CONCLUSION

   The sole reason i requested the ADAPT 660 from EPOS Sennheiser was because i wanted to test something which i think could be of use to everyone either working or attending classes from home. So, my primary concern was not so much audio performance in general but just how good its ANC would be and after spending almost 2 weeks with it i can say that i didn't expect such good results, not just in terms of ANC but across the board. Audio quality is actually very good, mids and highs are very crisp and detailed and in terms of bass even though you may not get impressed by it it's certainly above average. Yes, the ADAPT 660 doesn't support some of the hi-res wireless audio codecs like LDAC but aptX should be more than enough for most people. How about its ANC however? Well i have used and/or tested several ANC headsets over the years, most of which blocked out pretty much everything. The ADAPT 660 doesn't do that however, yes it blocks like 95% of everything happening around you but that remaining 5% allows you to have some awareness of your surroundings and that for me is the best possible approach/result (needless to say the not so aggressive ANC also results in better audio performance). Of course, that may not be ideal for some people so do take this into account. The good news also extend to the other end of your calls as well since the three advanced Digital MEMs beamforming microphones deliver crystal clear audio something which is obviously extremely important for a product like this. As for battery life i was hardly able to exceed 19 hours with ANC turned on and set to adaptive mode and the volume at roughly 80%. I do realize that most people will not have the volume set quite as high so up to 20-21 hours with ANC on seem logical (recharge time is roughly 3 hours).

   Just over a month before we say goodbye to 2020 the ADAPT 660 BT ANC Headphones by EPOS Sennheiser retail for USD291.96 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 379.22Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is very balanced and set lower compared to similar models by SONY and BOSE (at least in the USA – pricing needs tweaking on this side). Overall, the ADAPT 660 is a great all-around wireless headset which can be used not only for calls but also to watch movies, play games and even listen to music. Add the near-excellent ANC, the very long battery life which in most cases can easily surpass 20 hours and the crystal clear audio for the other end thanks to its 3 microphones and it’s no wonder that it gets the Golden Award.
