Thank you very much for your impressions.The HD 660 S will also be a hugely educational headphone for those that own or have heard the HD 650, because the latter is such a common reference point between enthusiasts. They were both designed to have essentially the same frequency response (tonal balance), but even so, the HD 660 S clearly sounds like a different headphone anyway. An objective lesson in how frequency graphs only tell part of the "story," and I think reviewers will learn to describe timbre, impulse recovery from note to note (which affects PRaT if you've seen that acronym before), and other aspects of sound in addition to the tonal balance.
I'm excited! The art of reviewing and the progress of audio gear are linked and feed into each-other, and music & gaming audio are advancing and becoming more available to explore than ever before; this is a great time to be an enthusiast!
I have questions though....
I know that the sennheiser hd6x0 line is more about a laidback experience but still, would you say that the bass on the 660s hits harder than on the 600 and 650 and is now better fit for edm and more beat centric genres?
Despite missing a bit of bass i love the hd600s highs and mids because they can still make stuff like metal, artic monkeys, royal blood and etc still sound powefull and engaging.... do we still get thaf on the 660 or is it more a 650 type of highs and mids were everything is more polite?
Thank you...
