Sennheiser HD 650 to complement IE80? Comparison request

Hi,

 

I own a pair of IE80 earphones with custom silicone sleeves which I am generally happy with. I have just purchased a Bravo Audio Ocean heaphone amp and wonder how the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones compare to the more portable IE80s.

 

I would be grateful for any comments about the difference in sound quality between the IE80 and HD 650. Is there a dramatic improvement in sound quality with regard to bass, mid range and treble? I previously owned a pair of Sennheiser HD25-1 IIs but sold them because of harsh treble / sibilance and then sold my V-Moda M-80 headphones to help pay for a pair of Momentum headphones. The Momentums were returned because of concerns about using them outside. Having read many reviews the HD 650s seem to offer the best sound quality (notwithstanding that they are indoor headphones).

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Martyn

I read somewhere that HD650 and IE80 share similar signature but I alread that HD650's mids are not recessed as far as I know but I'm not sure about IE80. HD650 is musical and forgiving which will suit any genre. 

 

Can you tell me how's IE80's signature when compared to V-Moda M80?

 

Is mids recessed?

Is treble harsh?

 

I have Brainwavz M2 and Thinksound TS02 IEMs and I'm looking for some more. If IE80 has HD650 signature then I will buy with my closed eyes
