So I guess Sennheiser dumped all its old 650 stock on Massdrop for the 6XX, to make way for this?

When I see an HD8XX on Massdrop, I'll start saving for the 620

HD8xx would be a sold out when that happened

Hmmm.... Definitely keeping an eye on this. I love my HD650s and if these are real and a legit improvement, they will be my next Sennheiser purchase.

Not a chance. There's no way in hell they'd kill off a cash cow like the HD 650.

They're just putting some bright red lipstick on it and calling it 'new and improved'! JK!!

Many people stopped the headphone hunt with the 650 and I don't blame them.

from that pic the back of the driver is the same like the one in the HD700

Wow. These look really impressive.

"The HD 660 S features a new transducer design developed by Sennheiser. This results in improved control of the diaphragm movements thanks to a specially manufactured precision stainless steel fabric, which is adapted to the contour of the diaphragm. Extremely light aluminum voice coils ensure the highest impulse fidelity. The transducers are carefully selected and paired by hand to ensure consistently narrow (±1 dB) tolerances."

But I'm verrrry curious to hear how this new driver sounds. I can only pray that it's not a repeat of the HD 700 fiasco.

Have to give credit where credit's due. When Sennheiser initially announces something, you don't wait two years for it to materialize.

$679? That can't be right. Is that Canadian dollars?

They swapped the acoustic silk for a stainless steel fabric? Will Metallica sound better now?
