HD600 👍+
yes,top of them price=quality
The frequency response graph is the measurement result in my recording system, I think I’d show it although it’s not exactly the same as what we hear with our ears. But by comparing other Demos on this channel, we can still find some RELATIVE differences. I will also continue to improve my recording methods. Hope you enjoy these Demos.
Dude. Im only on second minute, and i must say it's best demo on these headphones i've heard. It actually translates how different they are at soundstage. Nice stuff.
Thank you for putting this together. I'm going to give it another round with tubes as well.
Great video! We all appreciated your effort in creating this video.
I'm listening to this through my Sennheiser HD560s. To me the HD800s sounds the nicest. It brings out some high-end detail without sounding very colored like the HE1000 v2 which has some extreme peaks and dips in the frequency curve.
Me too 560s. Thought HE1000 sounded way better than the 800s though, lot more clarity withought being agresively bright. For Classic and rock (#3) i did found 800s better than all 6´s and the while those were better in #1 and #2.
the hd800s sound really nice on the he1000 v2 too
@@jstevo1349That's interesting. Too me the HE1000 V2 has some weird peaks and dips that sound unnatural in this demo. For instance at 11:59 when they switch from the HD660S2 to the HE1000 V2 the cymbals sound ear piercing to me, very unpleasant. But maybe it's because of how it's recorded, I haven't heard this headphone in the real world myself. The HD560s I'm using is pretty flat and neutral sounding though.
@@MacXpert74 i have found that when i first got them they were peaky and but it was consistent across the treble. however i was coming from focal clears which are a little duller to begin with and over time ive come to appreciate the detail and clarity these bring more
HE1000 comes across very different irl, I must say. Sounds very thin here, which is not at all the case with them on your head.
Technically speaking for me HD600 and HD800S sound better on a warmer system (iFi Pro iCAN Signature as amp, first Tube mode, 10Hz XBass level) and HD650, 660S, 660S2 on a neutral one (Violectric v550 Pro) no matter what DAC I use. I also have HD490 Pro (plus version, just bought) and HD560S. However, I can't say which of them I like the most, each of them has their own charm, character and music representation.
To me there is no bad sounding headphones among them,with the right equipment matching they will all sound amazing.Thanks for your harwork mate.Cheers.
Thank You! Really help dispel prejudices!😊
Thank You!
Amazing job! ❤
Well done, my friend!
HD660S2 👍+
Amazing channel!
Listening to this from my HD800S, freaking love them!
amazing video
This is an amazing comparison, thank you! It could be even better if you add original tracks somewhere in between the headphones recordings. Anyway it's great and gives a good representation how these headphones are differ from each other 👍🏻
Thank you! All the tracks are based on my recording environment rather than real human ears, so I can't 100% guarantee that the one that is close to the original tracks will also be close to the original tracks when listening with our ears. I'm a little worried that it might mislead the audience, so I did not add original tracks😅
@@kanou654 al contrario, tener la pista original nos da una referencia de que tanto cada audifono modifica el sonido original. gracias por hacer de un video tan " simple " tan profesional.
@@davinson31 If my microphones are brighter than human ears, then the darker headphones will be closer to the original track
@@kanou654Tienes razón, no habia pensado en la respuesta de frecuencia del micrófono. jeje de todos modos gracias por la aclaración y como antes te dije gracias por hacer de algo tan simple algo tan profesional. Saludos
*❤HD 650 gives relaxed feeling!*
HD800S 👍+
Sennheiser HE-1 👍
HD 600 and Fiio R9, a pretty heavenly combination, an intimate but wonderful sound full of details and dynamics. I have heard a lot of people complain about the bass of the HD600 because for me they are perfect, the bass is natural, at least in my case, the source is very important to get the most out of these headphones.
