It used to go for 100 when launched now you can find it for 40-60 relatively often (when it actualky pop up) i got mine from an auction for $30 and for that price, man its a steal.
Its neutral, has mid forward sound sig, and proper bass, its actually there. More than i thought it woukd from people's impressions, the treble is lacking so is detail. That, i expected. So far its one of the greatest deal i've ever got and this can easily compete with current 100-120 usd closed any day.

How the story goes:
I find this headphone, which were hyped up to be a Beats Studio 2.0 killer back in 2013, on a pretty sweet deal of $36, with all the feature set it has, ANC, folding design, removable 3.5mm cable, I figures, Why The Hell not? and click the buy button on reflex, Short 2 days later a courier arrive knocking at my front door at 18 p.m. "Now, how does this one fares" was what i think
 
Company Background, UE (Ultimate Ears) used to mainly do business in Professional lvl IEM, founded by Jerrry Harvey, they used to work together with various companies like Shures and Westone, with them they has their various up and downs until recently at 2008 they were acquired as a subsidiary of Logitech for a $46 million deal, after that they went silent for a bit, until at 2013 they release a slew of product line, ranging from Wireless Portable speakers, IEMs and a closed headphone, together with its brothers, UE4000 (on ear non ANC) and 9000 (ANC with Bluetooth APT-X connectivity) Since then there's no revision for the Logitech Closed headphone, with low sales seems to be the case, the chance for a successor in near future seems low, does the performance reflect it's sad track record though? I guess we can find out
 
Packaging and Accessories:

 
The UE6000 comes inside a box inside an outer cover that's printed with picture of the headphone and specs on the back side. First time handling it I feel that it's quite weighty for a small box, and voila, Logitech actually use quite a solid box to protect the UE6000 from any damage when transporting, very different than 2 of headphone box I've ever has the chance to open (AT M series, and Grado Prestige), It has magnet clasp design that opens up its upper flaps, so it might actually be good for a display case on top of a desk.
 
 
 
Inside we will find the UE6000 nestled inside its soft travel case, a short 1.2m cable with 3.5mm TRRS audio jack on both side, with the one angled at 90 degrees, equipped also with Apple Compatible volume control and play-pause + mic definitely designed for portable use, no second cable for home use and the lastly, an Audio Jack splitter that works alright. On the flap is all the warranty papers (expired of course), user manual and other formalities.
 

 
The cable, as you can see is blue, both for black and white version, it uses rubber jacket and doesn't retain memory, there's a black label attached to the cable to explain just how deep the cable must be plugged to ascertain stable connection, overall a good cable without much of a fuss
The travel case is made of soft fabric with little reinforcement, only foam here and there to relieve the headphone from minor damage like scratches, it also has small pocket to hold the cable when the headphone is stored inside, as it's small the headphone need  to be folded in to fit, just the way it is when it came from the factory too. The zipper also has protection against forceful opening, and you can install small lock if you desire, won't prevent a thief from cutting his way in, but at least it'll be safe from the hands of chummy friend that like to borrow your stuff without your permission
 
Build:
 

 
Feeling impatient after checking other things one by one, we finally go to the star of the show, The UE6000, nestled inside the soft travel case it looks so premium, way above the price I pay for it, the construcition is solid,it uses metal on its headband adjustment and folding mechanism with satisfying "click" sound when adjusting, other parts is plastic, glossy on the earcup and doff on the headband side
 I've seen few cases of the headband becoming spoiled after months of disuse, so better take care of it. The padding on the headband is plush and quite broad, ensuring comfort on every part of the crown of the head that get into contact with it, the pads themselves is also plush and generous, actually shaped like a human ear, mine easily fits inside without any part get pressed on. The build quality justify the price it used to sell at, $199, and for the price I paid for it, it's basically a steal.
 

 
Now to the nitty gritty of the headphones, the left cup houses the battery, 2 AAA battery, the way to open it is by pressing the button located on the underside of the cup, the enclosure is non removable so it ensure you won't lost or break it somehow. the battery has been advertised to last for 40+ hours of ANC mode, quite generous if I may say, will be long before i need to change it. On the right earcup is where the cable plugs in, quite unlike the norm, and on the top side is the on-off switch, with LED indicators that turn green when it's in use with good battery condition, the LED turns red when battery is low and need to be replaced/ recharged. The siwtch powers on the built in amp and ANC functionality that will affect the sound, on that topic, lets plug in the cable and hear how they sound
 

