Back to music with Sennheiser IE 6

Finally, I managed to buy a pair of Sennheiser IE 6 last week, during my visit to London. I have used many brands from JBL, Shure, Bose, Klipsch and to a few Sennheiser's. I have to admit that, this is one of the best piece of in ear headphones I have ever used up to date.

To give you some idea, these are the headphones I have used in the past :

Brand	Model	Score	Price
Sony	NC-22	1/10	USD 120
Bose	Triport	3/10	USD   89
Klipsch	Image S4	4/10	USD   85
Sennheiser	CX 300	4/10	AUD   80
JBL	410	6/10	USD   79
Bose	Quite Comfort	6/10	USD 285
Sennheiser	CX 95	7/10	AUD 179
Sure	E3C	7.5/10	USD 240
Sennheiser	IE 6	10/10	AUD 339

I bought my IE 6 from HMV store at Piccadilly, London. I managed to burn them to the perfection while using them in flight at a high volume for over 20 hours. I had to fly ~22 hours from London Heathrow to Brisbane. To get the optimal performance (good thumping) you need to burn them for a period of time at high volume.

The IE 6 provides deep rich bass, detailed highs with vibrant mids. The sounds are crisp clear as one could ever imagined it to be. It would surely blow you away. I stopped using my iPod for a while, for its incapability to handle the "loudness war". But with these IE 6 headphones, I'm back on track listening to music like I did during my school days. ;-)

the IE6 comes with a half dozen of different ear plugs, so you could pick what's best for you. To suite your ear canals. The default ear plugs provide moderate bass with bit of highs. I went one size up to get my blend of music and it was awesome. I have never enjoyed music over 3-4 hours continually , using headphones.

But I truly can't take these headphones off my ears. The apple Australia site advertise them at A$ 339/= (LKR ~ 34,500/=) and indeed it's worth the money. You won't regret ... just be yourself.. just listen to your ears.. they would be pleased with these ;-)
