The temperament is in the music, not in the listening chain. If you like it hot, what about a Beyerdynamic T1 first gen? Ringing ears for free....

To me the HD660S2 is the best over ear headphone that I ever bought. I can listen for hours to all my music genres without ever thinking about making it sound like any other headphone, exchanging pads or cables. Yesterday I listened to Nils Wülkers last album and found that the HD660S2 does...

If you compare to an IEM with a 10dB bass elevation, the bass on all HD headphones is very subtle, or if that is your gold standard, non existing, lol. But that is ok, it all comes down to personal taste. The bass of my Sennheiser IE900 looks quite similar to your MEST MK II, but I can enjoy the...

For gaming I use the Dolby Atmos plugin for Windows. This works with any dac/amp and any headphone. Turns the headphone into a sorround system. In some games you even get Atmos like sound from above and below.

I always need some time to equalize my hearing system to any different headphone. So going from the HD660S2 to my HD800 always takes some time. And after this time passed, the bass on the HD800 is very good with most of my music. My only gripe with the HD800 is that I find it far less...

Oh that one is still around, but rarely used. It is not as balanced over all as the HD650 to HD660S2 family. And that one is really toasty oh boy... due to this it is more a wintertime fun headphone.

Sure they do not match the bass of my very large subwoofer in my living room cinema system. But they improve enough to be excellent at all my music preferences. Plus they are light, comfortable and do not break the bank.

Again you state that the pads of the HD660S2 are toasty. I wore them in 41 degrees celsius for a very long time without any problems. But in a dry climate. In central Europe.

Sadly not.

That comment was made public in either this or the original HD660S2 introduction thread.

I asked Jermo from Sennheiser after the HD660S2 was released if it was worth waiting for a new closed HD6XX headphone and he wrote: Yes.

I have been following your adventure over @ the Neumann thread. I always get rather sceptical once they claim that the holy grail was found. Thanks for going that route, saved me a lot of time and money.

You might want to check on Forzaaudioworks in Poland. They have several configurable cable quality tiers and a very good manufacturing quality.

Even though I prefer to use it wired, this is an interesting question. Maybe you check this thread for answers. Fiio seems to be present there. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-utws5-true-wireless-bluetooth-earhooks-as-usual-coupled-with-independent-ak4332-dac.959856/page-48

Boy does that Crescent strap look ugly. The headband of the HD660S2 is so comfortable for hours, I myself do not feel the need to put anything there.

It is a side grade to the HD650 like the Sony Z1R is to th Z7. So no it is not.

I had the DT1990 pro some years ago, I think the HD660S dethroned it as all-rounder. In my opinion, the Beyers are great, but not as well balanced as the Sennheiser HD6..series in general. With the S2 the series has reached a new plateau of performance, that really make it stand out. No Dekoni...

It is about time that you buy a proper headphone. One to wear all day without fatigue and only providing great sound. Plus, life is short. I have them on right now, R.E.M Everybody Hurts, sounds just awesome, just like it should sound. Ohhh, soo good!

This is a very enjoyable listen on the HD660S2. Without any EQ applied over here.

Did you ever try to bend the headband outwards to decrease the clamp force? It is a common practise on this headphone series. That will releave any pain.

You mean sound pressure like too much bass?

I did not mean your post, I found one in Germany selling for 389€. That is a fake. I quickly removed the link I posted and then wrote fake shop as explanation.

Fake shop.

Nice and very coplete review, he understood, what this HD660S2 is all about, it is evolution, not revolution. Chilling to YELLO TOUCH as I write this. Another great record to show this headphones capability.
