The company promises that this new 660 headphone will provide listeners with a “detailed yet emotionally stimulating audio experience”, thanks to improved sub-bass tuning. They believe it will be a great way for music aficionados to rediscover their favorite tunes with “renewed energy and intensity”. Hopefully, this guide has helped you say goodbye to headphone static issues. However, if you start experiencing any other headphone problems, feel free to bookmark our ultimate guide to fixing broken headphones.
I recommend pairing them with a powerful linear/neutral-sounding amplifier like the Sennheiser HDV 820 reference amp for the best sound quality. As far as the treble goes, it’s very smooth, which for the most part, helps the sound stay fatigue-free during long listening periods. That said, I personally would’ve liked to hear just a little more lift in the treble to open things up just a little bit more and add a touch more air. That said, I know some people will like the treble the way it is and consider it to be a more refined, audiophile way of doing things. I can respect that.Running through the audio band, I found the Bass to be of good quality, both deep and articulate. But I found there was just a bit too much quantity at times. The rumble of the sub-bass became a touch distracting on bass-heavy songs, at least to me. Then again, it’s not up to Beats by Dre levels which is a good thing. The difference between an entry-level audiophile headphone and an ultra-high-end model is a sonic evolution instead of a revolution.
However, if none of those happened and you’ve properly taken care of your device, then proceed with the following fixes. Regarding Tonal Balance, as I stated earlier, there is a slight V or U-shaped thing going on here, which is new for the Sennheiser 600 series. It’s interesting to hear an HD 6X0 headphone with such weight counterbalanced by the trademark smooth treble and the presence introduced in the previous HD 660. These are the long-awaited updates to the excellent value Sennheiser HD660 and Sennheiser kept a lot the same but made the tuning even more versatile.Listening to the same song on the Edition XS provided some of the air and space I was looking for on the Sennheiser, along with the impression that some instruments, like the Guitar and Piano, were more fleshed out due to the added treble detail.
Conversely, the HD 660S2 seems to be the response to that critique and, in turn, could be the furthest departure from the original HD 600 tonal balance I’ve ever experienced. This model, with its enhanced sub-bass, pushes the HD 600 series gingerly into V-shape territory, which does bring in some excitement to the sound, but to me, also takes them out of the “neutral” category to a certain extent. Detail/Dynamics Cinched storage pouch (light fabric provides mostly dust and scratch protection-there is no large display/storage box as provided with the HD600S. Sennheiser also doesn't make unnecessary upgrades and, as such, has a longer product life cycle than other companies that try to catch the flavor of the month vibe by releasing multiple models without significant improvements. However, you don't have to spend much to get great sound. Something like the budget-friendly Objective 2 amp, with its transparency and detail for home use, will blow your mind. On the other hand, if the portable clean sound on a budget is your thing, then many frugal audiophiles still swear by the Clip Mp3 Player by Sansa. Music is and always will be the show's star, but your headphones have a massive effect on sound quality. Of course, the same is true for the source you use. Assuming you are using high-resolution audio files, you will want to use an excellent source to ensure the signal is crispy clean and has enough power to drive your headphones to their full potential.
What To Think About
The DFU mode restore is the most in-depth type of restore and is usually only performed by Apple technicians and professionals. Your iPhone can communicate with iTunes without having to load up its operating system when put in DFU mode. I use 2 "sources" (listed above) for most of my listening, One for home and one for on-the-go. My home setup is an insane all-in-one Amp and DAC, and on the go, I will most likely be using my phone with an external DAC or a stand-alone DAP .
Great Deal
