Sennheiser IE 600 Zirconium Alloy in-Ear Monitor Headphones

Priced at a steal! Save over $175 off retail price. You will not find a better deal ANYWHERE. Even used and refurbished models cost much more! This item is brand new in original box and under manufacturers warranty. I paid $675 dollars for these headphones, checked the contents of the box but never once used them or even tried them on. Exceptional in every Detail. Enjoy not only the notes, but also the subtle scratch of bow on string, the faint chirp of fingers gliding to the next chord on the guitar. Neutral acoustic voicing brings your music closer, makes it more alive and vivid, yet pure and natural. Within this delicate balance, the IE 600 incorporates powerful yet fast and accurate low-end response. ((4 TrueResponse transducer, the single 7 mm driver is responsible for the extra-wide frequency range and ultra-low distortion. Resilient AMLOY-ZR01 amorphous metal housing, 3D-printed in Germany D2CA dual resonator chamber technology Direct, neutral tuning with fast, accurate bass Select 7 mm TrueResponse transducers optimized to achieve the lowest possible distortion Exceptionally neutral sound thanks to dual resonator chambers Gold-plated Fidelity (+) MMCX connectors for reliable connections Choice of para-aramid reinforced cables (3.5 mm, 4.4 mm) Adjustable ear hooks and choice of ear tip adapters Balanced, neutral voicing To achieve a natural sound reminiscent of the neutrality provided by high-end studio monitors, our engineers carefully tuned the acoustic back volume inside the nozzle of the IE 600. This voicing lends a presence and intimacy that brings listeners closer to the music, allowing them to discover new accents and details. However, arriving at this level of poise and naturalness was not without challenges. When similar sounds occur in a track simultaneously, for instance, it can become difficult for the human ear to resolve all the nuances. The IE 600 integrates dual two chamber absorbers (D2CA) which capture and attenuate these masking frequencies, revealing even the finest textures of your music. Stronger than steel, built to last Researchers have worked for many years to perfect amorphous metals for manufacturing. The wait was worth it — the zirconium alloy from Heraeus Amloy Technologies we chose for the IE 600 has triple the hardness and flexural strength of high-performance steel. Shock frozen during manufacturing, amorphous metals never have a chance to form a crystalline structure like conventional metals. The result is a lustrous, satiny surface that is ultra-resistant to corrosion and scratches. The IE 600 housing is fabricated using metal-powder-based 3D printing that can create any shape imaginable within tight tolerances. Chambers and channels form as part of this additive manufacturing process with no milling required. However, cost does limit the potential applications of this new material. One of the only places you’ll find it — besides ultra-high end products like the IE 600 — is in the drilling head of a NASA Mars Rover where extraordinary resilience in extreme conditions is required. Automated manufacturing, handcrafted finish Production of the amorphous metal housing takes place in Germany and includes both automated and manual steps. A computer-controlled laser sinters a thin coat of metal powder, welding the molten alloy to the already hardened material beneath it. Layer by layer, the part builds up to its ultimate shape. A technician then removes any artifacts of the manufacturing process by hand. After thorough cleaning, steel shot blasting, polishing, and sophisticated surface treatment, the housing assumes its final, extremely durable aesthetic. Even daily use leaves practically no evidence in the form of scratches or wear. The IE 600 packs big sound into a small, ergonomic package. The gold-plated MMCX connectors are recessed in the housing for greater stability and guidance. They support cable diameters of 4.8 mm and smaller, allowing you to plug into a wide range of audio sources as well as hi-fi components with balanced outputs. Choose between para-aramid reinforced unbalanced and balanced cables: 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm are included, 2.5 mm are sold separately. Two different styles of earbud tips — silicone and memory foam — are provided in three sizes to establish a comfortable seal in any ear. Flexible, adjustable ear hooks further enhance the long-lasting comfort. Frequency response: 4 Hz – 46.5 kHz Impedance: 18 Ohms THD: <0.06% (1 kHz, 94 dB) SPL: 118 dB (1 kHz, 1 Vrms) Included accessories: (3) pairs of silicone ear adapters (S/M/L), (3) pairs of foam ear adapters (S/M/L), cable clip, cleaning tool, premium carry case
