These are lovely sounding, though you will want to have an amp on these. Great deal.

Just a heads up if you have a big head these have very tight clamping force. You get used to it/they will break in but it takes some time

Quote from drgka55 :
I mean the statement just doesn't make sense whatsoever. When you just exclude country you are basically stating that you like all music and thousands of genre except that one which is just impossible. Just an absurd statement. If there are specific genres or artists you like then just say that. No need to make absurd false statements. Nothing wrong with country. As good a genre of music as any. But no need to pretend you like all music when you clearly don't and it's not likely.

Seems people feel "cool" when they state they don't like country music, and at same time they say they like "all" music. Just so weird.
Quote me where I said I liked all music. I didn't. You're making a false assumption based on being butthurt about someone hating country music. Be falsely offended with someone else and quit making up things that people didn't say. I don't have time for your delicate ego.

Honestly the "except country" meme by people trying to project how wide ranging their music tastes are, shows how ignorant they are and certainly not open to a wide range of music.

Going forward, when you want to depict how wide ranging your music choices are, don't say "except country" cause it has the exact opposite effect.
LOL. Don't worry buddy as long you make sure people know you don't like country music you will be very popular. I gotcha sorry for misunderstanding.

audiophile headphone is such a rabbit hole, I would suggest you find yourself an end of game headphone and done with it instead of keeping spending tons of money down the road.

There is no end game headphone. Blowup
There is not one single headphone perfect for every audio need which is why most folks into audio end up with a few .

I received my Douk U3 amplifier today and wanted to update my comment on DAC and Amplifier for this headphone. First of all this amplifier is a value amplifier which can be bought for $40 at Amazon or for $30 at Aliexpress. Although I cannot compare it to a high level amplifier what I can say is it sounds very good. I cannot differenatiate the quality of music when I plug headphones directly to the phone at a high volume vs plug them to this amp at a lower volume. No difference, it just increases the volume.

Since I already had a DAC cable that I have been using with my phone this is still a great deal for $26 that I paid for it.

Another alternative if you use a desktop PC is a cheap soundcard like Sound Blaster Audigy Fx which supports headphones up to 600 Ohm. I bought that one for $26 as used like new from Amazon warehouse.

Wanted to share my experience for people who needs a budget amp to use with HD6XX,

I'm thinking of just buying a Fiio K3 to power these. Easy, and seems very compatible with macbooks. Anybody have thoughts / suggestions?

The discourse of comparing the sound profile to the 6xx vs the 58x, 600, 650, 660s is so overblown.

The 58x is a little more bassy and slightly less detailed, as others have said. The 660s is very similar to the 6xx except it sounds more dynamic and has even more detail, similar smooth and comfortable sound (not identical, similar, but more on that in a moment).

The 600 and the 650 sound so similar to the 6xx, that I really question any normal listener being able to understand the difference unless they had all pairs on them at once and were cross-testing them back to back. It is the same listening experience, unless you are an experienced headphone listener who is constantly paying attention to the minute differences in these headphone variations (not criticizing those people, but an understanding of how niche that kind of listener is needs to be mentioned when giving an idea to the casual person looking for a recommendation).

In my opinion, the HD660s is the best headphones of this group since they sound the most detailed and are much more engaging (not mind blowing, just more dynamic), but I understand why some people prefer the more laid back listening of the 6xx that still sounds very engaging. The 660s is also easier to drive and sound close to their best than the 6xx is, which is good for me gaming off a controller and not being able to use my PC Amp/DAC stack. But, especially at this price, the 6xx is less than 1/3 of what the 660s normally goes for on sale (around $400). I love my 660s enough to sell my 6xx, but 95% of people won't care enough to do what I did. Getting a 6xx and a $100 amp is a great listening experience

Sound is so subjective. And words we use to describe what we hear can mean different things to different people. I wanted a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990's forever, once I finally got them I thought they were going to stab my inner ears to pieces the highs were so piercing!

My suggestion, if you're in the market for a pair of headphones order them and see if you like them. If not you can either return them or sell them for at least as much as you paid for them with this deal.
