Hi, I’ve currently owned the Sennheiser 660 S just shy of a year now.
With that being said, I told myself I would go for the Sennheiser 800 S.

Don’t get me wrong, the 800 S sounds amazing but strangely enough it just made me appreciate my 660 S even more. I feel like the 660 S has better mids and more clarity. I was also underwhelmed by the soundstage. I think I might have had too big expectations for the sound stage where it would have felt more “speakerlike”.

What do you guys think about this? Shouldn’t I be preferring the 800 S. I’m kinda confused by all of this.

​

Thanks!

    If you like the sound of 6x0s, you should go ZMF’s, not 800s… (Focal is also a decent alternative… but the timbre doesn’t feel the same)

    i love my 6xx, i daily my 800s now, but i had to eq up the bass a fair bit. Stock i think the 600 series is the best. Always disappoints me that i feel like i have to eq the 800s, sound stage is amazing though.

    I never really understood speaker-like soundstage, maybe i need better speakers
