Not at all. I have the 560s as well and it's thin sounding, lacking the meat that the 660s has and the treble on the 560s is a little to harsh for my tastes, although you can get used to it after a while.

The 560s aren't bad whatsoever, but I just adore my 660s so much more.

Have u tried boosting the mids on the 560s, I feel they sound much fuller after that

I don’t mess with EQ because I like having the ability to plug them into any source and they’re gonna sound the same. Some sources don’t have good EQ like my iPhone for example.

I did a very slight boost in mids (150-1000hz) on my spotify EQ and I feel they can’t sound better than this haha

Good to know. I don’t use Spotify but next time I’m using the 560s I’ll try a mid boost. Did you also make sure you lowered your preamp gain by the same amount so you don’t get distortion?

I mean in the software. You need to lower the overall gain by the same amount that you raised in the mids or else you’ll get clipping/distortion
