Q: Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to try these headphones on? I wanted to compare them to the hd600 and hd650s before I make a decision. I'm not sure if these will be worth it. I don't want to spend $1,700 on headphones I may not think is worth

A: I can tell you having owned the HD660S that the clamping force is very loose in comparison. Somehow they feel like they’re floating on your head but somehow will move with you for when you feel the need to move while listening. I can wear them for hours and forget they’re on my head. Only gripe, if you have shorter hair…. It can get caught in the hinge connecting the earphone to the headband and pull a few out when you adjust or remove them. It doesn’t happen every time but is annoying when it does. As for the rest, if they’re within your means don’t think. Just buy. You’ve never heard anything like it. Hope that helps!
