I absolutely love your Dragon Ball super reference in the beginning. It made me smile lol

Isn’t 660S as in S1 improvement on HD600, it has maybe less bass (but better quality) and more smooth treble (but with more detail retrieval)? The timbre vs HD600 and mids remained intact, the added soundstage, imaging and dynamic performance of the driver is the result of newer modern HD700 drivers being used. I pretty much consider HD660S better Hd600. Meanwhile HD660S2 felt like its separate model, more in line with HD58X or with Momentum 3 headphones. The HD660S still has vocals in more forward position. Meanwhile HD660S2 vocals are more inline with instruments. That’s my take on it. So ended up keeping that.

I got and tried extensively - Philips X2HR, X3 - Hifiman Sundara - Sennheiser HD660S2, HD650, HD660S, Momentum 3 - Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X, DT1990 Pro The headphones I kept, -Sennheiser HD650, HD660S2, Momentum 3 - Philips X2HR (side by side, Sudnara felt unimpressive in comparison), just EQ down the spike if you need to, I did not.

nice review. I have the same comment to you as I did in Resolve's review last week of the 6 series... 70Hz is not subbass. 60 Hz is not subbass. 50Hz is not subbass. get where I'm going here?? the 600 drops below the bottom of the bass preference curve at 80 Hz. The 600 doesn't lack subbass... it lacks bass, period.

I love these and have used them a few time per week since 2017. The sound works for my mixing and reference needs. Everything is still intact after 7 years of use. They are certainly broke in and not secure to my head like they were when new. I find myself adjusting them occasionally for best comfort. I feel the earpads memory foam becomes flat pretty fast and they need to be replaced more frequently than other headphones. I bought these over the Sennheiser 600HD reference because they sounded better to my ear and were more comfortable for long sessions. Great Video Thank you!

I got 660s and 660s2 to test them against my 650 with Ifi Zen Dac v2. I can confirm the upper mid range can a little bit, overpower/hype the vocals. Could not crank up the volume to hear vocals better due to that in some tracks. There is more detail in 660s2, I could pick some stuff from background sounds or background vocals that you did not notice on HD650. The HD660S have more detail too, but due to lowered bass they have bigger soundstage. Overall they are almost 1:1 in mids to HD650. Sometimes in vocals and guitar they sound little bit more tiny than HD650. Overall I think I prefer HD650 for music, pop, hip-hop, edm and rock. But due to gaming and me wanting all round headphones, I will keep the HD660S, as if you don’t have them side by side the 660S still sound very good for music 97% for mids and vocals to HD650. But 660s have better soundstage, imagining, detail, perfect suit for gaming.

This product in Turkey 250$ Fuck

my eq for the x2hr is almost identical but i also slightly boosted the majority of the midrange because i feel like the mids can get a little drowned out by treble and bass in a lot of the music i listen to (mostly metal and rap)

So glad I watched your review. That’s a really good song. Nightcall. Thanks!

14:08 I have the newer revision of the hd560s where they toned down the treble a bit and I can hear the claps change position just slightly though it's more noticeable when they get further away, if I move the drivers forwards of my ear holes then it loses a lot of that positional detail.

13:44 The sad thing about the Sen’s …there’s nothing in the way between the 800’s and Orpheus … 14:37 the chicken was a fun outro 😆

9:03 LCDX ..that vocal range has a dip ..but unit variations has more or less..mine is slightly better than my friends LCDX (we got ours within a month of each other)

6:36 Sure, covers 👍

5:39 I don’t EQ mine as well 🫨

I replaced the LCDX with the carbon fiber one..not really much weight difference..but the clamp is more comfortable.

Can you review the Audeze LCD-XC?

Pls review aune ar5000

Classics never die!!!!!!!!!

Strange comparison, but for the other hand - most iconic dynamic vs variation of the most iconic planar... BTW, i have new revision HD600 (no marble painting, different acoustic panel damper, etc.) - it does stretch over time, but without additional effort (like living it stretching on something) - it takes pretty long. If you don't wear it regularly - it stiffens back)

hd560s not comfortable and sound is too much linear

Beautiful deep voice and handsome? Good to see you. 😊

Not durable my one is broken

10:00 Sound Quality

Have You check the frequency response of the ath r70x and the sennheiser 600 before doing this?

I like the way you describe the sound quality. I get it. You have to know what you want, and I think i will order these - knowing that listening to bad recordings from the early 90's might be a little harsh 😁

Coming from a Steelseries Arctis Pro (lol), anything talked about here will be a big upgrade. It's sounding like the Sennheiser HD800S and HiFiMAN Arya Stealth are quite a bit similar... I don't have any experience with audiophile level headphones. Both have an MSRP that cover around $1700ish. Looking at current prices I can snag an HD800S for about $1400 or Arya Stealth for $690. Presumably, with such a vast price difference I'd be better suited getting the Arya Stealth? Also, considering I have no other gear, what else should I look for - an amp and DAC? Which should I consider? Cheers!

