I feel that they really haven’t brought anything new and ground breaking to the market since the HD800.

Everyones waiting for that day that may never come, if it does, expect it to break headfi for a second time.

HD900 in our hearts.

@ericpalonen, if Sennheiser ever use that name I expect a commission!

Maybe its mature, divine sound is already here!... (Square root of your dream model)....

Well, yes, point taken, but I was thinking of something within the means of normal mortals!

Yes, groupthink! It’s a very powerful thing. When the 660S came out it was almost universally praised here for its clean fast detailed and above all more powerful bass compared to the 650. Now suddenly the consensus (at least on the 660S2 threads) seems to be that it has weak bass. Strange........

The quality of base was one of the first things that caught my attention with the HD660S over the 650, and now there's no base??? I'm scratching my head on that one too????? Blame it on the multiverse. : )

To quote myself...

Thanks for the initial impressions and graph. From the FR it looks like they bumped up the bass and mids of the HD660S compared to the 650, however treble wise it looks almost the same/slightly more on the older 650 (except nearing the 20k region)?

Too close to my other fav. manufacturer,
K1000

.....but then K512, K612, K712, K812 ...see a pattern : )

Well that 650 was modded, so who knows......

@ericpalonen , in the original post of this thread, between the first and second paragraph, it says: “We're just getting warmed up”

Is that Sennheiser just getting warmed up with the release of the 660S2 and there’s more to come or is my English failing me?

Now your talking. : ) .....wait who's Joshua Valour?

Some dude who thought the SR80e was much superior to the GS2000e and was obviously so perplexed by the Ora GrapheneQ neutrally, spaciousness and clarity that he had no choice but to trash them.

There was another reviewer (DMS?) who reviewed the Ollo S4X and spent most of the time talking about how their target goal was ill defined, and then claimed the HD560s was a better headphone. What can one do? We all hear differently, right?

But I’ve lurched off course. Back to the regular programming.

I just wonder how much ground there is to break. I mean, listen to an HD800s and ask yourself “What am I missing, what am I not hearing?” Hell, ask yourself that with even some $500 headphones.

I often think that over the last ten years or so, there have been huge price increases for merely moving the sonic goalposts. Get distortion and square wave measurements near perfect and then we’ll talk.

Just a little word play about the warmer bass signature
