Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Yeah. I think so. I was fortunate to buy mine for about 300 euros last year. (black friday)- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Since they work well with my Samsung A8, they should be good with the LG V40 too. I don't use them with my phone though, as with the original cable and the adapter it's a bit too long and bulky. I also have a phone case that won't take a larger plug. You might consider a shorter cable with a...- Headstar

The New HD 560S: Linear Acoustics at a Breakthrough Value
Looking for your impressions FeedYourHead. I own HD 598 and HD 660S. And I am very curious how do they compare with HD 560S. I think I was the first owner of the HD 598 here on the forums, and I've used them for a long time. But I almost never listen to them after I got the HD 660S. I still...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
An easier way to know which design are, is to look where the three dots indicating the Left cup are. If they are on the side, it's the new design, if they are on the front side, along with the HD 660S badge, then it's the old design. If you have L & R in a circle, stamped on under the HD 660S...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
From my experience, if you feel the HD 660S are shouty or too bright, you are listening too loud! I did the same mistake when I bought them. I was used to the HD 598 signature, where I sometimes had to crank the volume a bit to get that feeling of more detail, as sometimes it felt the vocals are...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I've noticed the HD 660S are interfering with my sleeping pattern. Ever since I've got them, I go to bed at 4 am. :beyersmile: Be warned. These things are very addictive. :astonished: Good Night! :zzz::sleeping::zzz:- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Thanks. I have but won't help too much. I installed bigger moisture absorbers. They collect quite a bit of water after a week or two of use. Then I have to empty them. They do a better job but it's costly in the long therm. Also I'm thinking of long periods of storage, like 2-3 years unused...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
I keep mine in a home made pouch. Same for the HD 598. I used to have headphones in their original boxes or other closed spaces. If i kept them there for too long they either had a funny fungus smell or the cable and plug was melting. I'm trying to avoid that, but still keep them away from too...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Yes they are three of them. I believe it was Mike F who had or still has all three of them. I have the new one and it sounds glorious. I doubt they are different sounding though.- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Looks like you have an intermediate model. The box and the design is the old one, but the sticker says Made in Romania. The new design is the one shown here by Sennheiser: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sennheiser-hd660s-finally-a-successor-for-the-hd650.862308/page-304#post-15184355 I had...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?
Both versions are black. :) The old ones have Made in Ireland written on the inside of the headband. On the new one, Made in Romania, it does not says on the product, only on the bottom of the box. The boxes are different too. The previous model (Ireland) has a black box with blue and...- Headstar

Sennheiser HD 598 Impressions Thread
As long as they work, cable is intact, and nothing seems to move inside, it seems everything is fine. So, don't worry about. :)- Headstar
