Just one more question on the impedance ,
How do you usually set output 1 when you use them ...???
Between 1-10, around 2-3 max!

I just bought a pair of HD660s, after finding that the 600 model was discontinued. I haven‘t spent more than a couple of hours with them, but liked what I heard so far. I plan to spend several hours with them, playing and dialing in tones, tomorrow and Wednesday. I’ll report back.
Wow. I’ve been using the Sennheiser HD 660s for a week or two now, and can’t believe the difference it makes, especially in the low end. My Axe FX iii rig stays at work (church), so in past weeks I’ve been dialing in tones on my FM3 at home (on studio monitors, in a treated room) and then importing them into the Axe when I get to work.Thank you.
IMO Sennheisers have been making superior Headphone product since I first listened, way back in the mid 70s..in all price ranges.Wow.

Since getting these headphones, I’ve redialed my presets while at work, using these headphones, and I feel like they are as good for dialing in tones (maybe better?) as my studio monitors at home. Again, the difference is especially apparent in the low end, and my mix room at home is too small to be super accurate in that lower range.
I’ve owned several flavors of $100 headphones (HD280, MDR7506, SRH440), but the HD660s are next-level.
I haven't tried the Blue Mo-Fi, only the Sadie from Blue. Maybe I have big ears
Dude...go see your Otolaryngologist.
I have the Beyer DT880 250ohm, and while they're certainly quieter than some other headphones (such as Shure SRH840), they get uncomfortably loud with Output 1 volume anywhere close to full. I wouldn't want to run them at those volumes for more than a few seconds for fear of damaging my hearing. I also don't level my presets as high as some people (trying out Pete Thorn's artist pack was a bit of a shock!)...... just sold my beyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohms
So i need to do right choice this time , as the impedance of the beyer did not convince to me ...
Sooooo .... i m stil a bit lost , don t want the same to happen
... the Blue Saddie , the senheiser hd 650 ....
Blue Lola , blue Mo fi
Blue products seem to be very heavy and hard to support for hours .... the Beyer sound was great !!!!
I like the same quality neutral sound but with more power ... there’s the DT 770 pro in 80ohms
....
Any advises ...???
... thanks for your answer ,I have the Beyer DT880 250ohm, and while they're certainly quieter than some other headphones (such as Shure SRH840), they get uncomfortably loud with Output 1 volume anywhere close to full.

If you're intent on your headphones being louder than the DT880 can produce with everything turned up to 11, none of us can stop you, but you will damage your hearing.
If you need to use the headphones with other devices that can't drive the headphones as well as the FX3, then that's a different story. My phone certainly doesn't do a great job of running the DT880s, for example.
... thanks for your answer ,
Believe me I have no intention to be in trouble with my hearing but lots of headphones which g have impedance lower like the Blue products which are 42ohms if I m correct or others which are 80ohms sound more powerful than any 250 ohms headphones .....

Thanks again for these words ... I ve take a look at the HD 650 after your answers yesterday , in Europe , in France they are about 350€ ... more important budget thank Beyer 880 so if the Blue Sadie are inconvenient because of their weight , i haven’t abandon the idea of them ...I used a pair of DT 770 PRO for almost 10 years and I loved them. They broke recently and I ordered the same ones because I got used to their sound and I love them. However, the new pair sounded nothing like the previous one. Waaay too much bass, and there was an annoying peak that I couldn't get used to. Then I got the Saide which I already explained. I could have gone to the 880 I heard they are more bright. A had bright headphones before SHR940, which was fairly bright, lacked of bass and its material was poor. It fell apart within 2 years. So I knew I don't want bright headphones, I don't want lack of bass and I don't want too much bass.
I had to move up to the $400-500 ish area. I read good things about the HD660s but again I heard it was more on the brighter side and hard to listen for a long period. HD650 was very popular. Many mixer engineer uses them as reference. It's smooth and balanced. Maybe not the latest, but I know many people will hear my presets the same way as I do, from now on.

so difficult when you can t try a product ....
I see ... thanksI am not trying to pressure you in any direction, I just explained my story and the reason why I chose the 650. You have to figure out what is best for you!
I see ... thanks
Hi and Thanks , i think i ll go for the Blue Sadie also as the situation has evolved and buying it in the US is possible now ....I know how you feel, I went through 9 pages of thread before I could decide. . My Blue Mix-Fi's do sound really good with the Axe though, even though they're a little heavy. Much better than my open back cans which are just to bright.

unless i would have go for Senheiser HD 650 but it s fairly pricy ....
hope i ll be as pleased with the sadie as you are .....
i ve Taken a look , it would be great if anyone had tested them with the Axe ...... i ve heard of this Brand ...Meze , really quality products ....how do they sound ....Have you looked at these, I was seriously considering them b4 I got a great deal on my Phillips open back. They also come in ebony, mahogany, and maple. May sound like snake oil but I read a lot of great reviews.