I love 650 they got live spirit
Thank you that was so good
Another thing worth mentioning is that the 600 headphones never becomes annoying, even at high volumes, because it has a veiled sound. It's as if everything is EQ'd below zero. In contrast, the 660S (and 660S2) can become fatiguing after long listening sessions because they bring too many frequencies forward.
HD660s2 WoW amazing...
hd600 and 800s sounds more airy and spacious, more transparent... I like them more
I tested audeze LCD 2C today vs Sennheiser HD660S2. They were so close, I was surprised how smooth and enjoyable sennheiser was. I was also surprised how comfy audeze was despite the weight.
Would love same comparison between open back and closed back. Throw in some HD820 to the mix.
The 800s definitely have the most sparkle but from what I can hear I prefer the 660s2. I also prefer the cut in the 3-4k range compared to the 600 and 650.
I have the HD600! Great headphones!
HD650 👍+
HD 600 and HD 660 the best for me.
600 sounds neat like in a studio room, 660 sounds closer like on a live chamber stage among performers, HiFi sounds like on a chamber stage auditorium, 650 sounds presented like in concert stadium, 800 sounds like in an concert hall
very interesting. There is a lot of information, such as triangle strikes, revealed in the 6k and 8k peaks of the 800s that are almost non existent in the other three earphones. something is not right with the S2s replay of vocals... too recessed for my taste... but its bass is great.
Listening to this comparison with my HD560s
The hifiman is terribly sharp, I was curious about the planar but that totally discouraged comparison, they are very bright.
Listen to the vocals from HD660S2, they sound like real people lol! Even in my tests, its amazing to listen to HD660S2's vocals because they are like real people in front of you.
With slow music that don't have many instruments, very hard to differentiate or make a good choice between these
The 660S2 "looks" like de frequency response of the new 490PRO.
Basically if you want a more intimate vocal performance then get the 650 or 600. If you want a wider soundstage where the vocal is less intimate then get the 660s2. I personally don’t like my artists singing to me as if they were right beside me. I’d choose the 660s2. But of course, the 800’s are best overall.
Hear someone press a button on my left ear at 0:28 ish. Nice stuff
HD600 handsome❤
What the heck… the he1000v2 came out of nowhere and it sounded so bad 😅.
Based on this sound demo, s2 is the most natural sounding
HD800S is the best one. Nicest clarity and range. The HD600 follows because it also have the nice clarity and all around sound. The HD660S2 after that. It has the most sub-bass which is nice.
But don't know if I can say it beats the HD600 because of it. Because if you EQ the sub-bass a little on the HD600 I am sure you can at least reach the default state of 660S2.
Given the prices of all of them The HD600 is the winner. The HD800S is heading towards "end game".
The actual reality though is they all sound like Sennheiser and differ very little. Closing my eyes and I couldn't really even tell when it switched to the other headphones.
Ironically I am listening with Senn 560s. I own so many Sennheiser headphones.
This time I went for Sony MDR-MV1 to try and have a different sound signature. Can't just buy more of the "same' all the time. MV1 has a lot more bass than any of these despite also being open back. They are made for studio mixing of spatial audio. So they supposed to be great for Atmos, 360 and virtual surround pin pointing and so on. I guess I will find out when I test them out.
The MDR-MV1 is in the higher end so basically more than HD600 in pricing. Doesn't mean they are better. Just that they are not some kind of cheap afterthought headphones. Here's hoping they knocked it out of the park for movie and gaming.
I am not an "audiophile MUSIC" listener. I don't care about that. I care only about 7.1, Atmos, 360 and spatial audio for movies and gaming and even in music.
Can U EQ , Speed, Imaging, Soundstage, Resolution from 660s2 to 600 ? i dont think so.
Nice
Yes, I can hear the difference. But which ones are better? I won't undertake to judge. All headphones are great. I would like any of them, but I don't have that much money.
I think 660 may be the safest choice for some low quality albums
what is a good set for people that like a lot of bass and sub bass and listen to more bass heavy music ? so hard to find good info on this subject.
