Reply to comment by ThUwUsi in Got the loot boys and let me clear things up around the Sennheiser 660S2 by AdAlternative9011

Well, I think the 660S tuned by Beats/Sony describes the sound of the S2 really well. At the same time it has the classic Sennheiser flavor.

I cannot comment on S2, since I haven't heard it.

However, Beats and Sony (consumer grade) headphones do not have good reputation and are not known as good match for audiophile sound. So associating S2 with Beats and Sony is not a compliment.

That's a wildly broad statement, at least on Sony. Some of their higher end products are quite good. They may not be trendy in a sub like this, but to write anything off because it's branded Sony is revealing, and not of an honest appraisal of headphones, unless a user's experience level only hits mass market <$300 models.

Not sure what you are reading. That was exactly my statement: "Sony (consumer grade)".

Apologies if I misread - it seemed you were suggesting Sony headphones have a deservedly poor rep making any comparison to them unflattering.

And even then Sony's premium audiophile overears are much less critically acclaimed than their IEMs

I don’t understand the downvotes on my comment because it is how it feels like and I didn’t mean it in a bad way. As I said in my longer “review” the S2 feels like the most consumer oriented tuning of the whole 600 lineup at least to me and for people who listen to a wide variety of music like me it’s actually better than the others in this lineup. However for instrumental, acoustic, vocal focused very mid heavy songs I would pick the 660S over the S2 although any song with a slight bass will sound enjoyable on the S2 and this is what I meant by saying Sony/Beats tuning.