 
Gear:
Sony Multiflip 13> Fiio Q1> UE6000 for amped desktop scenario
Fiio M3> UE6000 for un amped portable scenario
test also will be varied by ANC on-off
 
1) Unamped with ANC Off: Volume for enjoyable listening is at least 27/60, will reach 31/60 depending on environmental noise, It has warm sound with kicking bass, mids is a bit recessed, but not far behind, and treble that's a bit soft with roll off on the highest frequency. The most prominent really is its bass, very fun and exciting. I don't care about environment noise at all with its already great passive noise isolation
 
2) Unamped   with ANC On: Both the bass and Treble got lifted up, with much more quantity in the bass it reaches deeper but also more bloated and less controlled, mids feels even more recessed as the bass is shoving it to the side, also on the treble there's more sparkle, overall the sound become more U shaped, on this mode, there's also a need to lessen the volume with all the help the built in amp gives
 
3) Amped with ANC Off: just like un amped, but with the treble lifted up for every volume increase, overall if properly amped it sound balanced, very fun and engaging, making the listener want to do some headbanging, toe tapping and even dancing! This is the best scenario at which I like to listen the UE6000
 
4) Amped with ANC On: Even more forward bas and treble, honestly it can be a bit overwhelming, some basshead may like it, me? not really...
 
For some, ANC mode may give way too much bass, but on the other hand Basshead will love it, but that's just the versatiliy of the UE6000, it can give you a bass boost on just a flip of a switch , this function may not satisfy audiophile that want to enjoy quality music, but it can work beautifully when used for other scenario, gaming and movie watching for example, it just gives more of that Ooomph that's needed on explosions and gunshot blaring, overall more immersive. So I say don't just dismiss this as a gimmick, the switch also help to drive the headphone from non powerful sources, true that the sound change a little bit, but what's important is for you to get an enjoyable listening volume without introducing distortion by over pushing your source isnt it?
 
ANC test:
You can hear the hiss of the ANC working, it's unescapable when listening to it in quieter environment while listening to music with many silent passages like acoustic etc, but on music with richer tones and inside a crowd of cars and people talking you won't even hear it,  In my opinion it's better to turn the ANC off on quiet room as it sounds better and save more battery life for crowded, more hectic activities later on.
The ANC, when compared to higher priced models like Plantronic Backbeat Pro, Sony MDR ZX770BN, and Beats Studio 2.0 that I've tested before, it certainly is lacking, the UE eliminates sound on low frequencies with much narrower window, you can feel it working only on constant sounding low frequencies, like humming of AC, hub bub of traffic, falling rainfalls, etc. it also as usual isn't good at taking care sudden unexpected noise like babies crying or falling object, etc, the great passive isolation,  when combined with its enhanced bass section on ANC mode UE6000 will more than enough to prevent environment noise from disturb your music listening enjoyment when you're out and about.
 
Very short subjective comparison (can't do A-B ing, as I doesn't own them, only by memory)
Compared with Sony MDR ZX770BN, the Sony is more of a "sleeper" headphone that really trying hard not to be offensive for long duration of listening… some will love it, some don't for me it's unremarkable, the UE has it trumped in sheer enjoyment, tigher bass, better highs.
 
With Beats Studio 2.0: the Beats has the UE "beat", The studio has clearer  Mids and treble, Bass is dramatic, quantatively and qualitatively (equal mid than sub bass)  treble energy is quite nice, it’s a fun, exciting one.
So for me it goes Beats 2.0>UE6000>Sony MDR ZX 770BN, but that is only sound, the Sony has overall plasticky build, and actually sound worse when ANC is activated, it has bluetooth APTX though, so if that what you're looking for go get em, The Studio 2.0 has overall better sound, yes but it only works in ANC mode that can't be turned off, it has no passive mode and uses micro usb to charge its battery that only last for 20 hours, the gloss build on the standart version is also quite fingerprint prone, the UE beat them both is versatility, comfort is overall it manage to equal, rivaling, even beat some in sound. All of that, as you can see come with great difference in price  
 

 
Round up:
UE6000 is a headset for people who like their bass ot be deep, but also fast and controlled, not covering vocals and instruments, it won't make your ear feel fatigued even when your crank the voume up on noisy areas with its warm sound signature. UE 6000 is a perfect Fulsize closed over ear for you that demands comfort and isolation without sacrificing on sound quality and portability, that, together with ANC, music control+mic, and foldable design is a combo that's hard to get on such a low price, you better get one while it last!
 
