Your HD 660S
The HD 660S retains all the virtues of its legendary predecessor, the HD 650, but also represents a decisive step forward technology-wise. Thanks to advanced simulation possibilities, our engineers were able to further optimize the magnet system and the shape of the diaphragm. The new transducers are meticulously measured for each headphone and are hand-selected in pairs. In terms of sound, the HD 660S sets a new benchmark in its class and masters the balancing between perfect control and fascinating musicality in a playful way. With powerful bass, seductive timbres and breathtaking clarity, the HD 660S lets you experience the pure joy of music. The Sennheiser HD 660S will inspire you.
