Your HD 660S

The HD 660S retains all the virtues of its legendary predecessor, the HD 650, but also represents a decisive step forward technology-wise. Thanks to advanced simulation possibilities, our engineers were able to further optimize the magnet system and the shape of the diaphragm.  In terms of sound, the HD 660S sets a new benchmark in its class and masters the balancing act between perfect control and fascinating musicality in a playful way.