N.B its bigger brother, UE9000 is a better build coupled with bluetooth connectivity it essentially has same sound. Everything I say here applies there, just differ in buil (those fold flat rather than in, and the connectivity, proven by InnerFidelity review as well, if you find one in under $150 it actually is a pretty sweet deal too  
 
 
*Update
Made a foam cutouts for the base of the box, now i can tuck it away when I'm away from home for a while, I know its a shoddy job, but enough for me as long as the UE and my other headphone fit in it

Finally the erfect time to write up a review for this favorite can of mine
 
Build: looks flimsy and minimal, but Very durable, mine has went through more than a year and still no problem despite few times fall from bed height, cable caught on something, still come out of it scotch free, the metal cover of the driver doesn't have any visible scratches, velour pads more durable than M40x Pleather, (well of course) and more breatheable, It's also very light, headband even with no cushion rest in between the thicker part, and my head sit perfectly with no comfort problem whatsoever, no complaint from me
 
Sound: It has a warm signature, a bit neutral with not much of emphasis on bass and it always feel natural on any activities I use it with, whether watching movies, playing games, or listening to music.
Bass is Laid back and enough for giving the much needed atmosphere any music needs, for movie or gaming with tons of explosion though, it may need a bit of a Bass Boost (good thing my Q1 has it) and you wont ever demand for more
Mids are taking centre stage but not too intimate to make it feel unnatural, it feels like I am listening to them singing in the same room (albeit quite small one It has better soudntsage than competitors on the same price range, yes, but compared to popular AT's AD 500x,700 etc its around the same in width. 
It has rolled off treble, so if you compare it with SR60e on high notes realism like on "rain" and "applause" sound, the grado take the cake there, but I wouldn't stand watching full season of a series wearing only the Grado, M100, give me 3 and I can finish it in one sitting , It's made for long use comfort, not critical listening with much detail, so I'd gladly accept this,
 
Overall I'm very satisfied with this headphone, for the price I paid it for, anyone can walk in and buy a pair for any use, piano training, watching movies late at night, or whatever, with the comfort and sound it has, I feel this is the Porta Pros of Full size open headphone, though sadly Sony's MA series is discontinued now, I think that people need take attention of it when they find it on garage sale somewhere.

It's been half a year after I tried it out at my local Jaben store, I still remember how "magical" it feel back then, with the warm MA100 as my only full size headset back then, SR60e really introduce me to my fetish: few but tight bass, forward intimate mids and emphasis on it's treble with clarity and detail as its front.
 
With all my gear, SR60e is the one I turn to when I'm in "I want to listen for some music" mood. Small in size and easily transportable, though in tropical country like mine sweat definitely soaks up on the pads, sometime I did bring it out. I did bent the headband to my specific head site for better comfort (out of the box it's Tight) as Grado recommend it, now comfort is a bit better, still on ear though, maybe I'll invest on some bowl shaped ones later, or just upgrade it completely.
 
Overall I am and still are loving this headphone. and will be looking up to it's big brother (SR325e I'll be in lookout for you ) I've tried a pair of Allesandro MS2, and it's most noticeable improvement is it's smoother, more linear treble, and tighter bass, not too far off though, especially not $300 far. So if you feel enraptured by the SR60e after 1st try, just take it home with you.. you won't be disappointed!

[size=small]It's a fine earphones, and a great Bluetooth one for that matter. For the period of time since i bought it, I always wear it around my neck like a necklace, and it hasn't broke since... nowadays i use it as backup earphones whenever I think using my IM 50 a hassle, when It's raining, or just forgot to bring it... and Plantronic can make up for it in sound too, to explain it: A jack of all trades, but master of none, fine for any genre of music, but that's it. This will be a great headset for exercising and it durable to boot, what do you need more?[/size]