None of them have bass boost... I think you should try other brands
@@kanou654 obviously thats why Im asking for other brands ...
hifiman edition xs has a decent amount of bass
@@floridamandan265 Beyerdynamic has good bass, in general I would go for a closed set of headphones, as those often have better bass reproduction.
Fostex TH900 and on a budget Sony MDR 1Am2.
Ха! Я думал, я один тещу 660S
2 на Сайлент хилле))))
I get a somewhat dry sound on the 600 and 650, which I have heard from many people as well, for me the 660s2 sound the best, I think the best headphone by sennheiser. I honestly like my music to sound a little thick, not flat, which I why I don't like the 600's and 650's
Which model of Sennheiser HD series headset should I choose to comfortably hear my opponents and listen to music while playing FPS games? My budget is $500. I've used the HD 700 before and it was great in games. HD 800 series is very expensive, please do not recommend.
560s, is probably the best for games. clearer top end, lower subbass, comfort and better soundstage than the 600. 490 pro is more or less a fancier 560s that's meant to replace the 600 in some ways.
650 nice
HD 600 with a sub ;-)
Para mi el hd 650 insuperables, al 800 lo siento muy brillante, pero los planar magnetics jejeje no dan la talla
Is it ok if I don't hear the difference. He1000 only is different
That's why I added it 🤣
I like this vedio😊😊😊😊
S2 sounds muddy, 800s and 600 are my favorits, 650 have the most relaxed sound
HD600 wins for me.
HD650 vocals is more enjoyable than the others flat sounding tuning HD headphones in the range.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. U probably can't tell the difference in a blind test.
@@bnktopaOk boomer
👌
660s2 is greatest for me
First song: 660S2 has such better sub bass compared to 650. The 800 sounds somehow a bit sharp.
Fourth song: Feels like the 600 and the 800 are made for music like this. 660S2 does not sounds so clean and neutral. 650 sounds a bit like you hear it in a tunnel. He1000 V2 are on another level here.
The HD800s has more detail!!! I own a HD660S.
Seems like the mics you're using are a restraining factor. From these recordings there's no difference between the headphones. They all sound absolutely the same on my studio monitors.
For me they don’t sound the same, the HD600 is the best because it is the most neutral and true to the recording
@@totizedger I'm talking about the recordings, not the headphones, which I know sound different from each other
@@marcusamaral686I’m also talking about the recordings where they for me all sound different at least on my monitors with the 660S2 being the worst
@@totizedger I'm sorry, but anyone with good speakers/monitors will be able to see that these are excellent recordings, but there is ZERO difference between them when the headphones being tested are shifted. My guess was the microphone, but it may be something else.
good lord, what are you listening to this video through? There are very large differences, and I'm not even using good equipment... just a Macbook Air and Tripowin Olina SE IEMs. When I listen with my Jubilee HD580 the differences are just as apparent.
first music I like 660s2&650
compare with original track
My thoughts: 660s2 has better bass extension and more.. modern sound? But compared to the 600 feels less natural. 800s is a bit bright but mostly sharp cymbal type sounds. 650 is just the 600 but smoothed over and made more mellow. HE1000.. is.. awful on this recording, hopefully it doesn't sound like that. No air except a huge 10k peak. My Sundara is nothing like that thankfully. Listened on HD600.
I measured the HE1000 with my own ears, the 10k peak is still there and raise more
@@kanou654 Wow, that's impressively bad at that price point. Very strange. Sundara and XS is far better sounding and also cheaper.. or... 600. Love mine, cohesive is the best word to describe them. They aren't the best technically but everything sounds cohesive.
HD660S2... finally, a neutral sounding headphones. HD600 distort a lot. HD800S very fast but somewhat unnatural. HD650... seems like the capturing setup issues with phase response.
650 >600>660>800 for me (the HE sounds very different so I won't include it in this comparison)
HD600 +++
660s2 is most natural.
