Bass response might be the same but bass extension looks clearly superior, at least according to the FR graph.

Don't mean to deflect here but I cannot watch this video. I keep staring at those extremely long nose hairs he has growing out of his nostrils.

Oh heck YAS!!! I love my 560S headphones. I'm all in on this one.

Sound waves act differently depending on the material used and the distance to your ear. Bass is highly dependent upon a seal so material like sheepskin or PU leather will improve the bass where as material like velour will reduce bass as there isn't as much of a seal against your head. Having...

Depends on whether the altered sound is actually worse. It's always subjective of course.

Oh, they are comfortable. Not tight at all. Weren't even that way from day one.

Brainwavz doesn't really care about tuning. They just make pads for fitment. One size fits all. I wager most people that settle on Brainwavz pads never give the Dekoni pads a try. There's both comfort and proper tuning with the Dekoni Elite sheepskin. "Dekoni worked closely with Meze Audio to...

Snagged a pair from Bloom Audio for cheaper than Dekoni direct: https://bloomaudio.com/products/dekoni-elite-earpads-for-meze-99-series Not sure if they deliver to Canada but give them a try.

Yep. Smaller pads. I still think people should try the Meze 99 Classics/Noir with Dekoni Elite sheepskin pads. I absolutely love the sound and feels like two soft pillows on my ears compared to the stock PU leather pads.

Selling used excellent condition Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir headphones. Owned since February 2023. I had Dekoni Audio Elite pads on these for most of the time so the stock pads have very little use. Comes in original storage case with factory 6 foot cable and second set of smaller Meze pads...

Excellent communication and fast payment! Thank you!

Selling used excellent condition Sennheiser HD 660S2 headphones. Owned since December 2023. Used with a mix of other daily headphones, decided that I need to reduce my collection. Marking them in "Good" condition simply due to pad wear. Otherwise the plastic, metal, etc is excellent condition...

Excellent communication and fast payment! Thank you!

Selling used, excellent condition Schiit Magni Unity w/ESS USB internal DAC. Originally purchased and used at work in office environment, no longer needed. Comes with original box, USB cable, power supply, all paperwork. Perfect little all-in-one unit for a laptop/desktop setup. I have 100%...

Welcome to the club! I really cannot get enough of the 660S2. I wear them 6-8 hours a day.

Dang. That's where I got mine at (and the price I paid). Glad to see it down again. It's a steal at that price! Link: https://www.amazon.com/SENNHEISER-660S2-Audiophile-Headphones-Transducer/dp/B0BRT1ZN7Q/

True. That's all that matters is that they sound good to you. :relaxed:

Removing the foam has been a thing with Sennheiser HD6XX for quite some time. You can literally find posts about it on Head-Fi from over 20 years ago: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/removing-the-foam-from-hd600.23833/ Just saying it did remove bass, especially bass impact. So maybe that...

It definitely removed bass. I removed one pad and could literally hear the reduction in bass from the cup that I removed the foam from. I don't think the material is "blocking" any sound. I think it's acoustically transparent. It's so thin already. All of the HD6XX series uses the same inner...

Just tried it. Didn't add any clarity. Reduced bass. No thanks. The 660S2 sounds nice and warm and smooth with stock pads and inner foam.

Reception is fine for those who actually want the sound signature. I can complain about a ton of different headphones that people love. I find Sundara to be too bright and heavy. Yet some people think they are Hifiman's blessing to the world. Also avoid social media influencers on YouTube...

I got the newer 560S with the 2m cable and 3.5mm end with 6.3mm adapter. I have both the 99 Noir and the 560S. They are both quite different. I have the 560S for gaming and sound stage. I have the 99 Noir for times I need isolation of my music from my wife. I think the 560S definitely need...

The foam on the inside, between the pads and driver. Some people take out the foam insert and use nylon to add mid/treble response.

Excellent communication and super fast payment! Thank you!

Just got my Magni Unity today with the DAC. Sounds fine. I prefer warm/neutral sound and I'd say it's quite smooth. Using 660S2, 560S and Meze 99 Noir headphones.
