I'm seeing $272 shipped by Amazon. Is there a reason to buy from Amazon for $28 more?

I got to try these recently. I'm thoroughly impressed with the sound, like a remastered HD600 of sorts, better in all ways.

Looks like 6XX are cheaper and better.

The general consensus is that the HD 660S is not worth the MSRP, but that doesn't mean it's "better" or "worse". Some folks prefer the the HD 660S, they feel it's faster and more detailed. Some folks prefer the HD 6xx, which is a great value and a very highly recommended "neutral" headphone. The HD 660S is also marginally easier to drive.

I own both of these. If I was starting out, I'd recommend the HD 6xx hands down. The HD 660S is not twice as good at twice the price. If you think it's better - and that's a big if - it's maybe 10-20% better.

So they're both great, they are different, better vs worse is highly debatable, the HD 6xx is the better value even with the HD 660S on sale. Most of the negative press for the HD 660S is with respect to the cost. If they were the same price it would be a much different narrative.

Thanks for your reply. I find it weird that Rtings didn't post any results for the tests but only the conclusions.
