    Sennheiser HD 660S2 thread

    Bang on description and comparison. I bought the 660S2s to pair with my Hifiman headphones, and particularly for not so well recorded metal tracks that can be otherwise sibilant. Good news (or bad for your wallet) is that the 660S2 can sound even better on a good tube amp. I found a really...

    Burson Conductor 3 Reference > Cayin HA-3A > HE1000V2 Another Friday night, another Scandinavian folk session! Just incredible production on this and amazing pairing with the highly resolving Hifimans.

    Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier

    I don't have the ZMF headphones but hiss will also depend on the tubes you have. I have zero hiss/noise with the stock tubes with my 660S2, which is more sensitive than your mentioned headphones (with similar impedance). I get very minor hiss on high gain unbalanced. On the RFT ECC82 tubes I get...

    Burson Conductor 3 Reference > HD660S2 Very interesting mix of Stoner and Power metal. The tracks on this EP are fairly lengthy, but well worth it!

    I almost thought you had some special design on your amp, a glitter in the sky effect, but then I realized it was just dust :sweat_smile: Nice tubes by the way lol

    Burson Conductor 3 > Cayin HA-3A > Arya Stealth It's another evening listening to Vorna, but this time from the album "Sateet palata saavat", which basically means the rain will return. This song is actually the first one I encountered from the band for what feels like many years ago. Like many...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    I can vouch for the 660S2. I know it's not closed back but if you don't need the sound isolation I would recommend that headphone as it's within your budget and very easy to synergize with amp/dacs.

    I hoarded a bunch from Ebay. The price was too good to pass, but your shipping might be more expensive as most sellers I've seen are from the USA. I think you can also buy directly from Cayin but it's from their German site: https://cayin.com/produkt/rca-22d4-gleichrichterroehren-ersatzroehren/...
