Just spotted these from Amazon with a $200 coupon, looks like they have been $380 in the past but this is the lowest I’ve seen since then.
I know these weren’t super well received on release but it seems like this might be a good deal. Do you all think they are worth it at this price point?
I have these and use them for 90% gaming and 10% music (Apple Music lossless) and can definitely attest that they sound incredible.
Do you use DAC/amplifier? And can you use it with your phone?
YMOO DS400+. A very basic one. The 660S2s were a gift so they just wanted to get me going. Sounds perfectly good to me though. Will upgrade down the line but totally good for my uses.
As for the phone, there’s probably a way to do it but not 100% sure sorry.
I just got HI Fi Ananda Nano for 599 I’m paying using Amazon’s 5 monthly payments so 100 a month. Just got them yesterday and already I think worth every dollar
5 easy payments
Dang looks like it’s over
click on other sellers. theres should be one with a coupon for the same. shipped and sold by amazon
If you’re looking to get some new headphones check out hifimans sale right now, I got their stealth refurb Amanda’s for 350, pretty good deal for those imo
How do these compare to HD660s?
id say 15 to 20% better.
I’ve owned the 650s, 6XX, 660s and 660S2.
If you’re coming from the original hd 660s, the bass sounds more extended. mids sound closer (to me) to the hd 650s. It depends on your wallet, for me, I’m okay with spending $400 for a marginal upgrade.
How do you get the coupon?
camelcamelcamel.com tracks prices in amazon to tell you if they artificially inflated it or not
Yup. $599 is the regular price and $400 is close to the all time low.

Note: I had to open the “New & Used” pop-up on the product page to find a pair listed with the coupon. So it’s slightly hidden.
You’re a legend. Upvote this man
Stop tempting me!
Is it a good headphone? Yes. At double the price, is it twice as good as the HD6xx? No, honestly I prefer the 6xx. If you’ve tried it and you love the tuning then maybe it’s worth it for you, but no, it’s objectively not a “good deal”, it’s another variation on the 600.
Thanks for keeping me from “upgrading” my HD650. :)
I would love to hear the difference, though!
That’s still disgustingly overpriced. R70x are cheaper and they’re not even in the same league.
I bought mine for $379.95 back in July from Amazon. I absolutely love them. I am so glad I did not listen to the negative Nancy’s. I got it paired with a FiiO K7BT using the Balanced cable. Everything I listen to sounds amazing from music to gaming and movies/shows. Stock sounds perfect. No EQ required with these. People were just mad about the launch price. Also I noticed Bass gets a lot of hate in the audiophile community.
I don’t know what genres people listen to but the way audiophiles talk about bass you’d think they’re all listening to ‘ambient sounds of the rainforest’
I was going to buy them then too, but everyone in here was like “Those SUCK!” so I didn’t. Next time they’re on sale like that, I’ll buy a pair, but I have too much money going out right now to do it. Maybe Black Friday…
I bought these for 400 a couple weeks ago but will be returning them. I have the 600 and 6xx and prefer those sound signatures. The S2 provides a lot more bass extension, but it gives the sound a more veiled effect and the trebles can be sibilant.
I personally prefer the 600 and sent the 660S2 back. I just find the 600 to be a little bit clearer and smoother sounding but some people do prefer the 660S2. Value wise I think all the 600 series should be the same price.
coupon only for certain people right. i dont have a coupon on my account
