Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
Thank you! @Jermo K and his team mare doing a great job. We're excited for you to hear it. Nothing against the HD 558 but the HD 620S will be a massive upgrade, closed-back or not. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. That was a gateway headphone for so many of us! They already are...you can...- ericpalonen

It's not possible for one headphone to accommodate all personal preferences, but we are pretty confident that we are filling a decent sized hole in the market with it's tuning and presentation. Hope you get to hear them with your own gear and ears 👍- ericpalonen

The padding has an adhesive but will still be replaceable. Based on the material spec it should last a long time. You will be able to buy a spare parts for it. The HD 620S is indeed more brilliant in the treble, that I think many will describe as "clean" as it lacks sibilance but still has bite...- ericpalonen

Indeed, swapping the stock pads for velour pads add zero acoustic benefit and drastically alter both bass response, focus, and soundstage. We'll pass the boom mic feedback along. We already have an in-line mic option for the 500 series that works with the HD 620S. Headband padding is...- ericpalonen

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
If this were any other ordinary Thursday, I'd mount it to my KU 100 and give you a video demo, but I'm in the middle of a move so it's in storage.

I do believe most listeners will find the HD 660S2 signature to be warmer and more relaxed overall, and that bass breathes really well. I do believe most HD 620S listeners will find its bass to be...- ericpalonen
