Hear Your Music Like Never Before

When your ears call for liquid-smooth response, supernatural speed, and effortless instrument reproduction, Sennheiser answers the call with the HD 660S2 Open-back Headphones. These audiophile-grade headphones deliver audio that’s more than crystal clear — a specialized 38mm transducer coupled with an optimized airflow system output incredible audio throughout both ends of the frequency system. Plus, however long you listen, HD 660S2 headphones will stay strong, providing killer clean audio and a comfortable listening experience thanks to its lightweight, durable design and plush velour ear cups.

Double the sub-bass

The original Sennheiser 660S headphones were favorites of many audiophiles here at Sweetwater, so they couldn’t believe their ears when they heard these new 660S2! By doubling the SPL in the sub-bass frequencies, Sennheiser improved the listening experience of not just the sub-bass range, but across the entire range of human hearing. Believe us, the effect must be heard to be believed!

New voice coil and optimized airflow system

Outside your pair of HD 660S2 headphones, you’ll find a steel mesh that perfectly complements the ventilated driver, providing pure diaphragm travel and tighter production tolerances that combine for reduced turbulence and expansive, natural sound. On the inside, an ultra-light aluminum voice coil with 300 ohms of impedance delivers ultra-quick impulse response. And the improved airflow of the 660S2 magnet’s air gap results in better reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum.

Sennheiser HD 660S2 Open-back Headphones Features:

  • Audiophile-grade headphones with liquid-smooth response and effortless instrument reproduction
  • Double the sub-bass frequencies of their predecessors makes for an improved listening experience across the entire spectrum
  • Open-back design with steel mesh over uniquely optimized airflow system makes for natural sound devoid of turbulence and distortion
  • 38mm transducer offers revealing, tack-sharp detail demanded by modern audiophiles
  • Lightweight, durable design and replaceable padded ear cups make for a comfortable listening experience for hours or minutes
  • Ultra-light aluminum voice coil with 300ohms of resistance delivers ultra-quick impulse fidelity
  • Comes with carry pouch, a 1/4-inch plug and 4.4mm balanced plug (both with 6-foot long cables), and a 1/4-inch to 3.5mm adapter

A superb addition to the Sennheiser lineup

These headphones are superb, I strongly recommend them. I own the Sennheiser HD650s and the HD660S2 easily surpass them. When EQ'd using a low shelf filter by about 5dB around 100Hz, the slam in the bass for an open-back headphone is really awesome and a massive improvement over the first generation HD660 and HD600/650. These headphones really excel at any genre of music I throw at them, whether it be classical, jazz, electronic, folk, blues, pop, rock, or alternative/indie. Somehow they sound more detailed and clear/resolving to me than the HD650s. I know this doesn't seem right based on raw FR graphs comparing the two, but the redesigned transducers and drivers seem better at detail retrieval to me. No harshness or sibilance in the treble, though. Soundstage is similar to other HD6-- models, but doesn't feel claustrophobic or narrow. Just silky smooth treble and lovely midrange for vocals with a greatly improved, tight bass response. The clamp force feels appropriate and keeps them securely on my head. I love that the included cable is shorter (1.8m) with a full-size 6.35mm gold-plated jack so I can plug it directly into my JDS Labs Atom+ DAC/Amp stack without a cumbersome adapter. To me, these headphones look and feel luxurious as well as sound superb. The bronze accents on the lovely grilles and beautiful openly-visible transducers are pleasant to look at. The velour pads and headband cushion are quite soft and comfortable. Worth the price in my opinion just for the improved detail retrieval (particularly with vocals), overall presentation, and bass extension over its predecessors in the HD6-- line. Interestingly, FR graphs show a striking similarity between the HD660S2 and the HD58Xs from Drop but these definitely sound more detailed and refined to me than my HD58Xs. These headphones easily best others in the ~$500 price range and I'd argue even sound better than some planar magnetic headphones I've tried, particularly in terms of the very refined frequency response out-of-the-box. For a dynamic driver pair of headphones, the HD660S2 are about the best you can get for the price. Sweetwater offered exceptional warranty service and customer support, so I'm confident this was a good purchase. These headphones will be my new daily drivers at my home office setup. If you are on the fence about shelling out more money for the more premium model, you really can't go wrong with this purchase. Best-in-class headphones with a relaxing just-right presentation.

The best quality headphones I've ever had.

I wore out my 660S (first generation) set and replaced them with this. This is, by a wide margin, the best fidelity headphones I've ever bought. Sounds are crystal clear and comfort is at a premium. Connectivity will leave you satisfied. If you're going to be focusing for long periods of time and just want the best sound you can get at any price point, this is the set.

From their studio-standard MD 421 II drum mic to their trusty headphones and ultra-reliable wireless systems, there are countless good reasons why the artists and engineers here at Sweetwater are quick to recommend Sennheiser products. In our personal studios, you'll find plenty of HD 280 Pro headphones, e609 Silver cab mics, and other staples, while many of us rely on EW wireless in-ear systems onstage. Our long association with Sennheiser means we constantly have their latest products in stock and in our hands, so we're ready to tell you all about them. If you're looking for Sennheiser gear, then get the information you need from people who use it - trust your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
