Video Description

While there's a lot of love surrounding Sennheiser's HD 6 series headphones, there's also a ton of questions. Join Resolve as they endeavor to answer some of the big ones—including unit variation, the importance of pad wear, and how entries in the 6 series deviate depending on the head they're placed on.
