AKG N90Q.. still a great headphone for the $1,000.00 asking price..

These are back in stock at Harman and AKG👍
Weren't these down to like $300 a while back? I personally wouldn't consider these at $1000, let alone the original asking price.

The IKKO LOT Store seems to be a legit store selling overstocks and some second hand products on AE.
Same address, legal representative, business license number and company name as IKKO Official Store. AliTools rating is only 34% but they have only been open about 6 months and don't do a large volume of sales. Same has been true of a lot of audio manufacturers who don't do as much trade as bigger stores (eg. GS Audio and rebranded TinHifi or Tangzu Audio Store). Reviews look okay with only 2% dissatisfied customers. No guarantees, but I've ordered an IKKO OH1 and OH2 so you'll at least have company if it's an elaborate scam! :ksc75smile:

Yes I bought a new set direct from Harman for $299.99 shipped in March 2021, and later they were sold as open box for that price, so surprised they are back in stock for $1K, so not a deal IMO. They are very comfortable and useful as a direct from USB source w/o an external DAC/AMP.

Is $329.18 right now, still a good price.

- Audio46 still have them for $299, at that price is a steal considering the 6XX is $249 right now.

https://audio46.com/products/sennheiser-hd-660-s-audiophile-headphones
Since Amazon's all-time low is showing as $300, I'd grab them from Audio46 given that they're still running the $300 price over Amazon's current $330 price. $330 is still a good price, but this is the deals thread: why not grab the better deal? Another thing to consider: Audio46 started a price match for Black Friday, so if the HD 660 S happens to go down in price between now and then you're covered. Amazon won't price match even if the sale takes place an hour after you purchase something.

In term of Mids, which one is better: 6xx or 660s?
You'll find a number of comparisons between the 660 S and the 6XX/650 from several Head-Fi'ers in the HD 660 S thread. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/meet-the-sennheiser-hd-660-s.862720/

Great opportunity (b-stock) to pickup the latest DT700/900 for $155 or DT1770/1990 for $345 Here.

I just picked up the DT1770 to round out my Beyer collection.

The MMX100 for $61 is mighty tempting. It's kind of a basic headset, but it has a particularly good mic for the price and it's built like an absolute tank like all Beyers.

Drop has Letshuoer S12 Pro for $119. S12 is planar magnetic IEM. Pro has additional cables connectors (2.5mm, 3.5mm, 4.4mm). Pre-order (bulk buy), so need to wait for delivery.

https://drop.com/buy/letshuoer-s12-pro-in-ear-earphones

Letshuoer said on Facebook they aren't honoring Drop warranties, something about a 3rd party reseller made the deal with Drop. There's more info on their Facebook and Discord so I'm not sure if that might change.

Also be advised the estimated ship date is Dec 2nd but it might make a great Xmas present if the wait isn't a problem.
