I'm not a fan of advice, but I will advise
Buy Neumann NDH 30, no matter the mood, they always sound great! This is exactly the feeling when you buy headphones for $600 and realize that you own headphones for $1500 or more. Very nice feeling
About the 660s I can say that having bought them for 500 they give a sound somewhere around 700, depending on the mood it can be a little higher or lower
In any case, I will leave the 660s for now in order to have options for listening to the mix before its release on different headphones. And I can say that 660s is just the kind of headphones where a quality cable can make their sound significantly better. And this difference is very well audible. The stock cable does not open them 100% It only gives about 70% opening. Maybe it's the mood
I don't know why, but it's a proven fact
But it seems to me easier to buy NDH 30 in which the final best cable is already included!
BUT I repeat - I like a very open and correct sound, if in general. If someone likes a different sound, then there is no point in buying NDH 30
Why have I already written about NDH 30 several times? Before, like all of us, I was constantly in search of new headphones, I could not be satisfied with either $500 or $2000.
But when NDH 30 appeared and I started to work with them and constantly listen, I noticed that I stopped looking and choosing.
It's so calming, satisfying and gives optimism
Especially considering the price
Here is a correct professional customer review on thomann, which is close to my opinion:
First of all: in my experience, headphones are a very individual thing, since the sound does not depend on the room like with speakers, but on the anatomy. That's probably why there are so many conflicting reviews of many headphones. Subjectively, the NDH 30 seems made for me. I've tried quite a few headphones for mixing and listening to music. I liked using the AKG 812 as an audio magnifier, but the highs were always too sharp for me and the sound never really suited me, even with my reference songs. Beyerdynamic DT1770 fits well when the environment is loud or does not want to be disturbed - but the resolution and the rather HiFi-like sound tempt me to feature the mids too much. The Apple AirPods Max are amazingly linear, also have a good resolution and stereo stage, but are too heavy and uncomfortable for longer mix sessions for me personally. For me, the NDH 30 surpasses all the headphones mentioned in all respects. In addition, my reference songs finally sound “right” to me and listening and mixing is a lot of fun! Even if the listener does well on the outputs of sound cards or even mobile devices, the sun really rises when you use a good headphone amplifier. I use the SPL Marc One and compared to my MOTU 8Pre ES the transients are audibly more detailed and the depth gradation is even more impressive. In addition, the handset sits perfectly on my head and follows movements well (much better than the AKG 812) The bass is tight and defined, the highs are more reserved than with the AKG and Beyer dynamics - so the sound is perfectly balanced for me. Neumann isn't exaggerating when they compare the sound to their monitors. I use the KH80 with the 750 Sub for speaker mixing and the sound is actually very similar and makes mix decisions very easy with the NDH 30 too. So far I haven't had the feeling that I have to revise anything when listening to the speakers. Two things to keep in mind, firstly with these headphones it is very important to position them correctly on your ears. Due to the diagonally inserted speakers, the sound changes when you move them. Secondly, the cable is fabric-coated and when listening very quietly, the mechanical noise caused by the friction when the head is moved is annoying. Here Neumann could decouple even better. In the initial euphoria, however, that is my only point of criticism so far.
