Seems a bit odd that an employee would make such a comment to a member of the public who is potentially going to then go & post this on a public forum & go as far as naming them?

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

There are strict NDA requirements when companies develop a new headphone product for many reasons. Any employee who spilled the beans early would most likely be terminated.

Something tells me they're not going to terminate Jermo lol.

I don't know. But as someone who has written reviews for Sennheiser, I can tell you that their NDA agreements are incredibly strict. If an employee made an announcement about an product that was unreleased, he was told to do so in all likelihood.

 

[SchwizzelKick66]

It seems the announcement is a wireless headphone. Maybe not what many here were hoping for....

Sadly not.

Apparently Bathys and 1000XM4 are selling pretty well and Sennheiser got jealous and wanted a piece of that market pie.Guess HD900 will have to wait,focus is on the casuals atm.

1000XM5 rather. I got one free with my Sony phone and I am surprised how good the tech is. Paired with Sony's app, as a tech gadget, not an audiophile item, it's quite good. Acceptable sound too. I had the chance to try Sennheiser's offering and honestly I think they shouldn't even try to compete with Sony in this area...

If there's a significant leap in sound quality, I support companies iterating on wireless headsets. That said, I am not a fan of waste and the fact that all these dying headphones with precious (and sometimes toxic) metals could end up in the trash because the battery can't keep a charge does not appeal to me in the slightest.

This track is bonkers on the 660S2. Whew.

Hello,

I just go my HD660S2 today after trying Meze 109 Pro, HD600, Focal Elegia, HifiMan Sundara, DT 700 Pro X, Meze 99 Classic, Fostex Th 610, Sivga sv023, ATH M50x. From all of them the one that i've loved the most was the HD660s2, so here we are with my first HiFi headphone in my life.

Coming from a Razer Blackshark V2 I was thinking that I would get a "wow" effect instantly, but it's still not the case. I can definitly hear the differences (warmer tone, smoother mid and treble, more clarity in the bass but not really "impactful" without EQ etc.). Maybe do I need to wait that my ears to get accommodated with it to get the wow effect during A/B tests?

Anyway, something that I was thinking is that: Is there an HD660s2 alternative with more soundstage ? Like, same tonality etc, but just a tad bit more soundstage. I've bought this one for 400 EUROS, so it might be hard to find something like that.

Thanks for the help

(PS: I really like them, the confortc etc is amazing for my head, which is suprisingly weird)

They are very subtle. On first listen I liked them, but it was not love at first sight. But every time I put them on, I liked them more. That is a rarity for me although it happened again recently with the Nectar Ambrosia's.

Times are very good indeed for Mid-Fi.

Give it a couple of weeks before you make a final decision. Unless of course the sound is just not a good fit for you.

For me the s2 is my second favorite. I enjoy the wder sound on my 109 more

I really didn’t liked the 109 pro unfortunately because it was what I wanted to buy when I saw them. But the sound is too metallic for my ears, I am treble sensitive so it was really too much for me
