Glad you are enjoying them
You can bend the headband metal to reduce clamp if needed, works pretty well, here is an example from diyaudioheaven. Also the pads will get softer and with more use it should get more comfortable

Another update: to remove the pressure on my jaw I tried to bend it like in the picture above and kept them stretched out on my speakers for 4-5 days. The pressure has released, but it is still present. Also the pads are not very comfortable.
I like the sound but I cannot adapt to that discomfort that those are creating after a couple of minutes.
I can buy some Dekoni pads which are comfier, but those are another 60-70 Euros and the shipping is uncertain right now due to corona virus
Therefore, Iām thinking to return them (I have 30 days to return them)
I really like the sound, I donāt have any complain. Only the discomfortā¦
I can say from experience that the clamping pressure will go away, but itās your call if you can tolerate it now or not. The great thing about Sennheisers is that they will last forever. You wonāt be worried about the clamp if you still own them 7 years from now
If you like the sound Iād keep them as long as possible⦠the pressure will continue to diminish and they get seriously comfortable⦠also do the bendy thing a few times a day or two apart⦠glad youāre liking them otherwise⦠also pad swapping sennheisers isnāt highly recommended
Yes, I saw that changing the pads is going to change the sound. Each type of Dekoni pad has itās own signature.
When I switched back to the DT770, the softness of the Beyer stock pads was striking This is exactly what I miss on the 660s
I do not know the availability of the DT177x Go in europe but my suggestion for you would be either those or just go DT1990s. Both are excellent headphones that will have a sound signature, build quality, and comfort of something you already know you love.
Yesterday Iāve returned the 660s. Now Iāll restart the searches . I think Iāll stick to Aeon2 Closed.
I found this review, where the āopenā model seems to be better than the āclosedā one.
The Aeon Opens really sound more semi-open. Much more isolating than the 58x (closest 660s point of reference I have).
Thanks! Indeed the 660s sound leakage was not that big. Something to take into account
Today I received the money back on 660s and after I saw the recommendation from The Headphone Show , I decided to buy 2 pairs instead of 1 pair, in the budget of 1000 Euros (± 5-10%)
A downsize of the Beyerdynamic is that I cannot use the balanced output, but seems that these are not that hard to drive.
IMO imaging is excellent for the price and would def outperform the k7xx.
Also I would wait before ordering aftermarket pads and just use the analytical pads for the 1990 and see what you think
Seems like a sweet lineup
