Google search turns up nothing. Do you have a link for info?HD660S*
Yes, it's real from what I've read.

One thing I noticed is that companies finally realized there is a gigantic empty space at 500~1000 dollar range. Nighthawk and HD700 are just not going to cut it, so it is good to see several headphones are priced at 600 dollars to feel the gap.
1990 Pros?Firstly thank you very much for all the insightful impressions.
I absolutely agree with what you wrote right there - I think there is a colossal open space in the 500 to 1000 dollar range and I'm glad companies are finally catching onto it, especially with headphones that seem to punch way over their asking price. While that may not the most interesting price bracket for a lot of the attendees and public in general, it is the one I currently find most interesting myself and I think it's a market that needs to be targeted; I'm very glad to see it finally happening.
That said, what I'm looking the most forward to is some sort of comparison between the new offerings within that range - 1. LCD2C. 2. The AEON (mostly the opens, but also the closed). 3. the Nightowl/Nighthawks (which I still find relevant as they are, imo, gorgeous sounding headphones), 4. the Elear (which I'm sure will be able to be found for around 600-700 new very soon).
I might be missing something else here but those are the ones I'd be super keen to see people comment on.
1990 Pros?
HD660S.
They can compete with the Aeon (closed). I own the Aeon and tried the DT1990s for a few days. They actually have a fairly similar tonality and presentation in that they sound great with most genres of music. Plus, they've mostly fixed the "Beyer burn" on the 1990. Overall, they're in the same caliber of headphones and I'd be happy with either. If I had to choose, I'd stick with the Aeon given its isolation which is very important for me.Very true, and the Amiron Home. Thank you for the reminder, I admittedly tend to forget about those two as I've never been a fan of Beyerdynamic's open headphones for pleasure listening but most reviews seem to be very positive - I really don't know if, despite them being widely liked, those two can compete with the likes of the AEON, Elear and LCD2 but maybe I'm wrong, would love to know.
@Sennheiser, how can you guys hide this can? The HD600/650 is the can that made your brand famous on this and many other sites. I feel that there is something wrong here. Just saying.....HD660S.

Where are the bells and whistles?