[size=10pt]My second review in Head-Fi (first one of Sony MDR MA100 with different username), so please do be tolerant with me.[/size]
[size=10pt]After long debate of choosing this or Shure SE 215, I finally choose the IM 50 as my first purchase in IEM. There'll be few pints I'll state here as for the reasons for you people who's in some kind of similar situation[/size]
[size=10pt]1. Form & Build: IM 50 has quite a bulky body that might irk some, but it has a sturdy design that everyone is used from Audio Technica products. AT made a new cables for the fairly new IM line, and it’s a great one, it looks cheap, yes, but it doesn’t feel like that at all when you hold it, tangle free with 90 degrees jack for the connections, also has a memory cables that act as ear guide. [/size][size=small] [/size]
[size=10pt] [/size]
[size=10pt]2. Comfort: Fairly comfortable, Although bulky, the phone sits comfortably on the outside of the ears, and the earguides make them rarely slip off. It’s a bit fussy to use it for the first time though, after you set it all to your preference it’ll be good to go. The included buds are comfortable enough, with the comply for the best sound and isolation, but you may want to buy another one for more versatility and comfort. *after the included Comply tore a bit (disappointed, as i rarely used it, break inside my case) i decided to use Spinfit by Ocharaku in Medium Size... fairly comfortable and make the sound a bit cleared. haven't changed it ever since.[/size][size=small] [/size]
[size=10pt] [/size]
[size=10pt]3. Sound: It’s a mid forward earphones, so any sound that’s in that range will sound fantastic, soundstage is intimate, with much quantity of bass without any sacrifice on any other sound. From my brief listen to M50x, it sound quite similar actually, so if you like and love the sound of M50, I bet you’ll like IM50 sound too…(People say IM70 is even more similar, but haven’t tried that yet to comment) It’s a joy to listen to any kind of music I throw at it. [/size][size=small] [/size]*update, during the time i reviewed this, I've bought 2 new headphones, An Audio Technica ATH M40x and a Grado SR60e, and I can confess that the IM 50 is the one i go to for my main genre of music: Anisong. which is mostly of female Vocals, and for Acoustics i'll go to my Grado. The two of them is my indisplacable gear.
[size=10pt] [/size]
[size=10pt]Summary: Audio Technica ATH IM50 will be a perfect choice for: Vocal Lovers, BassHead, and people looking for earphones with similar Sound signature with The Legendary M50[/size]
[size=10pt]Overall I’m very satisfied with this as my first purchase of IEM… I’ll try to look for IM02 as it seems to be an appropriate upgrade for this. Seems I’ll be looking forward for Audio Technica products in the future [/size][size=10pt]J[/size][size=10pt] [/size]

[size=small]Sony MDR MA series are all particularly similar, a series of comfortable, open back headset from Sony which look very simple. I found this MA100 for sale around $25, Have been reading good reviews of the MA900, I figured I as well buy the entry level model as my first purchase in Hi-Fi Audio. I’ve been regularly using it for a week now, so I figured I try giving my review here as there’s none yet.[/size][size=small] [/size]
[size=small]Comfort: Its very Light… sometimes I forgot that I’m wearing it, if not for the Unpadded headrest… It’s an open headphone, so heat doesn’t really linger, the earpads is comfortable enough, it has an angled driver to provide room for the ear (the brother MA300 has swiveling driver that can accommodate various size of ears for enhanced comfort) Definitely the most comfortable headset I possess. [/size]
[size=small]Build: Very flimsy feeling, made from cheap Plastic that creaks when my head moved a bit (like when eating) but the music will mask that. The Fabric Ear pads is very comfortable, not prone to get dirty, and very airy.[/size]
[size=small]Sound Isolation: Is nonexistent.. Feel the same with or without the headset on… Example: I can still hear the sound of my in ear headset with 60% volume from 1M distance[/size]
[size=small]Sound Quality: As you can see, I'm a newcomer in HI-FI audio, so I can't really describe the sound signature of this as I haven’t really tried that many around the ear Headphones (only tried ATH M50x and HD 202 for few minutes each, can't give comparisons) What I can say is that It sound natural and has wide soundstage, (I say I feel like sitting in a 5*4 room).. The widest I've ever heard, as I’ve never tried any other open Headset Before... The bass is there, but not pronounced, the vocal is front, String instruments sound phenomenal... I feel satisfied listening my music collection (Mostly female vocals, pop, and acoustics) with these, especially the acoustic, I can hear what I can’t before and I feel each instruments come from slightly different direction... quite fun. [/size]
[size=small]Mobile Use: This Headset is very flimsy, so I don't really use it for mobile use, and it has 40 ohm impedance, still possible for portable use, but I need to set the volume of the music up to 8-9/10 to reach enjoyable level using my Lumia. The 3M straight cable feel solid enough, only there's no strain relief on the part that enter each left & right earpieces.. Cause of Worry. The part proximal to the divider are quite thin too, prone to get twisted a bit after storage, Cable ended in a Straight-gold plated jack that feels sturdy.[/size]
[size=small]Verdict: I think this Headphone is good for: Movie Lovers, Those looking for open headset with low budget, People tired of bass heavy headphones and doesn’t care about sound isolation. [/size]
[size=small]I feel it’s a great investment for an entry level Open back Headphone, a proper all-rounder. Definitely going to keep it and maybe make a padding for the headrest will be my first mod for this. Will be looking for a nice IEM’s for portable use J[/size]
