What is there to say about a headphone nobody's heard yet?

Put a bass shelf on your HD6xx and let us know ! ;p

The 660S are so far my go-to open-back headphone. I love the sound and they seem to be just right for what I like (could stand to be more comfortable, but that's my only complaint). I'm excited to try these. Though I know the 660S also came way down in price over the years, so if it's truly $600 I may have to wait a bit.

NGL I might start putting away for one of these. I've always liked the HD series, and had the 660s for like a week way back, but didn't keep them. If they made it a bit more lively at each end, with Senny's classic midrange resolution... hmm...

DMS has heard it.

He confirmed he’s working on a review but can’t give a timeline yet.

You're familiar with Reddit?

• Double the sound pressure at the lowest octaves: You can feel the lowest note on the piano (27.5 Hz) or the kick of the bass drum (45-60 Hz) as if you were there, at the recording studio

I'd be interested at ~$400.

$600? A bit too overpriced in my opinion.

600 is overpriced? xd. Susvara and Abyss is ultra overpriced then?

All three are overpriced. The only headphones I've bought at the "right" price since getting in to this hobby is the LCD-X at 950€

Did you heard these new headphones?

If not? Why say its overpriced?

Very excited to try these at Canjam NYC! Was initially looking for ZMF's, but given some new projects popping up on the horizon, maybe the 660s2 might be a more financially palatable option to replace my 660s. Guess I'll have to let my ears decide next month!

Well, if the build quality is compatible with the hd6 line there should be a very robust used market with tons of life left in the cans.

I've bought two 660s in the past. One open box for 220€, one new for 285€. HD600s for 250€ and I remember a pair of "used" brand new HD650 for 140€. These price are super appropriate and totally worth it. I mean, everybody has their own "what's this thing worth" drawer in their mind, right ? Nothing wrong with buying anything for any sum of money if it's worth it to you.

On another note I'm really looking forward to some sound impressions and more detailed specs like sensitivity and are they using new different pads than older 600 series sets.

If the first graphs are representative it seems that the new model tries to get closer to the Harman curve. More bass and more treble. But I think that the HD 6** family does not need any more mid-bass or higher bass though it looks that it has been added. Only more sub-bass was missing and a well controlled one. Also, the newly added treble could be a little too much. However, in use it might be found to be ok, if it is mostly the higher treble that is affected. Anyway, a rather unexpected but very interesting product!

Can't wait for measurements on this one, it will be exciting to see, I have a feeling there will come an updated HD 800s in the near future as well.

If they release a HD800s, with gold trim, my wife would divorce me because I would have to buy a second pair

$600 is right in line with this particular model when it was first released
