HD 660 S Apogee
Overview
With music files played on PCs and Macs or from services like Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music and Tidal, the output of the computer can prove to be a bottleneck that limits the ability to deliver sufficient power and quality to a set of audiophile-grade headphones.
No longer: A new bundle offered by Sennheiser brings together the HD 660 S, Sennheiser’s top-of-the-range, open, dynamic headphones, with the Apogee Groove - a USB DAC and headphone amp. This combination lets the PC or Mac user enjoy the full dynamic range and ultra-low distortion levels of one of Sennheiser’s all time great headphones.
In the new bundle, Sennheiser’s high-end audio expertise is perfectly complemented by Apogee’s 30-year pedigree as an innovator and industry leader in digital audio recording. The world’s most successful artists, producers and audio engineers rely on Apogee products to capture GRAMMY winning performances.
