Open headphones with good sub bass?
If you can get them, they are quit scare right here now. Bass is awesome though. In that depart they blow away a LCD2 or HD6XX series right away- 00headphone00

The ananda and the moondrop I just listened at the store, comparing them with the FT5. The HD650 I have still. The FT5 suits "not too bright" and entry level. If you don't mind/like a bigger bass and mid forward (<1K) sound, they are really worth trying. The Ananda is more V-shaped, so more...- 00headphone00

I think most people experience brightness or sibilance especially if there are large sharp peaks and dips in the FR, no so if it's smooth but extended indeed. I didn't found the FT5 having excessieve peaks/dips, I experience it as quit smooth. I found the Ananda very smooth despite it has...- 00headphone00

I found the Hd650 brighter then the FT5. The HD600 is even brighter. I am not sensitive for upper treble brightness though, I even like it to have some sparkle. There are more reports of the FT3 being bright, I think the FT5 is worth trying.- 00headphone00

The highs I found a bit smoother and darker with the suede pads. Everything is a bit more mellow/rounder with the suede pads. The pleathers are more tight and straight forward. to be honest, I also had some tracks in the beginning where the highs were a bit sharp, but when I switched back to...- 00headphone00

Interesting! Another one who gives the 650 the edge on soundstage! Very interesting. Thinking about it, I think it has not much to do with the DACs/Amps (assuming using decent ones) but the physical fit. Moving them on my head significantly changes the soundstage. I found the HD650 more...- 00headphone00

How do you think the FT5 does compared to the hd650?- 00headphone00

That's a shame! Especially if it was a test unit and someone/somewhere tried to repack and reusing the seal. Not possible someone thought I will sell the test unit as "opened box" and someone found the box and thought it was brand new? It sounds a bit too dumb to be done on purpose . . . Maybe...- 00headphone00

I remember trying them in someone their laptop. I was surprised how dull it sounded. They nowhere had the dynamic even my cheap smartphone delivers. They sounded dark and flat on it. I found them also very closed like between my head again. My own smartphone just misses bass, my own desktop pc...- 00headphone00

Interesting how some people experience the FT5 as not very open and small soundstage, while others experience them as very wide. I tried back my HD650 (which I find sounding wider than the HD660S2) a few days ago. It still is a very competent headphone, especially the correct tonality and just...- 00headphone00

The king doesn't exist as its a very personal choice in my opinion. The FT5 for sure belongs to a "must try" in this price range especially as their sound signature isn't really represented well within this price range. If you like their signature it can outperform a lot more expensive...- 00headphone00

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
When I tried the FT5, 660S2, 650(new pads) and Ananda out in the shop, they were connected to a FIIO K7 and a external DAC (I didn't remember this one). So all on the same amplifier. To be honest, I like the HD650 (and probably the 660S2) more on a high impedance source like an OTL tube amp or...- 00headphone00

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
Not bloomy, but boomy. Like it's very present but not deep, no rumble/subbase just boom boom . . Hard to describe, little like you push al the HD650 mid-bass in together in a 100Hz spike instead of a smooth bump.- 00headphone00

Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread
Are you sure you used the suede pads on the FT5? The leather pads are give significant smaller soundstage. I compared the HD660S2, HD650, FT5 and Ananda a week ago. I found the HD660S2 with a gap, the most closed and smallest (in your head) in soundstage, much smaller than a HD650. The FT5 were...- 00headphone00

Great review. The comparison with the HD650 is pretty much also my experience except the 650 didn't sounds veiled for me I gave another try with the leather pads, but I agree with this reviewers opinion, they make the soundstage smaller, they sound more closed in where the suedes are wider and...- 00headphone00
