Jan, could you please elaborate the last one about the treble being recessed.

Originally posted by jude The HD-600 is street-priced at a point where people are willing to buy it to use even with an entry-level rig. This is almost a sure road to disappointment. Don't get me wrong--can it sound good with an entry- to mid-level rig? Yes. Can it sound great that way? Most probably not. Will you wring out the vast performance potential the HD-600 has with such a rig? That's pretty much a guaranteed "no."

i think we can say that for almost every pair of good phones. it isn't new that the headphones put out what they are fed with.
but do you think that the basic sonic signature (in which each of us can see the potential, to his taste) really change that much, until it can be totaly unrecodnizble, when fed with the most hi-end gear?

i feel disappointment a bit, for the same size soundstage you mention.. you have a good rig to show differences.
and if i understand, the stimulation factor ain't really different..
i see that Sennheiser didn't try to make a different story with the new model.
but do you feel that there's a chance that people that didn't like the 600 can like the 650?

You must know, Jan finds the DT 880 too dark...

and don't forget a $$$$ amp, source and cables

Well at least you'd have something to listen to while in the hospital

Yes, Jude thanks for the review.

Jan,
I will be looking forward to this! I hope that you will leave the stock cable on the Sennheiser HD-650.

Jan, those phones are maybe the most comfy of all phones, i don't feel my 5 years old 600s when i wear them.

"clamping force"

, did you wore HD25-1 for a long time?...that's a clamping force !

That is so cool, to have another heavyweight opinion. Thanks Jan.

just make sure to find out his tastes

(and not disrespecting Jan's opinion for even one moment!)
Jan, would you please confirm that you find the DT880 "dark"?

btw, long time no speak, Jan

do you remember my journey started from the HD600 and PCII i got from you?
look how well my rig has expanded.. and it's continuing

Sennheiser should use this in their marketing of the 650: buy a pair and join for free Head Fi's Team Too Broke To Buy Food After Buying HD650 and lose 10 lbs. Diet Plan!
