I laughed at the end of this video when the guy said "the future of audio".
Me too. It's funny to think that the 'future of audio' is a headphone that's based on a 25 year old design.
But if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just keep refining it! :thumbsup:

Even tough I have no problem with the video, as this kind of marketing is often used in Germany, I can assure you, the HD660S is a superb can. I could not find a single flaw until now.

Hopefully I may partake in the headphone in about 12 days. Yes, who cares about marketing. Marketing is not much of anything, unless it's funny of course!

Our ears are base on a rather old design too.
Wich overall sound Warner? Fuller? More musical? The 650 or 660s? With the 660s you get much better sound straight of a smartphone than with the 650?

Wich hás deeper and Fuller bass?
I never listen out of my smartphone. The HD660S has the better bass, it goes deeper and is faster. Less distorted as we know from @jude 's measurements.

Has anybody seen this schiit yet?! It's hilarious!! :grin: It's soooo bad! :poop: It almost makes me not want to buy a pair of HD 660S's...... almost. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Honestly, I am so effing tired of seeing him all over this place, every time I log in. Just picture of his stupid face, only one pic with in-ears. Otherwise he's not wearing any headphones. Hey everyone - buy our headphones - because - because - hey - look - an ugly guy all over your headphone group. Sennheiser paid money for these ads?

Just did the bend mod of the headband to reduce the clamping force. It has the same clamp as the HD650 that's for sure.

Like the video myself :wink: I think it's quite cool, dark and arty. It's very European

So is the build quality essentially the same as the HD650? It seems to have a matte surface and looks much better overall.
Yes and yes.

Is your flaw the video, or you have found a flaw while listening?

Again, the video is ok and the HD660S has no flaws.
You said "I could not find a single flaw until now" which means you just found the first flaw. I think you wanted to say "I did not find a single flaw so far" - at least if you meant "ich habe bis jetzt noch keinen Fehler gefunden", despite "until now" being the literal translation of "bis jetzt".

Ich habe bis jetzt noch keinen Fehler gefunden is exactly what I wanted to say, still searching, but thanks.

Could you please connect both to a phone? :p or a tiny cheaper AMP. I havê a fiio e12 and usually lile to avoid big AMPS/dacs. I like to feel free to move around.

By less distortion do you mean cleaner, less colored, less warm than the 650? That van be good for some ans bad FPR other. I dont mind a tilt of warmness myself. For example i like the sound signature of the momentums. A bit of warmneas bit still clear. Makes music more enjoyable. For me at least.
