Sennheiser Deals & Offers

I got my HD201's for £12 in 2009, fine for the price but very average and got my SR850's for £18 in 2020, they're definitely leagues ahead, although current prices are higher, but that applies to everything now.

Had a pair of the Superlux 681's. Sound amazing when you do the grill mod. One of my favorite headphones ever.

After a while the pads will start disintegrating and leaving bits of black on your ears and hair. For weeks I was finding black crap everywhere. I resorted to deflaking it manually with some sellotape to try and get as much off rather than let it flake off randomly. Pain in the ass. Avoid.

Every brand has a £20 pair that just plain sucks. I've used these and some similar Philips closed backs and they're just not very good. Admittedly, I don't know a closed back pair at this price range that are good. Maybe AKG K72s? Something used, maybe? Open backs: Superlux 681 or Samson SR850 can hit £25ish and are very good sounding for the money. In Ear Monitors/Earbuds: KZ ZSN Pro X or Moondrop Chu are fantastic for £20ish. Moondrop Chu are my new go to wired IEM since they were very well received by reviewers and in my experience they sound very very nice. Good neutral-ish sound which is very rare at this price range and very comfortable which is also hard to find at this price!

Now £27. Acceding to the memory of Amazon, I bought these for mo-in-law in Feb 2010 for £11. So they’ve been around for a while. She’s not been but that’s life. And no idea what happened to the headphones.

Now out of stock

Was going to mention, alot of people do recommend some software EQ. I personally haven't tried it. https://reddit.com/r/oratory1990/w/index/list_of_presets?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! :) I have the 598SR (discontinued) and I recently changed its earpads, which in turn changed the sound signature, thankfully it improved the bass response. I've newfound appreciation for my cans thanks to the AutoEQ project.

They do sound different but hard to put my finger on it. HD660s needs to run on volume of 36, whilst the HD 599 needs only 28. So I guess it's slightly harder to drive. The bass is a little better on the hd 660s, it does sound a little more open as if the drivers are further away from the ear. The treble seems higher on the HD599. Hd660s is a little more comfortable (lighter, less clamping), but make sure you put them on the right way. As they have 2 cables not one, you can get it wrong. And if you put it on wrong, it snags and pulls you hair out. If you aren't nick picking, get the HD599 for £85 and save the cash :-)

No problem.
