About this deal

There’s enough clarity to separate the rolling waves of guitar distortion and clattering drums, and even the brash, overdriven drum and bass of Current Value’s Bigger Picture manages to bounce along excitedly without ever veering too far into harshness.

The change in pads added a noticeable bump in the midbass, along with some subtle improvements to the bass extension. Due to their open-back and ear pad design, these headphones have near perfect consistency in delivering their bass. The HD 660S’ packaging is definitely on the more minimalistic side, but it does include just about everything you need to start listening. But you won't find anywhere near this level of service from them, and I'll be sure to keep Holburn in mind for the future.Taking the design DNA of its classic, open-backed trio of headphones – the legendary HD 580 Precision, HD 600 and HD 650 – Sennheiser is reanimating the old generation by using the latest driver technology. If the 650 is the only one with this smooth signature of the HD6xx line up to the 800s, sennheiser should not discontinue the 650. While they are stable on the head due to their tight fit, these headphones shouldn’t be used for sports.

However, the HD 660 S are better-built, deliver a slightly more neutral mid-range, and provide superior stereo imaging performance. The midbass delivers enough punch to prevent HD660S from feeling “bass lite,” but hip-hop and electronic music in particular will feel a little empty without the low end extension.The Sennheiser marketing department tells us the following: The new model builds on the legacy of the HD 650, surpassing the exceptional performance of its predecessor with a new and improved transducer design that delivers lower harmonic distortion for an even more natural, lifelike audio experience.

if some people can comment on the results they get with HD600 or 650 with Mojo, you are welcome, as the reply from Musikverein lets me believe it’s maybe not ideal).

The metal headband does perhaps clamp the earpieces a little too firmly around the head, but we found that eased off over the month or so we spent with them.
