Sennheiser's audiophile open-back HD 600-series lineup has a new flagship, which promises better bass and a smoother overall sound.
Sennheiser has updated its fan-favorite open-back HD 600 series with a new flagship, the $600 HD 660S2, which will be available for pre-order globally from February 7, 2023, and will go on sale February 21, 2023. The company says the HD 660S2 offer enhanced sub-bass tuning and greater sensitivity across all frequencies.
It has been just over five years since Sennheiser released the HD 660S, and at least from a design perspective, not much has changed. Designed in Germany and hand-built in Ireland, the 660S2 look nearly identical, with the same plushly cushioned headband and earcups, the same folding hinges, and the same acoustic metal mesh grilles on the outside. They both weigh 260 grams . Save for a new bronze accent color, it can be hard to tell the two models apart.
A look at the specs further reveals where the two models diverge. The HD 660S2 has a slightly wider frequency range, moving from a low of 8Hz to a high of 41,500Hz, whereas the 660S only made it down to 9Hz. This is presumably where people will hear a difference in bass response. Sennheiser has also abandoned the 660S’s lower 150 ohm impedance for a 300 ohm rating, which the company uses in its other 600-series .
