Sennheiser HD 660 S
HiFiMan Sundara 2020
The HiFiMan Sundara 2020 and the Sennheiser HD 660 S are both over-ear headphones designed for neutral sound reproduction. The HiFiMan do a better job at this, producing bass with more thump and punch than the Sennheiser, as well as treble with more clarity and detail. That said, both are very well-balanced throughout the mid-range, so vocals and instruments should sound present without being honky. Though they are both open-backs, the HiFiMan have a significantly more speaker-like passive soundstage and are more comfortable than the Sennheiser, but the latter are more stable on the head, which might be important if you like to headbang while listening to music.
