I have a Sennheiser 600 and since the cable is very thin, I once had to replace it, and because the 650 cable is much cheaper (and thicker) I chose it, it also was recommended as secret tip by some on the internet, creating some improvements or at least a change of sound. Well, I have to say the change of sound was for the worse, though it is possible to subjectively prefer it. There was great loss of clarity and resolution, and the whole was more bass-heavy. While it was a little bit of fun for a while, it quickly diminished the quality of the whole listening experience. I read on some site of a guy selling expensive replacement cables that the 650 cable had much higher resistance and much worse fidelity. This corresponds to my impression. When I got back to a new more expensive 600 cable I immediately found it much better, clearer and detailed. So I guess what I'm saying is, think of getting a 600 cable (unless you want to go for a really expensive cable). It might improve the whole can.
