    1. September in Montreal by Bisson was better with every listen. I'm digging your recommendations.
    2. Given this model's "high" clamp strength, which Sennie 6xx model fits your gigantic head the best? I wear glasses too and so far haven't found headphones I can wear for long at all without discomfort and then pain, so I've been on IEMs forever. Thanks from a fellow XL helmet wearer.
    3. You're killing these it in these videos. Interesting, entertaining, fun. Kudos.
    PS. Playing God absolutely slaps. Wow. I'll now spend the next x hours devouring Polyphia's catalogue.

      I am really glad you are appreciating the songs! The most comfortable headphone of all time for me is the sennheiser HD800s but it doesn't work for everyone. Another comfort king is the Audeze LCD 2c which is in the same ballpark of the 660s2 but a very different and darker sound signature. If you like the 600 series sound, the 650 is probably the most comfortable for mutant heads like ours lol

    How does someone with a relatively small audience receive review units? Do they approach you or did you ask them?

      I write written reviews online on various sites and recently decided to shift to a video format. It is a LOT more work but I am mainly doing it for fun.

    Awesome review. Could you please do review on harmonicdyne zeus or elite and how it compares to others?

    When I look at some interesting midfi headphones I remind myself that edition xs exist. 😊

      Is it more comfortable than the sundara? God I hate wearing that headphone

      Probably not. I find the sundara comfortable though. Something I hear about the XS is that its big and basically wants to fall off your head.

    Listen to some stuff off of Meshuggah’s album Koloss on these if you get them again.
    So good for it.

    Great Review , about Dynamics and Punch my Opinion is that its way up from average , The reason is that 90% of headphones at 1K price are worst or the same , and Only some Hifimans and Beyers can be better on dynamics oh and Elex but these are also far from perfect , some sound metalic some dont have realistic timbre some have bright treble . So no i wouldnt say Average i would Say Great Dynamics and Punch but not Perfect.

    • @TheSoundAnalyst

      Thank you for the support! Dynamics are a interesting thing because there is a huge variation in subjective experiances within the same headphone. I believe that ear canal and shape have a signficant influence as well as amplification, pads, seal, and head size. From my perspective having listened to hundreds of headphones, to me it felt good but there were many headphones that had more tactility, especially in the upper mids and bass.
      The other thing that is special about dynamics is that we dont have any systems to really measure it well, especially given the variables I mentioned above can be hard to control with any testing device in relation to human ears.
      Regardless, I really appreciate the time you have taken to comment and I could be completely wrong about this so I am always open to other views.

    I owned these headphones for less than a day. These are the most boring headphones I’ve listened to.
