I don't find the D5000 as dark as the HD650. You can have a headphone that has very strong mid-bass but if balanced with a rising treble, it will sound balanced. Taking the words more literally, "dark" is the opposite of "bright" so darkness has more to do with how the treble behaves than the bass.
