I've heard that the 650s are a bit more smoth, and dark in the sound. Is that true?

What music do you listen to?  What sound signature is the most pleasing to you?

I like rock, indie rock and alternative. I like bass in my headphones, but not too much.

It will also depend on the headphone amp. 

But overall the HD600 are more suited for faster pace than the HD650.

Amps should not greatly change the sound of a set of headphones. The biggest difference is in the headphones themselves. Amps makes subtle differences in headphones.

I've heard that the 600s are more harsh than the 650s, is that true. I want the sound as smooth as possible.
