Hi, I am looking to upgrade from my current can, HD 598 to either HD 660S or HD 650. I have been using my HD 598 for quite a long time and quite like their sound signature and comfort but now I am looking for something better to replace it as my daily driver.
I usually listen to classical music for high fidelity track but I also use my headphone for gaming, film, and general use so I am looking for something that can do well in every music genre (and yes, that include some bass-heavy genre like rock or metal as well), comfortable to use, and have a decent soundstage.
I don't mind sound neutrality that much, it's nice to have but I can sacrifice a bit of it for a better audio experience overall.
So far I have narrowed my search to either HD 660s or HD 650 which do you think will be a better fit for my need? I am generally want something with similar soundstage and comfort to HD598 but better clarity and bass (something with a thicker, denser sound is also welcomed, I modify my HD 598 with aftermarket braided copper cable so it give me that filler sound)
I use Asus Xonar Essense STX as both my DAC and Amp
