Sennheiser HD 650 - Audiophile Hi-Res Open Back Dynamic Headphone

Auriculares de gran calidad de sonido. Para escuchar música en alta definición. Son estándares en cualquier estudio de grabación para usar como monitoreo. Los recomiendo.

Nothing to nitpick for the sound, even on onboard ALC or USB powered DAC. Although the comfort is not as good as HD598. The stock wires are heavy, plus the HUGE 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter, its really uncomfortable, even just slighly turning the head the wires will rob against yourneck, add to the fact each cup has its own wire conncted; The worst part is the wires splitting is too short! I believe not just me but almost everyone will feel constraint or tie up by the heavy and cummber sone wires. The other is not a big issue but HD598 is just too comfy! the HD650 by comparison, has way more clamping force on the head--maybe its new and Im used to HD598 for 7 years.

I like the quality of the construction. The open sound experience.

Put them on for the first time and youll hear a subtle darkness to the sound. Not a muddy darkness but a life-giving twilight kind of darkness.

I upgraded from the HD 540s which served me very well for many many years. However upon putting these cans on my head and playing some high rez (320 Kbs) tracks immediately confirmed that I had made the right choice. The build quality of the unit is excellent. Everything on the headphones is tight and solid. I have used them both on my Onkyo home receiver (which was best) and on my Sound Blaster X-Fi card. True to the reviews these headphones are warmer in sound and favor the lower range (bass) which is just fine with me. However to my surprise they kick the highs with clear, sharp, and clean tones. So the overall range exceeded my expectations.

They sound good, but hurt my head after an hour of use.

Love its sound over HD700. Im currently having MSB Select DAC, JPS Abyss/Liquid Gold, HD800/Eddie Current 2A3, Stax 009/BHSE, Ultrasone Edition 5/AK380+AMP and I feels that HD650+Zodiac Platinum+MASS-Kobo 404 will provide the best sound for getting started audiophile.

Based on all the positive reviews, we shelled out the $500 for the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones thinking they would be better than the Sony headphones we already have (MDX something, $200). We received the Sennheisers yesterday, and they are going back today. I cant really say that the quality was good or bad, because, even at the highest volume, it seemed I had noise dampening earplugs in. The little booklet that came with the headphones says that the Sennheiser phones make one feel surrounded by the music...I was left wondering, Wheres the music? I kept searching the phones for a switch or volume control, or something that would indicate a bad connection or damage, but to no avail. Lesson learned; more expensive does not always mean better.

Ive had my HD 650s for three years. I listen to them mostly with an iPhone, which about half the time is with a $150 Fiio headphone amp and the rest of the time with no headphone amp. I also use them with my California Audio Labs CD player and my Linn Majik integrated amp.

Dont think about it. Just get these. I am still waiting for my tube amplifier to arrive and hopefully then i can pull out the max from these bad boys. Using them with Fiio E11k currently (i know its underpowered) as i have no other amp with me right now. Sound stage is very prominent and excellent. My ears dont hurt while listening to them as in sonically and physically
