If you've been keeping an eye on some of my review coverage over here, then you'll know I've been on a bit of an audio journey. One of my more recent excursions has been with Sennheiser's HD 660S2 headphones, the latest in their long line of HD 600-series headphones that have been the stuff of legend for audiophiles for the last 25 years. Currently, you can get these for £464 from Amazon, knocking around £35 off their list price.
They also look and feel fantastic, with a well-made plastic construction and velvety-smooth padding around the earcups and headband. The HD 660S2 carries a classy look to it, especialyl with the bronze-coloured logo plates, too. They're simple, but effective. At 260g, they also make for some pretty lightweight cans, although I had an issue with the tighter clamping force. This should reduce over time, but it's just worth noting if you aren't used to a tight fit out of the box.
The big thing to note here is that the HD 660S2 have quite a high impedance, meaning they need a lot of power to run - 300 ohms to be exact. When you get up to this level, you need a DAC in order to get the HD 660S2 running. My DAC of choice is the Chord Mojo 2, whose pair of headphone jacks offer a combined 600 ohms of power, meaning it can comfortably deal with two pairs of the HD 660S2.
It may only be a small discount, but the fact is that the HD 660S2 are an amazing set of headphones for the money, and if you're interested in getting a sublime listening experience, it doesn't get much better than this.Eurogamer welcomes videogamers of all types, so sign in and join our community!
