Interesting. I might give them a try since I I have been looking for a classical headphone.
Did you try to compare them to the K-240MKll for classical music?
How would these headphones compare to the Alessandro MS-1? I know they're probably totally different league, but I've been looking for a closed headphone that has a similar sound signature to my MS-1 and someone has recommended the DT660.
I don't listen to rock or anything that's bass-heavy, prefering to stick to pop, country and instrumental (mostly piano). I enjoy the bright-sounding MS-1 with these genres, as they seem to give my songs a different "life" when compared to listening through my speakers. So I would love to hear your opinion on how these cans fare when compared to the cheaper MS-1. Thanks!
I have never heard the MS1s. However someone who bought the DT660 on my recommendation PMed me recently and told me that the DT660s were in their opinion better than their K501 or MS1i. This person already posted in this thread But I'll let them talk about it if they like.
The DT660 I find superior to the K701 and K501 for classical. Hopefully I will get to have it go head to head with the K240s in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you for your review.
As I was looking for a closed "classical headphone" I bought them on your advice. I found the soundstage of the dt 770 very tiring as it seamed the instruments where behind my left and right ear. Also had good experience with the analytical sounding inear Phonacs for classical music.
After listening for a few weeks I am very happy with them. They produce a smaller soundstage even with the stepdance, which amp produces a kind of arctic soundscape.
I use them a lot with the total bithead although I have to put the volume way up.
I once switched back from Denon 2000 (I know, sometimes I just like to blow my head off with bombastic classical music) to the dt 660 and the difference in detailing was huge.
Great advice
