Bass extension in the HD 6xx/650, same 3 kHz, extension in the upper treble AND an aluminum chassis..... Looks like we have our work cut out for us.
I think there's always going to be a subtle and unconscious bias with 600, 650/6xx owners. I've seen people legitimately criticize the 660s in favor of the former without ever actually hearing the 660s. I imagine the same will be said about the 660s2. I've been using headphones since 2001 and after listening to the lineup, I decided on the 660s. I've had it for 5 years now and I still consider it the best of the 600 series.
So its a less extended 6xx for almost double the price? This is the difference between the current headphone competition vs iem competition with the ie200 from the same company. The headphone market is kinda sad.
I absolutely love the HD660S2, definitely an upgrade to the HD600
DMS prefers the 650; Chrono, Metal571 & Zeos prefer the 660S; Andrew & Josh prefer the 600. A unique opportunity to discover which reviewer is better aligned to your personal listening preference.
do you need an amp to use the 660s2?
and my conclusion is that 560s are better sounding headphones.
my hope for 660s2 📉📉
Dms sent me 😇
Still waiting on the RME ADI 2 review????
I’m happy with my pair of 600 … I always come back to these. For casual listening and mixing.
The love this guy has for HD6xx/650 is just amazing after all those years and bunch of great and ten twenty times more expensive headphones he still keeps them and speak great about them, tells you how good HD650 really are. Thank you for your recommendation back in 2016 when you started this channel speaking about your HD650 in basically every second video haha, I love my HD650 often even without an amp and I can't believe it has been almost 7 years since I got them based on advice of some "random small youtuber" with few hundreds of subs who is now almost at 100k. Wish you good luck and keep up the good work, hope you get that silver play button soon :)
Thanks for your review. I enjoy your work. After watching this, I'll stick to my 58x.
Thank you for this, DMS. Now I know that the 6XX is, in fact, the Sennheiser I'm pulling the trigger on. Cheers from the land of Dekoni!
Great video and here's hoping your sore throat is feeling better❤️
I wanna see new product in the HD800 line next.
Just received my 660S2'S today wow what a difference from the 6XX, you need to run them on HDV820 amp factory matching makes these come to life. To put a number on it 40% improvement. Worth the addition $$.
For me HD600 is still king. Imaging not great, bass not great but there is magic in this headphone. The smooth, sweet highs are so beautiful. I hear 16kHz -19kHz on the HD600 and it is a natural sheen and air whereas the 660s sounds cold and grainy. To my ears the slight upper midrange shout on the 600 is balanced by the low mid boost and combined with highs make it, still to this day the most musical headphone I have ever tried.
Bought the S2. I heard it with a Bryston DAC and a WA23 Luna, and also listened to a 650. Preferred the S2 hands down. Thought it imaged better and had better clarity- also the 650 could get shouty in the mids. This next comment will rile the 650 fans- I’m sorry, I don’t think it scales as much as you guys thinks it does, at least to me.
I think I’m sticking with my HD600s set. I’m happy. If I want more bass I just hit the XBass on my ifi gryphon. 😎
