    …but figured since returns are free, what the hell. And if Sennheiser are going to tout this as being an upgrade, especially in the bass department, I don’t feel the least bit bad about costing them shipping if it turns out to be BS.

    It's anyway not a good timing for the S2. I'll re-consider when they will become <$300 -- perhaps 3 years later?. I do remember how my actual impression of 660S1 in 2023 differs from early criticisms. So, still giving S2 the benefit of doubt.

    His and DMSs reviews are definitely not a great start. I think the main "issue" with them is that dip at 4.5k, which is narrow enough that it might not actually be that big a deal in practice. The one thing that neither of them address which I am curious about was rather it still had the slightly metallic timbre of the 660s.

    @Raimei Templar Andrew's and Senn's 4.5khz dip reporting is likely a coupler-related artifact, only shown in 5128 (for both S1 and S2 660s). Other couplers failed to fully replicate to my knowledge.

    Did you end up getting them for the deep discount?

    Yeah came out to ~$450 USD +tx. That’s the other reason I left the order in place - don’t know if that “deal” will come up again soon or not.

    I did cancel my preorder. I'm confident my JAR650 will be plenty pleasing.
