Anybody think the ZMF suede upgrade pads will make a positive difference on the new HD660S2 or will it not fit the new shape of the cups?
Hopefully this time next week..... : )Rob ! less than 24h later
This one...in reference to the HD660S......."people didn't understand sound quality at the time"......"in 2023 audiophiles have gotten smarter"..... lol...I give up, maybe he was 6 at the time?....definitely a whipper snapper. : )There actually someone on YouTube that has "reviewed" the 660S2 but without even listening to it, reviewed the sound quality from one graph, im not joking.
All sounds good..my only concern with regards to personal preferences is "It's missing the lovely treble sparkle"...I may have to revisit the HD600s as at the time my other phones were the brighter AKG K501/701s, and Grado SR225 & SR325i and the Sennheiser where always lack lustre in that department and we went to extremes to improve them....hhhhmmm?My 1st impression are they are better than the hd650 for me.. i wasn't a massive fan of hd650 tho i much prefer the hd600
The sound is more powerful and it sounds like a in-between hd650 hd600 more so hd650 ..in the middle.
It's missing the lovely treble sparkle of the hd600 have and mids are bit more recessed. Better mids and bass than the hd650.
Not as muff congested sounding.
Bass has better texture and details then my hd600 but my hd600 have good bass with a little eq not much difference in the thump.
.............
ps I've been using my hd600 for over 20 years and it's hard for me to change but these are 100% good.
Hoping my Bryston BHA-1 pull out all the stops on that one. : )Bass has better texture and details then my hd600 but my hd600 have good bass with a little eq not much difference in the thump.
Wow, nice!Rob ! less than 24h later
My hd660s2 came with the 4.4mm cableOnly the HD660S and S2 comes with extra 4,4mm cables now right? Not 600/650?

ASR clowns and minions like this should be studied beyond just audio.

Just to add...it's hard to comment on these things..unless they live in a complete virtual world...Sennheiser has been making headphones for over 1/2 a century...when designing a vibrating driver to reproduce the "absolute fidelity" of a full band width audio waveform and then place it an enclosure that encompasses the ears....we may never succeed...but somehow people are led to believe the solutions can just be pulled out of a hat, or virtually generated on a computer..Sorry it's not how the physical world works. Personally I'm amazed at how good audio equipment is today, oh well...back to the drawing board.
True- According to the first, the new headphone has significantly more sub bass / bass / lower mids than 660S (to an extend that it is potentially more than the 650 too) and also more high treble.
Not True, Less lower mids is not true, first impression of the 660S2 was that it dug deep so more subbass is true but unsure by how much, Less treble than HD600 yes in certain areas but no in other areas- According to the second, the new headphone has even less bass than the bass-light HD-600 (!) , less lower mids too, and just 1.5dB more subbass at 30 Hz! Also significantly less treble than the "neutral" HD-600
