with up coming Black Neumann
Iโ€™m jealous of that black unit you got. I much prefer it to the silver color. Looking forward to your impressions.
Tentatively is it was to happen to Today......

That sucks! If it was in shipped status i'd say just normal transit delay. But not shipped makes me think they caught their listing error and won't be fulfilling it until the official release date. You sticking with black or will you try silver?

Silver looks fine but being Black will distinguish it from my HD630VB. : )
And I'm getting it for a better price.(and no hurry so I'll wait) :wink:

You guys buying and selling headphones faster than traders exchange stocks...LOL..

I am not selling things easily but I would never consider selling any of my 6 series headphones.

Actually I bought the HD600 and Hd660s2 from Greece which once opened you cannot return them back. Once I found them in the right price I bought them knowing I will definitely keep them... and I do not regret it a bit....

Die hard 6 series fan as I already said...

i am a little curious if it is possible to reduce the dark sound of the S2 with eq?
Can't speak on EQing per say as I never use it but the phones, all phones have their own voice or colouring as you are well aware. Don't believe I'd call the S2 dark, maybe slightly warm and maybe prodigious EQ might brighten things up but you would change the overall tonal balance. If sticking with Sennheiser the HD560S or HD599 would offer a brighter presentation, otherwise something like Focal or a Grado may be more in line with your preferences.
Possibly just removing the inner foam may be enough for what you are hoping to achieve.

In the name of scientific research or maybe just an impulse buy, either way I've now what would be my 4th HD660S. lol :sunglasses:
Only an hour or so of comparisons but its like having identical twins and coming to terms with what makes them different, if not for the copper and silver, on some selections I'd be hard pressed to tell them apart.
Would say the S2 has slightly more meat on the bone, but only very slightly so there is an improvement all round in harmonic naturalness, maybe better defined layering and a touch more bass extension making the S2 ever so slightly warmer, the S may have a bit more happening in the treble, like peaks, but beyond my hearing, sorry. :rolling_eyes:
I believe it is in long term listening where the differences are most apparent and quick A B comparisons only force the brain in creating a level playing field
Having had 3 previous pairs of HD660S I can say the newer S2 does engage me more "musically" and that is what is important but maybe not worth the price difference for some.
