Saw this on r/headphones. They're emphasizing on bass so I assume this could be first Sennheiser open-back headphones with proper bass.

It has better bass than 600 series but it could be more better.HD560S already has proper bass.
Certainly in comparison to the HD660s! I still use EQ to boost up the bass on the HD560s to Harman levels though.HD560S already has proper bass.
Anyone seen any measurements for the HD660S2?
I have 58X and the 600 series as well (600 and 6xx) and in my experience not a significant lot is lost to sound quality. 58X is a very decent headphone. Enjoy!I am not sure how much SQ is lost to other 6 series phones but I certainly would recommend the 58X but perhaps not as an only Headphone.
One thing worth mentioning is clamping force which was considerable! A little easing on the metal parts of the headband easily and quickly solved this though. Now very comfortable.
Can't wait for measurements on 660s2, it will be exciting to see, I have a feeling there will come an updated HD 800s in the near future as well.
Out of curiosity who did that measurement, where did you get it from?
I wonder what the RRP will be on the HD660S2? The HD660S are £450 in the UK, but they are frequently available from the Sennheiser Outlet for £270... https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-UK/p/hd-660-s-refurbished/cl80a2wm866rw0bw5fnay84gh/
I paid £262 in April 2020 for mine which were in mint condition and indistinguishable from new (still covered in protective plastics, etc.).
I don't think it's gonna be worth it, not for the HD660S nor the HD660S2.The pre-order price of HD660S2 in the UK is £499. Not cheap.
I once purchased a new HD660S from Amazon US for $331.75. With it I can hear the details in a symphony, but the bass is not sufficient to my taste.
If their claims are true and they fixthe critical points, than it will be literally instabuy for 500 pounds.I don't think it's gonna be worth it, not for the HD660S nor the HD660S2.
