Review on Sennheiser HD 660 S: Ultimate Hi-Res Open Back Headphone for Audiophiles by Faun Su ᠌

Sound. He's good, but inconsistent. For 8 or even 9 years, I got used to my old AKG K701, which, to be objective, has a rise in the frequency response in the upper mids and the very top itself, due to which their sound delivery can be called emotional and bright. Although, of course, to a large extent not natural. The Sennheiser HD 600S is the complete opposite. I'll start with the pros: 1) The headphones have excellent timbre balance. Instruments, voice, etc. sound very natural. The sound has a physicality that the 701s don't have. Compared to the 660S, the 701s seem to have everything below the middle cut off. There is intelligibility, but there is no that same physicality. 2) They are not demanding to gain. AKG in this regard is much more whimsical. 3) Headphones are extremely detailed and informative. 4) Can play with energy, focus and pressure. 5) Headphones do a great job with such a thing as imaging. You perfectly feel in what place of the stage this or that instrument is located. In games, this works like a compass, you can clearly imagine where exactly they will attack you from now. And now about the cons and features. Scene. It is practically absent, which is why in some compositions, due to a very "warm" middle, it becomes difficult to isolate some details of the phonogram. They are there, but you need to listen to them, because there is not enough air and space between the sounds. Innings. She is dry and neutral. Many tracks from this sound insipid and mean. In addition, the headphones immediately show you which recording is bad and which is good. And now we are not talking about mp3 vs Lossless, in 660S you will immediately hear the difference between these formats. It's about how the record was mixed in the studio. If the sound engineer didn't notice somewhere and forgot to clean up, for example, the bass, it immediately becomes obvious and it becomes hard to listen to poorly produced music. This is both a minus (not all music sounds pleasant), and a plus (you hear what is included in the recording, no more and no less).
