Weight and fit: The GL600PRO features an all-aluminum shell and weighs only 366g. Compared to other planar magnetic headphones in the same price range, such as the Hifiman Ananda Unveiled (449g), the FiiO FT5 (456g), and the Moondrop Paradise 2 (515g), the GL600PRO's weight advantage is quite significant.
At its heart sits a 97 × 76.5 mm ultra‑thin aluminium diaphragm paired with dual‑sided N55 neodymium magnet array, carrying over core engineering from the brand’s higher‑end GL1000PRO model. Tuned for 32 Ω impedance and 96 dB sensitivity, this open‑back headphone delivers genuine planar performance even when driven by portable dongles, players or modest desktop stacks — no bulky high‑power amplifier required.
Sonically, the GL600PRO presents a well‑balanced, thick‑bodied signature. Bass carries solid weight and texture, mid‑range renders vocals and instruments with natural density, and treble stays refined without harshness. It handles pop, rock and vocal‑focused material brilliantly, making it an ideal entry point for listeners stepping from dynamic‑driver headphones into planar‑magnetic territory.
