I had them both, 660S is more detailed and energetic sounding but not as warm as the 6XX in the midbass. However the 660S doesn't have the natural timbre and smoothness of the 6XX/600 and also the treble tuning bothers me a bit, since above 10k they definitely need EQ since they sound too recessed. With EQ they are the best objectively of the 6x0 line (if you don't mind a bit more artificial timbre). I personally love the 600 the best as my absolute reference headphone for tuning or just overall enjoyment, they just sound the most natural to my ears.

I like HD600 but it lacks the warm bass texture of the HD650. HD600 bass is good with EQ but bit dry.

Yes for sure, if you love 650 bass then probably the 600 won't be your preference tuning wise. For me I have the Hifiman Arya (with EQ) for bass heavy tracks when I want some punch/slam.

The bass is as heavy on the 600 it just has a better sound/texture on the 650
