Also I can't find where I can purchase them?
Somebody else said the HD600 had more treble and upper midrange than HD660s. And another 2 people had the same opinion as you. And the grapsh show the same highs as HD650... I'm still confused.To me, it sounded a lot like the bass and lower midrange of the HD650 with the upper midrange and treble of the HD600; strictly in terms of quantity.
I'm not denying there's a big improvement, because there is. I just disagree that the improvement is as big as you are saying. It still sounds like a HD6xx series headphone.Let me tell you the improvement is so big, we all would pay much more than 500 usd to get this, if it wasn't just another Sennheiser HD6... To my ears it is the best bargain in real high end headphones since very long.
Does this seem like a fair summary to date:
If you have 650's and really like them you will most likely prefer 660's.
If you have 600's and really like them you might prefer the 660's. On the other hand you might not.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.Your assessment sounds spot on.
I'll stick with my 600 for now (or the next couple of decades)
Smooth but no veil/ roll off, nothing exaggerated, nothing missing. Pretty perfect at least in tone,
Listening to both the other day I can tell you categorically that my 600 sound veiled compared to my 660s.So the HD660s are rolled off and veiled then compared to the HD600? Some say yes, some say no... I guess I'll see when I try them... Well, even if they aren't as bright as HD600, ar least a bit brighter than HD650 and it's still an improvement.
The HD600/650 don't sound veiled, they don't have the most detailed sound reproduction. The HD660S is just more detailed. If you don't need that, keep the old guys, if you want the details back, go grab the HD660S. It is that easy. Then lower the clamping force to your liking and you have one of the most comfortable cans that I can imagine on your head. They get better by the hour after your purchase then. Had them on for 5 hours straight today, no fatigue at all.Listening to both the other day I can tell you categorically that my 600 sound veiled compared to my 660s.
We sometimes listen to music with headphones rather than speakers so I wanted something that sounded close to my HD600s.
They definitely do sound very similar and my HD600s are 14 years old, maybe more so that could be my pair being tired!
I would like to read this comparison as well. I have the DT1990’s and they hit all the right buttons in $500-$800 dollar price range to my ears. If the HD660’s are moving from the typical smooth Sennheiser sound signature to more dynamic one I think that would be plus to me.Seeing you have both the HD660s and DT1990, mind to do are short comparison?
