Going to the build of the HiFiman HM-601 Slim, it is mainly built of plastic, it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the Hisoundaudio RoCoo P, although the HiFiman HM-601 Slim is bigger. Buttons are a bit clunky and don’t feel much firm when pressed as opposed to the RoCoo P as well, but the HiFiman HM-601 Slim doesn’t feel like it will break easy anyways. It’s just built less better than the RoCoo P. At least you won’t be afraid of denting or having scratches on the HiFiman HM-601 Slim, right?
Sound Quality: Upon spending much time with the HiFiman HM-601 Slim, I realized how much the HiFiman HM-601 Slim has a classic sound. It has a vintage sound which is very analog. Meaning, the HiFiman HM-601 Slim‘s main focus is the mids being thick, warm and forward giving a very analog vintage sound. It sounds great for Jazz, pop and vocal centered tracks. I see vinyl lovers surely loving the HiFiman HM-601 Slim! Upon matching portable amplifiers with the HiFiman HM-601 Slim, I noticed how very clean sounding it is and how it has a very black background! Pairing it with an amplifier brings it to much greater audio capactiy, although making it more bulky. What’s also great about the HiFiman HM-601 Slim is that it has an SD card slot for additional and flexible storage. Perfect for your lossless vinyl rips. So to all you vinyl lovers and those who love an extremely clean sound, get your pockets and ears ready for the HiFiman HM-601 Slim!
