Can't wait to get these plugged into my HD800s and hooked into my RSA Apache.

Just gotta add that I've had the Blue Dragon V3 for a short time now, for my 580/650. Never been a believer in cables but my mind has changed.. it's an improvement I can easily notice compared to stock. Love it!

The difference between blue dragon and stock pro 900 cable skyrockets when used with high end-ish gear with good bass detail. If someone could make a switch where you could switch between blue dragon and stock pro cable instantly, I'm pretty sure blue dragon headphone cable would be an ideal cable to use in proving the existence of cable differences because the difference in bass (with a sufficiently bassy setup) is instantly identifiable.

I know this is an older thread, but my question fits well with the debate

Drew obviously prefers Silver for the HD650, but would you still get kickass result from using Blue or Black? I'm thinking of buying a used BD cable from a friend of mine.

Like anything else it comes down to acoustical preference. We also all hear differently. Some people are more sensitive to highs, some are more sensitive to low frequency pressure. Equipment plays a roll too. I listen to a lot of Jazz, Blues and music where there is a lot of instrument separation. I like the speed, detail and air and the Silver Dragon gives me this with the HD650. I find the HD650 the darkest of phones and too laid back for my taste. Others interestingly enough find them bright. So it really depends or your impressions of the phone to begin with. If you want more weight and want to smooth things out go with the Black Dragon. The Blue is a very neutral, natural sounding cable that will cleans things up and add impact but not as much weight as the Black. Not as Full sounding.