All seem to be a lttle on the bright side ,i think i prefer the rolled off sound of my AKG's .
650 are best ever headphones mass produced by human
false, focal elex
T60RP - Argon
@@artureff3046can’t really call modified cans “mass produced”
錄音品質真的又好又平衡，比中國的那些ytb好多了
hd800分離度跟解析度有，高音也不會像其他同牌子的悶
其他幾支屬660s2平均一點，優勢在於音場沒有像其他兩支那麼集中，調音各有千秋
另外為何hifiman這支在此影片中表現如此差勁?有點詭異
真的 瞬間知道自己比較喜歡哪支

650
Listening on my Audeze Maxwells and they sound better than all of them lol
HD650. Together with DT990 Pro most used headphones for mixing in professional studios.
I have Sennheiser HD650 and Sennheiser HD800. To be honest with you most of these headphones from youtube videos when comparing Sennheiser lines sound pretty the same to my ears. You have to put these headphones into the real audio chain with great to expensive gears to really hear the real differences between them with your own ears, do not judge these headphones seriously from youtube audio videos like this, audio videos make HD800s inferiors to other HD6xx lines, no. Even at my home I can hear Sennheiser HD650 and HD800 have similar sound signature but there are a few differences like HD650 sounds like in your hear or near your head and HD800 still carries a lot of HD650 sound but with a huge distance, more details, clarity, better bass control on higher resolution and speed. Sennheiser engineers really tune their reference headphones alike each other, like 70-80% but with up or down db different. To my preference, HD800/HD800s are clearly superior to other Sennheiser headphone. The HD600-650 win just only about their slow timbre and bigger midrange sound than HD800/800s, these make them sounds like more romantic, smoother than HD800 but not as real as HD800. The rest HD800/800s win.
they all sound the same
I guess my old ears are too worn out to hear a whole lot of difference. If I didn't own any of these, I'd just buy the least expensive pair.
HiFi enthusiast: HDxxx is my favourite. Sounds soooo much better.
everyone else: They all sound the same. It's a joke, isn't it?
would be amazing to have more different reference sounds that capture lower frequencies and more wide sounds, like electronic music.Tthat's a great list of headphones you're sharing these opportunity to people check they favourites
ALL the same!
HD600 is awful headphones sold them in one week. HD800 in 2 weeks.
i own 600, 650 and 660s2, s2 is the worst by far, pure trash, 650 is just bad, 600 is the greatest of all time, (I used to own 660s and returned it, even though it is bad, still it was noticeably better than 660s2).
Yes, nothing beats the vocals on the HD600 but the bass on the s2??
s2 is just terrible headphones, avoid at all cost, something is seriously wrong and other people have mentioned it multiple times, if you ask me even HD 280 is 100 times better than s2, bass is ok but overall there are issues with the sound@@tibetkl
@@michaelsi6770 it’s not terrible. I had it for a few months. However the HD600 can be better of course. It doesn’t make the s2 terrible. I returned it though, since the HD490 released and I will try that probably.
idk, i dont trust Sennheiser anymore, at least I dont want to buy their new stuff unless everybody says it's great, I am gonna buy Sony MV1, everybody said that's it sounds good and asian guys are going crazy about it, Senn is on the wrong track, I also had HD 560s and did not like it, it sounded cold and distant, I returned it, all great Senns are made long time ago, HD 600, HD 25, HD 280, only recent HD 26 is truly great, but recent HD 300 is bad overall, the only good recent headphones from Senn are legendary Neumann NDH 20 which are the best thing money can buy if you can handle it's pressure on your skull, but again NDH 30 was terrible.............resume nobody should trust Senn anymore@@tibetkl
@@michaelsi6770 You must have got a bad apple. I prefer the sound of the s2 to any other in the 600 line, and so does many others.
garbage music and acoustic quality to test preproduction with. use acoustic music as minimum, or classical orchestra as best. else you waste brain cycles for nothing.
