Great price.
When and where?
Does anyone else find their HD650's bright? I find them actually bright with Little Dot Mk5 amplifier and Asus Xonar ST soundcard. I find highs to be on the edge of sibilance in most songs, and I find the highs dominating the sonic signature of almost all the songs I listen to...bass is there, but not forward, just in there, mids are natural, but highs are what dominates. And I don't think its my ears or the recordings, because I find HD558's MUCH darker than HD650's in same setup. The mid-bass bump in frequency still gives HD650's a warm and sort of "veiled" sound, but highs for me just pop out. I mostly listen to jazz and rock.
I got my 650's new for $320.00USD - good price?
thats a great price. I ended up buying mine from an authorized dealer in Canada for $499.

That is quite expensive, I got them for EUR 280, which was about $400 at the time. And that's with a 19% sales tax.
19 percent?!Wow, how do you Europeans manage to still buy stuff? Yikes.

VAT is 20% in the UK and 22% in some countries - 19% is rather low.
Emphasized highs to the point of almost being sibilant? You sure you have a HD650 and not a HD600?Maybe, the assembly factory incorrectly colored and named your pair.
It is strange that your pair sounds brighter than your HD558 in that setup. The HD558 while a bit dark itself, is supposed to be brighter than the HD650. How long have you had your pair?
