All I want for Christmas is a good in-ear headphones deal – and Sennheiser IE 600 is the one

Santa baby, stick a Sennheiser IE 600 under the tree, for me…

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.Here’s how it works.

Look, we’ve got guides for the bestChristmas salesin the US andBoxing Day salesin the UK, for great holiday andChristmas gift ideas. I’ve also personally curated agift guide containing the 9 best earbuds you can currently buy…

But maybe you want something high-end – something able to deliver the best audio quality the human ear can hear. Maybe you want some of thebest wired headphoneson the market and, although we went with theIE 600’s more affordable sibling within that guide (theSennheiser IE 300), having spent some time with the step-up IE 600 model and evenhad custom ear-tips made for them, I need you to know that for the right person, these in-ear monitors are fantastic.

And now, the deal! The Sennheiser IE 600 are nowjust $499.95 (was $699.95) at Audio46– a huge $200 saving on earbuds that only launched in March 2022!

Sennheiser IE 600:was $699.95 now$499.95 at Audio46Although the retailer lists these IEMs alongside an MSRP of $799.95 (so a whopping 37% off, or $300), they’ve been available for $699.95 for a little while now – and if you head to Amazon, you can get them for $599.95. But this?! This is over $65 cheaper than they’ve ever been (for clarity, in July Amazon briefly listed them for $566, but that deal is no more). They’re fashioned from a metal called ZR01 amorphous zirconium. Sounds premium, right? That’s because it is – it’s the same metal used for the drilling head of NASA’s Mars Rover.

Again, the Sennheiser IE 600 sit in-between the company’sSennheiser IE 300and theSennheiser IE 900audiophile-grade, TechRadar-recommended wired earbuds.

Regular readers may have followed my quest earlier in the year to jump aboardSennheiser’s trial custom ear tip scheme(which involved a wild trip toHigh End Munichtoget my auricles 3D mapped inside and out). The in-ears I used to test those beautiful little lozenges was the product on offer here and I have to tell you, they are excellent value at this money.

Arguably my favorite wired earbuds at the moment are the superlativeCampfire Audio Solaris Stellar Horizon, and it’s those levels of detail, clarity, agility and insight you’ll get from these nowmuchcheaper Sennheiser IEMs.

Oh, and those Custom Comfort Tips I was talking about? It seems you cannow order a set from Sennheiserin some regions, for €165 (around $180), so you could even put that saving to good use…
