These headsets are truly another level. I have been listening to some of my favourite artists and keep finding such fine details that were not audible on airpods/regular headsets. What are yalls favourite music to benchmark some headsets? The kinda songs that have a very unique dynamic range, or complex layered instruments that shine through a nice pair of headsets.

So far Ive done most of pink floyd nd radioheads discography, some frank ocean, opeth, kendrick lamar, king crimson, rush, and shpongle. Shoutout the everything in its right place gotta be my fav rn

Just got my HD660S2 yesterday! I'm running them through an Atom 2 connected to a scarlett solo (not the best setup but it gets the job done). I'm loving the sound so far blows anything else I've owned out the water, the headphone is very light and comfortable which is what I wanted for those longer weekend sessions.

The only thing that bothers me a little is that the cable provided is too short. I do not mind upgrading to a longer cable, but wanted to get yall's opinion on what brand/features i should be looking at. Would be a shame if i ended up getting a cable that bottlenecks the great sound this headphone offers. Also how do yall take care of open back headphones? Looks to me like the inside could get very dirty very quick through the grill on the sides. Should I maybe keep them in the provided bag in a closed space as opposed to letting them hang out on headphone stands?

Any other tips yall got for someone inexperienced with open back headphones, for taking care if them, good hardware to upgrade to to drive them, and especially music recs to listen to with them are appreciated! So far I have been having a blast listening to basically every song by radiohead, animals/the wall by pink floyd, in the court of the crimson king, some rush, and opeth.
