All user reviews for the Sennheiser HD 650

One side plastic but upscale sober. He shakes his head on the animal! Well, it should get better with time ...

Listening is attractive, very warm, lots of depth in the sound, full bass and round ... Voices emerge fairly in your face "a lot of presence! Pretty sweet potato, more!

For cons, the accuracy is withdrawn from the 880 Beyer! ... It's a great listen but hi-fi, I find (normal headphones are advertised as that, I think). Compared to the 880 I hear a lot fewer things, the reverb tails, the hi-hats ... All is well now but a little muffled, softened ... And highs seem a bit behind in addition to being less precise ... But listen very involved, very attractive!

I set the bar a little high, but for the mix / monitoring: it remains a good high end headphones! But I keep my Beyer DT-880 Pro!

Bases of comparison: Beyer DT-880 DT-770, AKG K-702, K-240M
Headphone amplifiers of the Presonus Central Station / Convertos RME

Hello,

I use it for 2 days and it is still not completely free because they could run in the most (about 4 hours of listening), but immediately gave me the impression that it is excellent

I tried a few models that really are not comparable in the same category (80 Grado, Ultrasone HFI 2400, for example) but I almost always been faithful to Sennheiser high-end, this headphone is more acclaimed by the majority, and the icing on the cake: the place where it was purchased I have a possibility "money back guarantee for 1 month"! What more?

I appreciate his amazing sound quality with a source and a good amp!
but I also love its versatility because I also used for studio monitoring and it is really very neutral and accurate, the comparison made with a balance between this headphone is "sure" and is done with confidence because after listening to passing by my Focal CMS 65 I have no surprises, the balance is good ...
the only fault I can find is that it gently squeezing on the head and barely exerts too much pressure on the ears but it is new and this failure will disappear with the use
one senses immediately that this is a very comfortable headset, such as velvet earpieces are very comfortable although the velvet it attracts all that train: hair, dust, etc. ...

the price / quality ratio is excellent and if it was a remake, you would have understood my feelings by reading the above, it will be ... 1000 times yes!

Musically yours,

Philippe

IMPORTANT PS: it seems that this product is no longer manufactured according to some rumors, this is something quite rare at Sennheiser to stop a product that is not that old anyway!
for now it is still present on the site http://www.sennheiser.fr/casques-audio/casques-audiophiles/casques-filaires/details/695/23/casques-filaires/hd-650
but it was withdrawn a few days ago of two sites, one of which has a very good reputation and I attend very regularly, watch this ...

The Sennheiser HD-650s are some of the best headphones that the company has to offer, which is saying a lot because they have a great line of consumer and studio headphones.  While I have really only used these headphones a few times for listening back to mixes on, these headphones will work in pretty much any environment.  I'm not sure if they would be ideal for mixing on as I haven't tried, but as far as general listening and monitoring during recording goes, these will work great.  They are sturdy and have a great build to them in addition to the fact that I found them quite comfortable to wear.  While I don't personally own a pair of the HD-650s, a studio that I worked at had a pair of them and I would occasionally check mixes that I had done on them to get a new perspective on the mix.  While they could sometimes be deceiving since they have such a superb sound quality, when compared with a variety of systems they can definitely help you to see where your mix is at.  If you are a consumer looking for a great set of listening headphones to use with your iPod or MP3 player, this is will definitely be more than enough for most listeners.  The price definitely isn't what most people are going to want to pay for consumer headphones, so if you are looking for a cheap pair of headphones these definitely are not it.  I would recommend the Sennheiser HD-650s to anyone looking for a very high quality set of headphones to be used in just about any application.  After having said that, I would say to definitely try these out before you buy them to see if they will work for what you are trying to use them for!

My previous Sennheiser headphones got broke. So I did a small research to find me new ones. I wanted high-quality headphones. So I read several blogs and every website dedicated to headphones.

I wanted some headphones with the most linear frequency response (no low boost like the HD25 for example).

The results of my research showed that there were two headphones to choose from: Grado RS2 and Sennheiser HD 650.

As I saw the Grados' price, I chose the Sennheiser.

And they blew me away the first time I used them.

The more I work with them, the more I discover the entire frequency range...

It's a real delight... Incomparable comfort and wonderful sound!

This headphones are not cheap but they are worth every penny.
