Coming from a Samson SR 850 and a OneOdio Studio Pro 50, I wanted to upgrade to something from the 600 series, more so after listening to it at headphone connect, Delhi. At the price of 25k, the 650 has the legendary 600 series vocals. I discovered the nuances of the totality of Hendrix's voice in All along the watchtower which I hadn't before. Same for Ben E King in Stand by me.The bass is very good, not earth shattering. It makes it's presence felt when it is supposed to. A shade less than my OneOdio cans. The treble is detailed but not fatiguing at all. I can listen to these for hours. Keep in mind, I am running these off my laptop as of now and plan to get a hip dac 2 sometime in the future. The soundstage is a bit narrower than the Samsons but the imaging is ...

The clamping force does reduce after a few hours and they'll be among the most comfortable headphones in your collection. Grab these while you still can at this price

I purchased these headphones alongside the Schiit Magni+ and Modi+ as my first foray into the high-quality audio space. I previously had Bose QC headphones, AirPods, and Powerbeats Pro, and I was deeply impressed by this new pair.First, they're incredibly light and breathable. I imagine it's partly because no batteries / Bluetooth module is needed in the headphones, so the overall weight can be decreased thanks to the cable.Second, the sound quality is amazing. I can hear a lot more of the features of music I'm listening to. It's always interesting when I'm surprised to find a new instrument or element that I couldn't hear on my earbuds.The open-back design was an experiment for me, but I've really liked that so far as well.Overall, I'm loving the headphones ...

Bought these to upgrade some cheap Audio-Technica cans. The sound is clear, natural, and seems pretty flat/unhyped. It's sort of a the last 10% kind of improvement. Not excitingly noticeable until you go back to something else.They're super comfy to wear for hours in a row. I really like the earcup material - it feels substantial and they keep the speaker grille well off my ears. It seems like it would be nice to have a bit wider padding above the head to spread the weight out a bit. Kudos for the little notch in the headband padding for hanging them on a hook without smashing it down.As others have mentioned, the shiny plastic is a weird choice since it doesn't match the quality. And it would be nice to have the L and R more obvious on the outside. Put the ... MoreBought these to upgrade some cheap Audio-Technica cans.

The cable is solid, but it would be nice if it was a little more satisfying in the tactile department for the price.Overall I'm glad I bought these headphones. Definitely looking forward to many years of use.

These are indeed exactly like people describe them. Slightly warm, a very musical yet detailed sound. I don't know why it's called 'veiled' or 'dark' though - to my ears the treble is very well extended without being sibilant or fatiguing. Perhaps pad wear will change the sound eventually (this is something I'm worried about as Sennheiser original pads are always out of stock in India). The 2 cons I would say are: 1. Out of the box clamp force is quite high, and the headband foam is stiff. So it creates a hotspot pretty quickly. Although they do start easing up, it's still not a "super comfortable" set, despite being lightweight. 2. Outside sales, these are sold for 44990 INR, which is quite high, and at that price, you might not be "wow"-ed by it, especially if ... MoreThese are indeed exactly like people describe them.

Sound quality is top notch, after testing loads of other headphones between 100 to 1000 euro price range these stand out from the rest to me. No real weaknesses, the sound is little bit warm and dark, but not overly so. The slightly elevated mid bass gives the sound more body, while the dark treble makes sure they never get fatiguing to listen to, never harsh. While the treble is tuned down, its still very detailed. You'll just notice in a busy mix treble tends to take back seat as mids and mid bass rule the show. Sub bass doesn't really exist on these, but its the case with open headphones in general. Overall, its a balanced and natural sound that's very nice and easy to listen to. The detail is there, but it isn't overwhelming or 'fake' like with many ...

