Ok, but they imply from the measurements something about the sound of the 660S that is almost the opposite at listening.
And measurements in the high frequencies with headphones is still a tricky thing, that not even mighty sonarworks people has completely solved (see the differences I stressed before)
Not mentioning that to imply sound impressions only from the frequency response is completely silly. There are more players in the game, even only looking at measurements.
I can only assume that you haven't read the SW review that I originally linked.....? They start by giving their subjective impressions from listening:-
Uncalibrated sonic performance
Subjectively, before peeking in the measurements the HD660 S felt familiar, yet it seemed brighter than the HD6XX old guard. Not annoyingly so, if used for recreative listening, however in mixing these extra highs might prove troublesome.
And isn't this the general impression here based purely on listening - that the HD660S is brighter than the HD650? Their (doubtless as accurate or more accurate than anyone else's) measurements simply bear this out.
I'm not sure what your point is......?