Can you review one of the old Sony headphones which seemed to maybe be inspirations for the HD800? Such as the Sony Qualia 010, Sony MDR-SA5000, Sony MDR-SA3000? Also could you review the ES Lab ES-R10?

Do you just not believe in the Harmon target or anything? Look up the frequency response, there’s a huge dip in the upper mids (I think between 3-6k) that most hi-Fi headphones would boost.

what would be your pick for that open back "wiz bang wow" sound stage?. where you could swear sounds are coming from somewhere in your room. and I mean of all the headphones you have listened to .

Hi which version of the Koss Porta Pro would you recommend I should buy because idk which one to buy

The voice..... just sayin...

3:10 Damn R70x makes you look good

Hi! Doyou think is Q3 enough for a AKG K361 32ohms? And for AKG K271 MKII 55 ohms? Thanks for your time! Nice review!

11:05 at the end of the video you really just took away the most value for money type of headphones and just stayed with the more expensive ones which is fine but i still think the ananda and deva are great headphones cause deva and he400se are like a cheaper version of the sundara and ananda is a cheaper version of the arya to be fair i do think the arya obviously is a better headphone but i dont think by long shot compare to the ananda. The ananda i think also sound like a very expensive headphone and not only said by me but by other reviewers as well. And in frequency response i do have seen the arya is one of the most neautral ones of all but the sundara i also do have seen in other reviews that are warmer in sound.

12:01 besides only doing more of a experience comparison i really would it enjoy see a graph comparison of the frequency response so you can kinda just objectively also compare what you hearing with what the actual thing the headphone is trying to transmit. I think would it be More visual and prob even easier to understand.

Hello guys! I am looking to buy new headphones. I currently have X2HR with oratory EQ which are sufficient, but I am looking for something new, mainly I would like something with best detail and technicalities in general. Currently I had a look at HE400SE which are 130 euros, Sundaras which are 350 euros, and HD 600 which are 330 euros. Also I am used to the wide soundstage which X2HRs provide. I am not worried about the tuning since I am probably gonna run oratory's. Also I do not own an amp or a dac, so a suggestion for that is also welcome. My budget is upwards 400 euros (not including amp or dac) Different recommendations are also welcome, however I am looking only for open backs. tl;dr: Looking for new open-back headphones with great detail and technicalities, currently considering HE400SE, Sundara, and HD 600. Budget is upwards of €400 (not including amp/DAC). Prioritize wide soundstage and open to other recommendations.

Maybe use more graph comparisons in the future and also could try the he400se. To compare with the 600 since some people Say the he400se are a bit more neutral

lol wtf is this review, just address the elephant in the room, HD560s has very low resolution it's lower than on HD280 a 100$ headphones, HD560s is simply a toy for kids, it's bad

There's no possible way the bass can be different because of the shape of the magnets. The wavelengths are simply too large to be affected by them.

Once you've read the instructions you'll find that the volume can be controlled by the device driving the GO Bar. In an effort to present honest reviews to your viewers, you should make this important correction to this video.

This true, other reviewers say Sundara has big soundstage but I have a Sundara for 3yrs now and the sound feels closer to my ears than a HD660s.

I'm planning to upgrade from these headphones. I really want to spoil myself. I'm not experienced with headphones but love music. Not sure if that makes me an audiophile. Do you have recommendations on what to update to? I live in Pakistan so unfortunately not a lot of options to try stuff out. I really like sound stage, so someone recommended the Rx70. But will the lack of bass throw me off coming from these headphones? I don't know how the bass compares on this and Rx70. I'm not a bose headphones user, so I don't think I'm used to overinflated bass luckily

I have the 2018 version of the LCD-X. Still the kings of my collection. Don't skimp on a quality amp! You're paying enough to justify one.

Curious how many sets of m40x you've had, cus I'm on my 3rd set, snd they're the 2n one to have a hinge crap out, and each one crapped out faster than the last.. My first set lasted nearly 3 years, my second set nearly 2, this one barely 1..

14:26 I tried the 800’s …they’re great except for the bass….there ain’t any ..compared to the X’s 😎

If you heard the Sundara first then don't buy X2HR or you'll throw it away in just 3seconds. Its like watching your wife without front teeth. lol!

Hi , greetings from Toronto ☕️ I got recommended this video by another LCDX (21 Creators Edition)user ..and am very interested in getting the best sound ..as this may be my last headphones for a while. So far they’re my GoTo for film scores and EDM ..vocals are average..unless the recording is on point. I lowered my clamp force with the Carbon Fiber head band ..as for cable I run the Hart cable. My amp Bryston BHA-1 headphone amp. DAC new Denafrips Ares 12-1 DAC . Great video 👍

PORTA PRO is the black headphones with Orange pad for information