Overall, its a balanced and natural sound that's very nice and easy to listen to. The detail is there, but it isn't overwhelming or 'fake' like with many Beyerdynamics that emphasize treble too much. Vocals sound exceedingly good on these. Wearing comfort is otherwise great, but they may have bit too much clamping force. They're very light and if looks are important to you, you won't need to feel embarrassed wearing these on video calls or web conferences, unlike many other audiophile headphones that can look awkward. As for build quality, its excellent as well. While mostly plastic, this makes it very light. And this plastic is very high quality. I used to obsess on getting headphones with mostly metal build for best durability, but I've learned that it comes with a lot of drawbacks, mainly the weight. Not to mention a lot of headphones that are mostly metal build still have some plastic weakspots that break down over time due to bad design. These seem like they are built to last and will outlast most other headphones in terms of wear and tear. They have also removable cable and all the parts are also replaceable. All in all recommend to anyone whose looking for a well balanced headphone. Surely, sound won't get much better from here no matter how much more money you spend. These are end game material for even the most demanding users.
...to my ears, anyway. Yup...Pete M's description is spot on. These will tame bright recordings or electronics, make it sound RIGHT. But give it a nice tubed OTL headphone amp to hear what it can really deliver. I just hope Sennheiser keeps making these. Otherwise, they will never pry my 650's from my cold, dead hands.... Are the 660's worth the price dif? I dunno, because I haven't heard them. But I hear they've gone to a slightly more analytic sound. Think I'll stick with these.
Just received the Sennheiser HD650 from Headphone Zone as my personal mix reference headphones. The bass, mods and treble translation is amazing. Almost flat sounding headphones. Since I’ve been using the DT770 pro all my life this is a major change for me. My first open back headphones and it just sounds amazing. I hear my flaws in my mixes, and able to tweak it quickly, whether it be EQ or levels in vocals, the low end of the song, or the overall sheen on a track. It’s truly precise. The stereo image is amazing while hearing on the HD650. This headphone has been recommended by a few mix engineers as well. Overall it’s worth buying it to step up as your reference headphone. Fellow audiophiles if you want an intermediate level referencing headphone kindly check it ... MoreJust received the Sennheiser HD650 from Headphone Zone as my personal mix reference headphones.

These are incredible sounding cans. Out of the box, these headphones are a bit tight on the head and need a few days for the clamping force to reduce. You may stretch these headphones over a headphone case you reduce the clamping force. The sound signature is slightly warm which makes these non fatiguing to listen for long periods. I drive these headphones through my Chord Qutest and Ifi Zen Can amplifier. The mids are excellent and vocals sound just the way they should to me. Treble is sweet and not too sharp like Beyerdynamics. These headphones sound excellent with almost every genre. Be aware that listening to bass heavy tracks and extremely fast drum beats won't be that good on these. You won't get the bass punch and rapid attack like planar magnetics. Still ...

Be aware that listening to bass heavy tracks and extremely fast drum beats won't be that good on these. You won't get the bass punch and rapid attack like planar magnetics. Still there is enough bass to sound good on almost all kinds of music. You need to have a decent amplifier paired with these to drive them to their full potential. Also, the sound improves after some burn in of at least 50 hours. I used pink noise at moderate volume for burn in after which I heard the sound really opened up. The soundstage is a bit narrow compared to my Hifiman Ananda, but this makes listening to vocals more engaging. I'd listen to the Ananda any day over these for music with lot of instruments. The build quality is pretty good, though I wish the headband padding was thicker. The earpads are good quality velour pads that are easily replaceable. Overall a great purchase when available on sale at around 22k (50% discount).
These are very early days of my usage but the Sennheiser HD 650 do sound wonderful. They not as spacious or as sharp as the AKG K712 - the soundstage is kind of narrow and the sound is on the warmer side. And to be honest, they really needed better design on these - the plastic headband seems a little on the fragile side. But heck, you forgot all that when you hear them. I would say that they are best suited for music because they sound incredibly, well, for want of a better word "pleasant." There is the slightest stress on bass - about as much as you can get on an open-back headphone set - but the overall effect is very pleasant. I love to call them the "Bose of Audiophile Phones." Yes, they do benefit from a decent DAC - I mainly used a Fiio Q1 Mark 2, but the ... MoreThese are very early days of my usage but the Sennheiser HD 650 do sound wonderful.

Yes, they do benefit from a decent DAC - I mainly used a Fiio Q1 Mark 2, but the interesting part is that they worked reasonably well even off Apple's lighting and USB Type C connectors, which is surprising. I hope to be using better DACs and let's see how that changes matters. I first heard them in 2010, and well, I recently got them for about Rs 22,495 - close to half what they once cost. One heck of a deal.
After spending some time (and a lot of money) in this hobby, i have currently settled on the HD650 and Audeze LCD-X open-back headphones. While HD-650 doesn't have the bass reproduction (one note-ish), speed, clarity, or sound-stage of the LCD-X, what it does right even the LCD-X or Sennheiser HD-800s can't match. And that is a neutral tuning with exceptional mid range timbre - basically a headphone that sounds "right/natural" (in-spite of it's limitations). It pairs well with the budget IFI Zen DAC (Single ended, truebass and powermatch disabled) and scales up to a high end Violectric V590 AMP. From what i have read they sound even better with high-end tube amps. This is a classic worth owning. (Note: every once in a while these go for sale at half price.)
