Sennheiser HD660S... Finally a successor for the HD650?

Great job they did in Romania on my hd660s

The Meze Empyrean is made there too (obviously different company) and probably the best built headphone in existence. Most people love the sound, some think it's just fine, but I haven't heard one single complaint about the build quality.

Mine are arriving tomorrow. I’m hoping and praying that they are the old version made in Ireland!
Holy carp, I can't believe I'm reading this. What had you pull the trigger in the end???

The new styling (which I don’t like) and the price hike. Decided it was now or never.
Well, I don’t want to overhype you, and of course I don’t know your tastes as well as you yourself, but I hope you enjoy it!

Looks just like the 660s I received in the old box. Is it just me or does the plastic look cheaper, flimsier than on the HD-650? You can even see some lines, imperfections running perpendicular to the headband. Also, the grills are small than the HD-650.

Like this you mean? (See next post) I’ve just received these - haven’t even plugged them in yet, but I looked at the headband and remembered somebody had said something about this. It could also be my imagination but I see moulding imperfections on the yolk as well (compared to the older 650 600 580 that I have)......

They are the old style but made in Romania. I’ll give them a listen later on.
