I am about to buy this, but reading up the comments again, I am getting the impression that the DT 660's build quality is so flimsy it is sure to break sometime soon. Can someone comment on that? Is it a far cry from its older brothers DT 770, 880, 990 in terms of build quality?
They look flimsy but I have used mine just about every day and they haven't suffered any damage at all. Let's remember that these are really for home use, one would look weird wearing these in the street or on public transport as they are pretty big! They sound incredibly good with classical and jazz thanks to the high level of detail and clarity, not to mention the very open soundstage which is not at all typical of a closed back design. I know that here in the UK they are hard to find and the remaining ones sell for £160, so if you are going to pull the trigger, do it soon before they become too rare and even more expensive! The bass does deepen with age, the treble and midrange are superb straight out of the box. Good luck!
