I am enjoying these today with the foam out. The mids are a bit more forward and the bass is sharper. I had been finding the bass a little muffled or soft. This is much better, for my tastes.

You should follow what some of us are doing
Stretch a piece of nylon over the drivers, then snap the earpads back on while the nylon is stretched. Stretch the nylon again with one hand, then use scissors to cut as close as possible to the earpads, the nylon will retract into the earpads and disappear. The nylon makes the S2 feel like a premium headphone if you have ears that touch the drivers.

That's what I did. Or did you do something different?

the s2 starts to become my favorite headphone now.
after i loosened up the headband i don't notice the clamp anymore, it is actually much better than the 109

i am curious how well the s2 would hold up against higher end dynamics or even planers? heard some just stay with the s2 since they are so easy going and comfortable

the s2 is my first high end sennheiser and i love them after i manged to loose the headband. i just love how well balanced the midrange is

I have a few headphones, the S2 is pretty much daily driver when at the PC so yeah something is done right, can't say it's absolute better than this or that but it's good

That's exactly what we're doing
Sorry I misunderstood, thought you were wearing them with bare-open drivers

I have a question. I'm listening to my 660s2 with no lining between the drivers and my ears. I've not had any issues with this setup. (So far). What are the risks of not covering with anything?

Thanks!

Something like this is both safe for the driver and sounds better than the original foam (to me). It was suggested to me on Head-fi some years ago.

Busted! Is that cleanable?
Hmm, I might have ruined mine; they almost look like a bird's nest.
I really thought some oil could be beneficial, too

I yoinked a pair of disposable black pantyhose from the shoe store and used them for the driver covers

I think they’re out of the clampy phase now. And my S1 didn’t get to me like this during the clampy stage so it’s something else bothering me. It’s something about how they present sound that bothers my ears as it’s different from the clamp discomfort.


It’s not that it’s too much bass, I have bassier headphones that cause no issues, but my ears aren’t at ease with their sound some reason. I say pressure because it feels like an uncomfortable pressure. I tend to listen at moderate-low to moderate levels so not me listening too loud.

I am unfortunately finding the same thing. There's just something iterating /fatiguing which my 600's did not have. Plus the head clamp on these is too much - I'm about a month in and still get a sore jaw - I flex them every time prior to wearing.
