Nobody knows…Not sure what this model really brings to the table...
That level of variation is unacceptable for such an expensive product.
I was quoting bunkball, who gave subjective impressions.I don't see these variations in the measurements. I heard two pairs and both were just worse tuned but easier to drive version of the HD600.

Seriously, how could they justify that, given that it's just a development of the 600 & 650, nothing radically new?From what I understood the revision was planned and still under development about half a year ago.
No changes from day one except the pads (which is not a real revision).
I think the HD660S is a good sounding headphone. Should be priced between € 300 and € 350 or so. When it came out it sold for € 500.-
I noticed the New Flamenco guitar player Jesse Cook uses them. One of the reviewers described R70x as boring and uninspiring (?). Others describe them as smooth, tonally correct, with good image.If one compares hd600, hd6xx, hd650, hd660s, hd560s and r70x, r70x is best in overall tonality, comfort , smoothness. r70x has angled drivers, helping in imaging further. Only gripe can be the circular opening of pads which can be a problem for some with bigger ear lobes. To me it is end game with mojo 2 and tiny eq.
I paid $299 for my HD660s last year over Amazon during the a flash sale. I got them cheaper than the 650sFrom what I understood the revision was planned and still under development about half a year ago.

This is the reason I always double or triple check with a sweep tone. If I hear those peaks and dips. That 3400 Hz slight peak could be very difficult to notice. Probably it just sounds like something going a bit high then slowly turning normal and then your hearing stops.
It's like phone reviews, where people say "this isn't much different to the last phone". Yes, you're not supposed to buy every phone a manufacturer brings out! I bought this to replace my HD 595. It's a bit better than those headphones!Seriously, how could they justify that, given that it's just a development of the 600 & 650, nothing radically new?
