Sennheiser HD660s - Best Headphone Under $500?

[@jakeduggan3854]

I like the HD660S. Like the HD600, they sound great using a tube amplifier. On a tube amp they get a little bit wider, warmer and the attack/decay that tubes bring really complement the headphones. Sennheiser are known for their smooth sound signature. Some people hate it, some love it. Nothing like drinking a glass of whiskey in a quiet room, watching the tube glow from my amp while listening great music. I think the 660S sounds more refined compared to the 600 and 650. Each to their own as sound is subjective.

If same price, which is the better buy, HD660s or Sundara?

It's very much about user preference, but I would pick the Sundara

How would you compare hd 660s with hd 800s ?

It's been a long time ago since I last heard the HD800s but from memory, that headphone has bigger soundstage and better imaging. It's also much brighter than the HD660s imo.
