We have in fact performed a facelift on a number of models. As many of you know, the HD 600 series (and the HD 580 before it) have been continuously produced for over 20 years. It was time to make new manufacturing molds! So, in fact, there are aesthetic "modernizations" for each of our current production models in this series, with the same quality sound they are renowned for. New Desktop photos, anyone?

Well, I think I’ve changed my mind about the new design - they look great! And at last, confirmation that the persistent rumours and reports (often from Sennheiser reps) that the HD 600 and HD 650 would be discounted are false. Thank goodness for that! Bravo Sennheiser!

And whilst I have your attention can I ask (purely as a matter of academic interest), where any of the old style 6 series ever made (I mean manufactured rather than assembled) in Romania? I’m presuming that all of the models with the old moulds came from Ireland (i.e. were manufactured and also possibly assembled there) regardless of what it says on the box?

Hi, when can we expect those new models to be available?

@Sennheiser

When the new HD660s are going to hit the EE market?

 

[BrunoArrais]

I think the new model is now available at least on Sennheiser Online store. I noticed that they updated the Article number (508826)

Official Sennheiser rep answered my mail telling that it will hit retailers at about the end of the month.

Thomann has the 2019 version of the HD600 and the HD660s already in stock.

 

[Ichos]

Well they one of the grandest retailers....

Love the new look of the HD600!

@Sennheiser are the new parts interchangeable with the older style, ie. Could I replace the headband on the older model HD650 with the newer one?

Thanks for the info. Order placed with Thomann, at a good price too!

Has anyone ever made a comparison between the 660s and Mr. Speaker Aeon open. I just picked up my first Sennheiser headphone today (598 CS) to get by until I narrow down my quest.

I received my 660's yesterday.

They are the original 508231 style Romania manufacture, and they're quite impressive! These are the liveliest Sennheiser cans I've ever experienced.

As I'm typing I'm enjoying the Gary Moore box set.

One of my favourite albums of all time sounding exceptional with 660S.

Enjoy! The liveliness will settle down just a little bit as the pads break in but the improved speed and separation will of course remain.

The HD 660S was originally made in Ireland. It was released about a year and a half before this update. I think they shipped the mold to Romania for a few runs before retiring it.

Did you get to hear yours yet?
