It is interesting everyone has different ears, or the tilt of their ears pick up more sibilance then i do... nah' i am sure it's cuz iz b standing too long i front of my Marshall and mod'ed fenders that my 4000K is shot to that place you go in a hand basket, and why do they want you to go there in a hand-basket anyway? :~) anywho i get comments from all over the world, a lady in Russia said the HD-668B is awesome but i'm not use to all that bass.
interesting i had the privilege of talking to the designer of the Sason speaker just lovely speakers (wish i could afford that hunk of granite for our great room) Steve has a mod'ed pair of HD-668B, (a man that has ears that some of us engineers would die for) and really likes them enough to keep anywho... i really never liked closed ear cans but in the studio you have to have them so i have tried one after the other, used to use the 660, 669, 7506 K240 & 50$ range AKG, Shenn etc... and they just don't cut it not while the bass player keyboard and drummer are in the same room... the HD-662F rubs weenies with the best of studio cans, they just work... we did some tracking for Jonathan Scales just a super nice guy and awesome steel drum composer, i noticed on one of his uTube vids they were tracking with HD-660 (wonder where in the hand-basket they got those... Next) I will have to send them a couple of pairs of HD-662F... i post outcome... L8R...
I did't realize my frank but sincere comment would get a stir... i came across the 660 330 440 post and it seemed like these were fresh off the press... so i'm hype'd over the 662F not that i dislike the "Tenlux" boxed 660 i gave a pair to a friend of mine that has great ears... 6 mos L8R he said you know them 660 you gave me ... thats all i use now you were right when you said i would thank you L8r... so he invite's the clan over for his wormwood smoked ribs... {to die for trust me} and i have a pair of HD-662F you have to listen to them... he put's them on and said stop smiling you hillbilly whack nut, you know i don't need anymore headphones you jerk why do you bring cans over that sound this good, "Wow Better then my 660's" I know these freeking cans are amazing... Sorry i was compelled to post Nick N... and it is not that when (who writes like that anyway?) Ans: A Hillbilly... i first put on the 662F i thinking too much upper mid... and when i first put on a 669 i was like Wow unbelievable... but as time would have it, it is like a tone knob with these lux'omadic cans ~ 669 the tone knob is about 3-1/2, ~ 681 the tone knob has a bass and a treble and they are both on 10 with and mid scoop button pushed in, ~ 668B the tone knob man must be a perfect 7 with single coils, ~ 662F the tone knob is a flat 5 altered dominate minor in odd timing with a beautiful woman whispering in your ear i wanna have your baby, just the way i like tit i mean it.
another studio can i use in the iso rooms is the HD-681... i think i will have to mod a pair... yea like take the drivers out of a 662F and pop them in very easy to do, BTW and throw my old worn out AKG covers on them they are all cracked and worn but press ever so lightly against my head, (no extra pressure needed) makes me think of my old 504 Peugeot with a 4 speed on the column... duel carbs, you could drive off road and think you were still on the highway... anywho the 681 are classical heaven like pulling out the old Percy Faith LP's just Strings and laying back in listening heaven and maybe throw on some Doris Day, Julie London or Blossom Dearie May I Come In... her voice is so sexy... i had to take a 2nd listen.. i couldn't believe what i heard the first time.
