Features and Benefits

BeoPlay H6 BlackThe BeoPlay H6 doesn’t try to compete with flashier headphone makers that sacrifice performance for faddish style. They have low-key looks, but every surface and material is first-rate. True audiophiles care about two very important factors when choosing headphones. First, they need to reproduce sound accurately. Secondly, they need to be comfortable enough to wear all day without giving you a headache. The BeoPlay H6 excels at both. The H6 is covered with super-smooth kidskin leather that doesn’t irritate your ears. The earpieces are mounted on a lightweight but strong aluminum frame, important for a device that occasionally gets sat on when you forget it’s on your chair.

Some music listeners like their music to be reproduced with certain frequencies boosted, and they might be disappointed with the BeoPlay H6. The H6 is designed for super-accurate reproduction, and avoids the bass-heavy sound of cheaper headphones.

Conclusion
Choosing headphones based on other people’s reviews can be difficult. A set of headphones that fit comfortably on one person can hurt another person, and some people prefer some frequencies in the audio spectrum to be stressed, while other like clean sound. That’s why the reviews of the BeoPlay H6 are so notable. It’s hard to find anyone that doesn’t rave about them. An amazing 85 percent of reviewers give the BeoPlay H6 four or more stars, and 65 percent give them five stars.

Audiophiles are especially enthusiastic about the BeoPlay H6 headphones because they reproduce sound so faithfully. Many brands of headphones exaggerate sub-bass tones to make them sound louder when you try them out, but once you get them home you quickly get tired of them. The BeoPlay H6 is capable of studio monitor reproduction. They’re highly recommended.
