I’ve had my LCD2s since 2013. Would this headphone be considered an upgrade or a side step?

@ZeosPantera Do you think the HD660S could be properly driven by the headphone output on the LG V30?

Anonymous

Just got them and they work great with my V20. I would say the V30 should be the same

I can drive mine perfectly with an Ipod nano. I would think that an LG phone would be just as good if not better.

At this point I am really split between two options I have in my mind. Either these ones to listen at home or the isine 20's so I can listen on the move and at work. At the moment at home I have the 600's running balanced through my Jotunheim and at work I run my Shure srh 840 through a fulla 2 and I use some Brainwavz I got off Massdrop on the road. Considering I am pretty much getting the headphones for free through my employer, what's your take on my options? Feel free to suggest another headphone if you see fit. Thanks!

ZeosPantera

I'd honestly do the iSine 10's. The 20's aren't enough of an improvement to warrant the cost. The isine also sound better with an EQ tweak to the point I would almost call it mandatory. So unless you can use the lightning cable it came with I'd probably do the 660's. WHICH you can use outdoors if you are brave.

Hey Z, just joined patreon because of you. Your commentary is amazing! I get such a kick out of it. Anyway big fan.. I bought the HD650, MDR-Z7, M40X, H400i, M1060, KCS75 a Jotunheim, 2 periapt cables, ZMF pads, brainwaz pads .... solely on your recommendations. No, I am not kidding. So, I want to go up a notch and live the Z Life in canada, lol. Do you think you will be getting Mr.Speakers Aeons anytime? Because that is where I think I will stop...lol...maybe... Well lets hope so.. BTW I use your amazon link like crazy so hope that helps too.. I am very tempted to buy these 660S (when you said they imaged like STAX, I was very intrigued). But I want to hear your take on the Mr. Speakers Aeon open first.

ZeosPantera

I talked to Mr Speakers himself about it. So yes. Just need to email him in a few weeks.

Got the 10's and I am not one bit disappointed. Sound just as good as I remember the 20's and I just cooked a glorious steak while listening to them. And I am just about to go out to do my shopping, so this changes everything. Thanks Z!

Fuck you Z. I just spent another $500.

Got these last week. They sound like the Audeze lcd 3 but a fraction of the price & half the weight. Not as much detail or imaging as the HD700 but you can listen to these all day without any fatigue. HD700 with a warm tube amp rule the world & are super comfortable if your ears aren't too big. Brainwavz velour pads and bending the ear cups out about 5 mm made the HD660s epic.

ZeosPantera

Its been a while since I put HD700's on but I don't recall the imaging being THAT magical. These are pretty outstanding.

Anonymous

It truly caught me by surprise how great the imaging was when I A/B tested them with the HD800. They also proved that burn in is real. The highs started to roll off @ 3 to 5 khz & the bass was unchanged but drew more attention when the treble smoothed out. The HD650 I lent you for your original 3 way comparison didn't change at all after years of use, I guess it depends on the driver design or material. Maybe in a couple months or so my HD660s will change it's tonality as well.

what?!?!?! Listening on the isine 10s through the aune x1s the low end is so prominent, not loose but not tight either and they are quite closed for an open style headphone (zeos's voice sounded lower in pitch and quieter then I would expect, but not muffled). They sound congested to me, especially the lows and mids. With minimal treble sparkle, treble sounds dulled. Imaging is great, the detail is all there, and the sound stage is present with certain sounds coming from further away like expected from a planar. String and brass instruments have this extra reverberation that is very enjoyable like on the m1060s without the foam removal mod, but at a whole other level. The vocals are full but with lacking treble sparkle feel the top end This is so different from any other sound demo I've heard on your channel Zeos. With all that said and out of the way, for some reason this demo was one of the most enjoyable demos on the channel I've heard. I was bobing my head very engaged in the music. I'm so confused! Am I the only one hearing all this? Update: I pulled out my L700s and all the negatives I just mentioned evaporated! With only a little extra emphasis on mids and lows and just a little lack in treble sparkle. Very relaxing sound demo Zeos can you listen to this demo with your isine 20s on the aune x1s and shoot me a reply? Thanks in advance, I enjoy your work a lot and good luck with the podcast

F you Z! you made me buy these, and for $550 here in the EU.. ffs! at least I will get to enjoy some more SennSound soon. I will make an experiment with my newly arrived miniDSP EARS and measure the headphones right out of the packaging and then mybe once every 20 hours of use/burn in. how about that?

Anonymous

They showed up a couple days ago and I can't stop listening to them. Money well spent.

Hey Z, I am looking to upgrade my DAC/AMP for this masterpiece. I am currently stuck with Aune X1S+X7S or the jot w/ DAC module. Any recommendations between these two?

Anonymous

Just recieved my HD660s in the mail, first thing I did before my first listening session: Measure both right and left performance from DC to 24.000Hz. measuremenst are here for you guys to play with <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/6xsf7nvm41lf73z/HD660S-Unboxed.mdat?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/6xsf7nvm41lf73z/HD660S-Unboxed.mdat?dl=0</a> Measurements was made with a miniDSP EARS and Room EQ Wizard, and so the file shall be opened with Room EQ Wizard

End up getting the Fostex HP-A4bl. It hurts at the start, but the Fostex meld my heart:)

These or m1060's?

ZeosPantera

I mean. These unless you want a bigger sound. The M1060's do BIG planar as well as a most things except the LCD_2C and above. These are very pointy fun. All the detail.

Anonymous

My wallet is just so confused on what to do. I can only get one. M1060s, lcd 2c, or 660s

ZeosPantera

FFFF.. 2C if you want wide and relaxed. 660 if you want to get F'd by sound, M1060 if you want to save money.

Anonymous

Audeze uses this affirm pay over time thing so I can afford the lcd 2c. I'll get the 660s later.

Hi Z would $220-230 be a good price for a clean set of HD 700's? I was thinking of buying the Modhouse mod kit for it to tame the highs everyone seems to mention.

ZeosPantera

Seems like a decent deal. Those were pricey back in the day and with mods I am sure they can do great things.
