Hi,
currently I own Momentum 2.0 and I'm looking for open-back headphones for home & comfort listening. I love how Momentum's sound when wired to a laptop, but I'm a little bit disappointed the way they sound on the iPhone wired (which is a lil' bit strange). Also, they can be very uncomfortable even after an hour. :/
After about 6hours or maybe even more of researching i'm down to two choices: HD660s & HD700. At this moment I'm leaning towards HD660s because they seem to fix some problems HD700 had and reviews seem to be more positive about HD660s.
I'm going to use them with Magni 3 AMP and macbook pro's built-in DAC (maybe later upgrade to modi?). Mostly listening to indie/psychedelic/classical rock, classical music, acoustic guitar.
Any advice? Should I just go with my gut feeling and get HD660s? Thanks a lot!

I would recommend buying the 700s used as that is an excellent value, this is what I did and sold my 600, 650, and 6XX. EQ to taste.

Hi I have the HD660S and in my opinion they are brilliant for your music tastes, I’m listening via a SMSL Sap II pro headphone amp & adding either a SMSL M100 or possibly a Topping D30 Dac at Christmas.

I have both, love both.

That said, the HD700 are jaw-droppingly good with the right amp, same excellent dynamics as the 660S, and a good taste of the 800-series extravagant soundstage.

Just now, HD700 + Dekoni Hybrid & stock SE cable, from Lyr 3 w/Brimar CV1988, from OG Gungnir Multibit. Very exciting.
