Let me introduce you to a comparison of Sennheiser HD 660 S vs Sennheiser HD 650. These devices have an over-ear wearing style and can be used only with a wire. Both models are open back.
Features
Sennheiser HD 660 S has 150 Ohm of impedance and this is exactly twice more than HD 650 does. Their frequency response is different as well. The first one works in a range between 9 Hz and 41.5 kHz and the second one — 10 Hz and 41 kHz. The sensitivity of these headphones is approximately the same, HD 660 S has 104 dB, while HD 660 has 103 dB.
Sound
The headphones Sennheiser HD 660 S allow you to have wide, expansive and superb stereo imaging and spatial imaging. Music sounds full and rich, but not particularly bright or sharp.
Sennheiser HD 650 vs Sennheiser HD 660 S has a high bass that adds a bit of muddiness to the overall sound.
Comfort and design
The wired headphones weigh the same — 260 g. They do not fold. Only the model HD 660 S has a detachable cable. An audio cable that comes with both appliances is 3 m long.
Sennheiser HD 660 has a two-tone, gray and totally black color scheme, and a nice glossy coating. The big oval cups of Sennheiser HD 660 have microfiber-like fabric inside and this is exactly what gives them a premium look.
Sennheiser HD 650 pros and cons
Pros
- Suitable for low-intensity, physical activity
- Has high-tech styling
- Impressive levels of detail and clarity
Cons
- The metal frame of its headband is connected to the earcup by a fragile-looking joint that is susceptible to breaking under some physical stress
- Treble has a distinct lack of brightness, this is most noticeable on vocals
Sennheiser HD 660 S pros and cons
Pros
- The cups are quite large and suitable for most ear sizes and shapes
- Perfect for movies, to get closer to the experience of being surrounded by speakers rather than one where the audio is “in your head”
- You get a 1/4 Adapter (6,35 mm)
- The open-back design makes the appliance breathable
Cons
- Can feel too tight on some heads
- No hard case or pouch to carry the headphones in
