Good, not great
The bass is lacking. I really feel like something is missing.

Beautiful music!
I'm totally satisfied with the headphone. Well built and comfortable to wear. The vivid sound stage and meticulous details of replayed music are highly enjoyable. Not strong in dynamics but the beautiful music, particularly of jazz and vocalist, more than makes up for it.

Cool upgrade from my HD650 pair
Compared to my old HD650 pair these new 660S2 cans are more appealing - the old ones were great but boring, these have some cool style and the accurate sub bass will help mixing, these are ustill neutral and flat enough to use seriously for judging the tonal characteristics of a mix

Supreme Quality
I am very happy with this purchase. Supremely comfortable to wear, very nice/quality engineering produces a high fidelity sound experience... I particularly appreciate Sennheiser following up with the sound samples via email, whereby I received a 'guided tour' of the capabilities built into these headphones... Supreme quality - excellent sound reproduction - no regrets, would buy again...

Way better than expected
I bought the 660S2 HP expecting mid level performance in this day and age of 3K to 6K top of the line HP. Was very surprised when I A/B'd this set with Hifiman Susvaras. Bass response was very good; attack and decay was better in the Sennheisers vs the Susvara. The Sennheisers were considerably warmer sounding than the Susvara, but in a musical way, not muddy or smearing. The Susvara has a bit more "air" and inner detail, but not 6K worth. I did not experience a broad sound field with either HP. Subtle detail like the bells in John Klemmers Touch were a bit more evident in the Susvara but still very much present in the 660s. Driving the Sennheisers was considerably easier than the Susvaras as has been noted elsewhere, but cabling is less critical with the more sensitive Sennheiser's higher 300 ohm impedance; wire gage makes less of a difference if you have longer wire runs as opposed to the low sensitivity 60 ohm Susvara. I found I had to crank my class A HP amp up full volume with the Susvara leaving little headroom. The Sennheisers were easily driven with that amp with plenty of headroom. I generally I was very surprised at how good the Sennhesiers are, and they are probably 80 to 90% of the performance of the Hifiman product, some may find them overall better.

Sennheiser knows what they are doing, Bravo!
Solid construction. you can feel the quality. Don't let the plastic deter you from buying these. The clamping force is a little much, but I have a large head. I used my headphone holder, with a couple of folded cloths, to widen the clamping and it now fits perfect. You can wear these all day with no ear fatigue or head pain. The sound is amazing. The sub bass is present without being muddy. I EQ with my HD600 but the 660S2 does not need it. They pair will with my Schiit Valhalla 2 tube amp. Not only is this an upgrade to the HD600 (for me), but the 660S2 stands on its own as a great, open-back headphone

Awesome Buy
Bought this as an early Christmas gift for myself and was not disappointed by it one bit. Definitely worth the buy.

Novice+ Audiophile Experience
I just purchased my HD660S2 on Black Friday, upgrading from Sennheiser PXC 550 II. I'm a lifetime music lover that just in recent years got interested in hires lossless music. The 660s2 along with Questyle M15i DAC using 4.4mm balanced output is a tremendous sound quality difference with Qobuz music. I can hear a lot of little nuances in the music that wasn't noticeable previously. It was a great investment that I had on my radar for a few years.

Break in is not an option
Pushing them with a McIntosh 7200 and honestly my first hour was pure buyer’s remorse. After 10 hours not so muffled but hoping for more clarity especially in the treble range. Bass is not the problem. So hopefully more time may help but we’ll see. You’ll need an extension if you’re going to be couch lounging. What’s with the useless black bag? Really?

Best one so far
I went to these from some DT 990 Pro's 250ohm. and lemme tell you something. its been about 2 months but im still sold that these will be my forever headphones. I have never felt that way about headphones. They sound FULL, very full. Super detailed and clean, and pretty good sub bass. I have them paired with a FiiO k5 pro

Not the upgrade it is purported to be
Touted as the upgrade to the HD 650, but it's more like the upgrade to the HD 58X from Drop. Doesn't have any of the midrange magic of the 6 series, has meaningfully brighter and harsher treble, and is significantly more expensive. Looks incredible (love the colorway) but sonically it's a miss for me across the board.

They are better
Nearly every review I have read and YouTube video I have watched has told me that the 600’s and 650’s are superior to the newer 660s2’s despite their age, so I believed them and bought some 650’s. Yes they are exceptional cans and deserve their legendary status, but curiosity got the better of me and decided to try the 660s2’s. Granted I’m no expert, but I think the 660s2’s are better headphones in every single department. Ever so slightly more comfortable, a smidge more bass, a tad more detail, a bit wider soundstage and a more modern, stylish paint job. I think they are a step forward, not by much, but how could they be? Sennheiser shot themselves in the foot all those years ago by setting the bar so high.

Awesome upgrade after 20y
Sound is superb. A great upgrade from HD 650. Not as amplifier dependant. Not as colored as 650. Just as detailed & vivid but more neutral overall, plus subbass which is lacking in 650.

Great sound, however
Sound quality is excellent; in fact the best so far to my personal taste. Compared to what? Compared to my other headphones which include: Sennheiser True Wireless in Ear, Sennheiser Momentum wired in ear, Bose SoundLink On-Ear, Bose QuietComfort 15 Over ear and Stax SR-L500 Mk2 (through SRM-400S amp). The difference to the STAX is most notable, having the bass that the STAX is so wowfully lacking. A few reviews in magazines have noted one significant negative point, namely that the clamping force is rather high and I can certainly confirm this. It's high enough to be sufficiently unconfortable that I am debating whether to keep these headphones or not. If Sennheiser offered slightly thinner ear pads or some other little trick to reduce the pressure then these would be 100% keepers; as is I'm not so sure. In summary: great sounding headphones let down by a simple comfort problem.

really good
amazing sound quality + comfortable ear-pads. Love that my ears can finally breathe during extended wear periods. my only complaint is they fit slightly too snug, and perhaps too little padding on the top band. Overall, very satisfied. Thanks
