So cymbals and triagle sound metallic, see the irony in what you write. They are made from metal, aren't they?

I'm pretty sure that it was a sarcastic comment...


Right?

 

[pietcux]

Sure.

Damn these are some sexy cans.

The HD660S pads are the same as the replacement pads for the HD600. They influence the sound in different stages of wear. Just got new pads for my HD650. There is only one official replacement pad out there for the whole series. HD580 to HD660S.

Sennheiser posted on Head-Fi that the pads are slightly different / improved / roomier.

No doubt they are only selling one type of ear pad for the entire line, but unless Sennheiser’s rep on here was flat out wrong, I take it to mean that the pads which debuted with the 660S are now “the” pad going forward for the line.

HD 58X Jubilee is going to be interesting mix in all this. It's interesting how closely it reflects the HD 650 curve yet has clearly has more balanced treble (not as large peaks, less dips), yet more sub bass. I would love to see HD 660 S graph overlaid but... Really looking forward to hearing (or more like reading) how these three compare.

Interested in seeing the HE60 pads vs 660 pads,

I've seen few pics with HE60 pads on the hd600

The opening looks bigger

34 quid for headband foam n pads

By the way, does the HD 660 S use the same headband foam as HD 650?

yes

Has anyone change the 660S drivers into HD600/650 housing?

Measurements are on another site from where the pic is from. I cannot link it, as i will be banned as per head-fi rules. I accidently linked from there before, and warned.
I don't think any of the pads except stock measure as well, but that is not to say one could not enjoy the less accurate, colored sound.
They seemed to measure better than the hybrid hm5 (which was not as crazy as the pleather hm5), but not as good as the stock pad.
I am interested in sheepskin measurements as i love the leathers1

This is my only mod on HD 660s. I'm listening with it for about a month and still like it. I can recomend It for those, who feels, that highest frequencies are too much there.
This simple mod doesn't cut voices and mid centric instruments, but place them further from head.
Also Bass increases noticable.
Treble instruments, like high hat, snares or cymblas, suddenly haven't that piercing strike, but nice smoothness.
I didn't like these type of mods, putting something in front of the driver, highs become sibilant or uneven in most cases. But on 660s, its realy listenable and more natural, with only less detailed and mutted treble. I like it for music with high hats and cymbals - (prog)rock, edm, metal, some pop ...
Also its non-destructive and reversible. Only thing, I use, is thin foam pad for AKG K701 (from ali, I can find a link). Spare 6xx foams, with circle cutted, should be also good option.

EDIT: But still, warmer amp or EQ heigh freqs, is better choice

i am not a measurements guy so to be honest i didn't get your exact thoughts except that you like the stock pads
btw i am not using my HD660 for mixing or clinical listening.

what is your amp ... i am not getting that piercing highs as you describe it , to the contrary i am looking for more details and air hehe
