Lol...(tracking me eh!) don't know if it's "amazing engineering AND WARRANTIES"...but their very robust build and honest approach to reproducing, amplifying an audio signal was the main point and.....being in driving distance (they have since moved) for repairs didn't hurt either.
I am continually impressed by the 660S2, to the point where I'm reaching for it more than the Clear MG.
Not saying it's better than the Clear MG in technical performance, even though it gets very close. But I much prefer the overall tonality of the S2. The whole tonal balance is nearing perfection for my tastes, everything sounds natural and true to life on it.
As an all rounder for basically any genre out there, I honestly don't think I would take anything else, at least the headphones I've heard under $1k. Maybe I would take a Sundara or HE-500 for some bass-rich genres. But they don't have the near perfect timbre and tonality of the S2, or any of the HD600 series for that matter.
It's normal. American brand, American produced, it''s normal that in Europe this product is always more expensive, and not by a little. Only 599€ now from Sennheiser.[insertyourEUcountry].
Is out of stock currently. It was an offer in Greece in the summer where I used my credit card for 48 interest free payments just because I could ... βασικά το τερμάτισα...
I bought it on an impulse because i already bought 3 other great headphones this year with literally no time to listen at all and that was an offer that literally could not resist. I went to buy ink for my printer to this shop and bought this instead... but i am glad I did because is very special headphone and i would have not done otherwise given that i have all the other 6 series.
350$ brand new is an even better offer...This bundled with the HD600 and that's it really.

Haven’t had the chance to compare early 600’s to later ones sadly. I have heard both but not side by side. I do find my new production HD 650 to sound downright silky. The HD 660S2 doesn’t have that silkiness and is my main complaint about the S2 on my current system. I also find my 660S pairs better with my system than my HD 660S2, the S is just effortless and just disappears with long term listening, this is partly due to its complete lack of listening fatigue on the system. The HD 650 also doesn’t disappear either like the 660S does on my system. Whereas the S2 is more resolving, etc. but it will need a different system to truly shine. It just reacts differently to systems than the HD 660S and HD 650 so will need a different approach to bring out its best.
I do plan on getting more dacs and amps and this can create completely different results. I just managed to hit a rare sweet spot in terms of synergy with the HD 660S with my current system as I had with other headphones in the past with different systems. System synergy is a fickle beast.
*Also note I have very long listening sessions well in excess of 4+ hours at moderate low to moderate volume levels. When I say no fatigue I mean like 5+ hour listening sessions of no fatigue to add context.
When you sent this yesterday, I had already placed the ordered on Amazon, and I actually just received It today, also wanted to note you were correct the box is not sealed. Everything inside looks great, put on my sheepskin and back to my listening.
At $400 This headphone has great value for what you get, especially when compared to its other siblings in the 600 series.
I think it's more due to it's increased intimacy combined with the extra bass energy and dynamics. But I think the main culprit is something in my system chain.
