I have 660S and recently tried some Bayers to see if they have the bass I want for more thumpy electronic/pop music because of course that's what the HD6 series lacks. I landed on the lower end 770 Pros (I got the black Limited ones) and I have to say I'm quite happy. They're well tuned despite being a bit more recessed in the mids, and I can deal with the high treble when it's in those electronic genres because it's not overbearing there. So now I have closed backs with more thump and treble for electronic, rap and pop and my HD660S for guitar driven music like metal and rock. I'm good with this setup, and I think having the two pairs gives me a lot more precision than having just one endgame set. But we'll see, as these things never seem to stay stable for long.

I'm curious about the 770 Pros (since they get a lot of love on this sub). But as someone who's treble sensitive, I'm thinking I should hold off on beyerdynamic cans. I really dug the 1990 Pros (and wanted them to be my keepers, considering the value), but my ears wanted something more mellow.

Yeah these are treble heavy and sibbilant as well, so definitely don't get them if this bothers you.
