HD660s with a BTR5 and he sat listened to the entire Back to Black album by Amy (which sounds amazing on these) didn’t move an inch. Very pissed when I had to put them away. Thankfully I keep these in a locked cabinet so he won’t go grab these when he wants to listen on his own.

Consider getting something that is lighter on the head for your child. Those Sennheisers can be uncomfortably clampy even to some adults.

I heard this story somewhere... teach them to buy headphones early, they wouldn't have money for drugs ever in their lives.

Oh no, did you turn the volume up to 11? /s

I disagree. Subjecting him to the infamous Sennheiser Veil early on will prepare him for even better appreciation of a truly open and resolving audio experience later in life.

i disagree. you're supposed to subject him to the lowest of low-fi headphones ever and then slowly work your way up to the hd600 which he would then have a greater appreciation for. if the he-1 was the only headphone you ever wore, you would never appreciate it

Tell your kid those are the only headphones they'll ever need.

It's jokes now, but please opt for volume-limited headphones when buying the kiddos their headphones

my fear is that I'm going to switch between hd600s and meze 99s and forget to turn the gain switch on my amp off then rupture my eardrums

do you think something like that adapter could reduce it enough to prevent them from deafening me if that happened?

Ruined your child for life, eh? When I was young they just call that “parenting”

You never know, they could be like me and just not like the Sennheiser sound profile.

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 think the 660S is not veiled at all, especially if you EQ it doesn't sound that different from my Hifiman Arya treble response. I think the legend is mostly about the 650/6XX which are definitely darker in the treble. I think even the 600 is not veiled.

yep.. he has audiophilia now (can tell by the focused stare he is embarked in). but its ok, its manageable when caught at a young age. there is tons of information out there for this condition. He will do well with proper guidance and role models.
