    Oh shit they made them 300 ohms and boosted the subbass with a resonance frequency drop to 70 hz, that is exciting. If they didnt go overboard with the subbass boost these are gonna be true contenders. Solderdude posted a long time ago on ASR about a revised version of the 660s, didnt think it would be that drastic!

    "Wired Audiophile Stereo Headphones with Deep Sub Bass, Optimized Surround, Transducer Airflow, Vented Magnet System and Voice Coil" .... did ChatGPT have a hand in creating that lovely piece of audiophile description?

    HD600 is already not far off from Harman curve everywhere above 300hz. Many folks could use some extra sub, but wouldn't want the low mid dip of Harman. I don't think that would happen on the 660S2 based on its physical attributes. It would take some dramatic differences in driver damping and venting to create that sort of curve, and I don't see that in the pics. Probably sounds pretty good.

    I suspect this’ll be at least 650/600 good aside from the price. I would blind buy at $300 but expect itll be $500 like original 660S.

    Is it still based on the 700 driver or is that one of the many unknowns?

    @Philimon you're more optimistic than I, sigh. I find it hard to believe it will be 6X0 good. I expect this to be another ill-thought-out money grab, but what the hell do I know, maybe Senn will pull a rabbit out and give us a technical performer with the tone and timbre and magic of the original series, the hp that we've all been hoping for.

    @caute Partly money grab for sure. Senn reps see assholes flipping vintage HD600 for $600 on HF. No brainer for Senn to tap that market.

    Like the subbass boost, dislike the treble is still pretty similar. Definitely an improvement over the OG 660S but still would grab 650 over this.

    IIRC its 660S driver still but with 650's voice coil.

    Hope they fixed the 660S! FR suggests more bass (good), hard to say mid-high. Unveiled feel? MOAR presence? Better soundstage?

    Good to see new cans from them :)
