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

There are millions of reviews out there on these - and everything you read is accurate. These are very comfortable and sound great. I used a pillow to stretch them a bit to fit my big head. I tried a headphone amp, compared with my iPad and Samsung S9+, and returned it because I really could not tell the difference. Perhaps my ears are too old. In any case, I really love these. I look a little goofy wearing them, and my family can hear the music Im listening to, but its a real treat putting these on, sitting on the couch, and listening to audiophile quality music. I purchased a second, shorter cable because the stock is way too long. Also recommend you purchase a case - less bulky than the provided giant box with foam.

There really is no substitution for the price & quality. After coming from Beyerdynamic DT 770 pros, there is no comparison. The difference with these and other studio headphones is that 6-series Sennheisers are not only great studio monitors, but phenomenal headphones as well. There’s a reason they are the standard for both audio professionals and audiophiles alike.

these are a go all day, im glad i waited for the price drop. Theres not much to say about sennheiser or the 650s that hasnt been said already, it is an industry standard.

The best - amazing clarity and sound definition. I bought these and the HD600s to compare side-by-side, and ended up keeping these. The HD600 was like a perfect/flawless representation of a perfect recording. These take it a step further and make me feel like Im in the room with the performance. The sound stage is unbelievable. These are well balanced - they are slightly warm and musical compared to pure flat studio monitors, but theres not overpowering frequencies, anywhere. I bought them for use with an expensive digital piano, but also use them for TV and private listening (just about anything from Jazz and Classical to Metal and Electronic, but no Hip-Pop or country).

He probado varias opciones, pero la relación calidad precio de estos Sennheiser es sencillamente espectacular, sobretodo comprados en la oferta de amazon por 260.- euros.

Ive had these for over seven years now, and no other headphones Ive bought have ever phased them out of rotation. Yes theyre wired only, no, they dont have any degree of noise-canceling, they are wide open and anyone in the room will hear what youre listening too. I hugely prefer the open-backed sound and comfort, as your ears dont get hot like closed sets, and it doesnt sound so claustrophobic. Many people that listen to a good set of open backed headphones the first time will quickly take them off for a few seconds because they dont believe the sound is coming from the headphones rather than speakers. Theyre very lightweight, and dont clamp too much, so even my big head is comfortable in them for hours.

at this price point unbeatable

After spending the last few months with these headphones I figured I should leave some feedback, considering how much more I enjoy listening to music now. I can say for certain that I wish that I had these during my years studying music in college as they would have made the experience that much more enjoyable. These headphones bring out all the detail I had been missing with home listening in the past and it really lets you experience albums as they are meant to be experienced. That being said these are not the headphones for you if you will be listening in a loud environment, require no sound leakage, or will be traveling a lot. Also, you will need to by a decent headphone amplifier if you wish to make them really shine. While listening to bad albums you will be annoyed but try putting on some Thriller by Jackson and you will be wanting to dance right away. The bass is superb, the highs are clear, but not piercing, and the mid range is full and velvety. If you love music, you want the HD 650s.

Best average price mixing headphones. Flat sound . Very comfortable.

These make music fun again (not that it ever wasnt, but i found myself falling in love with songs Id know and loved for years).
