Shanling HW600

Spacious, detailed, full-bodied sound, More comfortable than they look, Properly built and finished

Lacks low-frequency contrast, Large by any standards, Deeply derivative design

If you can ignore the use of real leather and can get beyond the uniformity of the low-frequency response, there’s an awful lot to like about the Shanling MW600. Their open, revealing and energetic sound is well worth investigating.

Sensitive to decoding quality. ; Natural vocal presentation. ; Decent distortion control.

Limited Accessories. ; Slightly confined staging.
