I’m getting ready to buy some mixing and mastering headphones and I know Danny likes the Sennheiser 650, I know that they came out with the 660’s and are discontinuing the 650’s, there are some on amazon brand new for $319 right now. As far as the 660’s, reading reviews people seem to say they completely drop off after 14k, but I seen reviews where people talk crap about too much low end on the 650, so I just wanted too know if you’ve tried the 660’s and if you would recommend them over the 650’s, thanks
I just got 650’s in th today, they’re super accurate but do I need a headphone amp? they’re lower than my akg mth 40’s, I’m plugging straight into an Apollo
I just don’t know if they’re accurately representing the lows
I think you be fine with the Apollo pre, the 650s have a roll off in the lows which is what you are hearing. This can be rectified with Sonarworks. I used to use a second pair of headphones DT770s for low end before purchasing Sonarworks, now I jsut use the 650s.
do you use the Sonarworks Systemwide or Daw version?
I like to be able to reference outside of my daw while working in my daw,
650’s definitely usable just a little lower than I expected, I ended up buying this amp and it works great MASSDROP X ALEX CAVALLI TUBE HYBRID AMP (CTH)
I use both. I have my set to switch between the DAW version of Sonarworks when I am working in the DAW and then Systemwide when I doing everything outside of the DAW
