Hey guys, today I got to try the Audeze EL-8 at my local best buy connected to a Deckard amp/dac and listened for about 20 minutes. I really liked the bass and mids on the headphone but the highs for me were a little bit veiled for my taste. Now I read somewhere that the hd 650 was even darker then the el-8 and wanted to know if this was true before I go and buy a 650. I'm probably going for a 600 for a more neutral sound if this is true but I just wanted to know in case.
The HD 600 is definitely the safer purchase for you. I've heard both the EL-8 and HD 650, but not side by side. Going by memory, they sounded similar in terms of how dark they are.
