*Does anyone know why I don't get notifications for replies to this thread? I'm "watching" according to the top-right button on this thread, but I get no notifications a few days after my last reply.
I think I experience the same thing. I can always go to the "watched threads" on the website and see the threads with updated posts in bold text there, but email and bell icon notifications are unreliable and seem to randomly stop working. I can usually get them to "wake up" again by visiting a watched thread with new posts via "watched threads", but they seem to randomly stop notifying again at some point. My cynical side thinks this could be by design in order to increase site engagement by encouraging users to always keep a window open with "watched threads" loaded, manually reloading the page periodically...

Just checked on Aliexpress.
Shenzhenaudio is offering the EX5 at US$297. With stackable coupons and discounts, I could check out the item at US$263.13.
Pretty steep discount IMO if you are looking at getting one.
My viewpoint is that they look similar to HD600/650 with the similar earcups and flat pads but without the smooth frequency response of those two headphones, so I think you'd get more from an HD600/650. I'd imagine the soundstage wouldn't be that great given the similar earcups and lack of angled pads or drivers, so in my experience of HD600 I'd just go ahead and choose another headphone altogether, HD600 & HD650 prob better than HD660s though.
EDIT: looks like the HD600 is on sale too at 25% off (unless that's always it's price):
