The KEF LS50 Meta is like that unassuming neighborhood restaurant that turns out to be a Michelin-starred gem.

A reference-level neutral sound with just a dash of warmth and smoothness.

In the ever-evolving landscape of personal audio, the Sennheiser HD 660S emerges as a compelling contender that demands attention. Like a perfectly aged whiskey that reveals its complexity with each sip, these headphones unveil new layers of sonic detail with every listening session. The soundstage is a three-dimensional canvas where instruments are painted with precise strokes, each occupying its own space while contributing to a cohesive whole. The bass response is like a well-seasoned sous chef - present when needed but never overwhelming the delicate flavors of the mids and highs. Compared to its rivals, the HD 660S shows its true colors in the mid-range frequencies, where vocals and acoustic instruments reside. The Focal Clear, while excellent in its own right, can't quite match the organic timbre presented here. The Hifiman Sundara, another worthy competitor, falls slightly short in terms of dynamic punch and emotional engagement. Build quality is reminiscent of a well-equipped professional kitchen - everything feels substantial and purposeful, designed to last through countless hours of use. The comfort level is like a favorite leather jacket - it might take a brief period to break in, but once it does, you won't want to take it off. At this price point, the HD 660S isn't just competing - it's setting new standards for what we should expect from high-end audio gear. It's not just a headphone; it's a ticket to a front-row seat at your personal concert venue. Score: 9.2/10
