    Wish I could. I've had emotional moments with my music in several ways, some headphones just do it better than others

    HD 660s2 has arrived, in the middle of my first listen and oh yes they are good. I'll do some comparisons with 660s later Edit 1: They've brought tears to my eyes already and several boughts of chills. I love this feeling

    So, I'm hearing the S2 plays nice with tubes? I couldn't justify grabbing a Feliks Audio Echo for the 660s but since the S2 has higher impedance I might consider it. I do enjoy the Lyr but want to see if I'd prefer the OTL and sell the one I don't prefer. 660s2 should be arriving tomorrow!

    I didn't even realize he said on top of the head. I like to buy Geekria knit headband covers and buy one of their headband pads. Shove the pad into the cover and close it up, tons of cushion

    I have this issue with just about every headphone and can't wear them for long without discomfort and headaches. Comfort is my number one priority and that makes my ability to collect headphones very small. The thing is, even if they retain their stretched shape cup shape and swivels can mess up...

    Just managed to snag a pair off classifieds! The 660s were my first of the 600 series, coming from the Hifiman Arya V2 as a main. While I love the V2 their sibilance was too much, and I couldn't get them to agree with my head comfort wise. In hindsight, they're also quite thin in the midrange...

    Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone

    Having owned the Amiron and still using the 1990s daily. If you want a warmer, easier to listen to headphones grab something like an HD 650 or 660s over the Amiron. The Amiron manage to be warm and muddied at times while also being hot to listen to, my opinion of course. HD 6XX series is more...

    Appreciate the info, sounds like it'd be right up my alley. I'll take a look at the 900 Pro X though I'm ok with the 1990s. As said they're exclusively for my keyboard/mixing purposes and they handle that really well.

    So what's the consensus these days on 660s vs 660s2? The 660s have become my main headphone. The 1990s are great as an instrument headphone, but for music it's too treble hot. I sold off my Arya v2 for being sibilant and uncomfortable to wear. 660s is a good level of warmth and treble that...

    1990 is really energetic, the balanced pads kinda raise the mids up but IMO they get muffled as opposed to warm. The Amiron is warm and detailed but more energetic like the 1990. Jazz and classical, acoustic stuff sounds great on the amiron

    I'm thinking you'd be better off with some of Beyer's warmer headphones. Amiron Home or the T1

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    Give it 2 or 3 days first. You're used to the warm signature as opposed to the more technical 2/64. Higher resolution, better imaging and spacial representation. It's truly a treat
