Can anyone confirm that the pads have been changed?
The euphony is missing on the new pair.

The difference could be explained as easily as worn vs fresh pads. Worn pads will cause closer driver distance… Ive never experienced very worn pads which Ive read that for some people will cause 6X0 to become supraaural which will add another factor for difference in sound…I got my new HD 650 since my old ones(2017) died. These sound different than my old pair. These have more treble and the mids don't sound as full as the old ones. These sound more technical than musical. What's going on here? Are there any changes made to the new HD 650? Someone told me that the pads have been changed. The new pads when worn out won't sound the same as old ones? I have to admit I am a little disappointed.
Yes, pads have changed but differences might be very small for most. See last page for some mehsures.Can anyone confirm that the pads have been changed?

Don't know about custom cans, but I bought a balanced XLR cable from Forza for my HD650. Your miles may vary, but I think it opened the sound compared with the stock. Not night and day, but enough so I didn't regret my purchasewhat is your opinion about the balanced cable? Custom Cans
So you "almost" bought the 6xx, but you didn't? And then you want to refer to them as "dull audiophile?" Have trouble making friends? Just giving you a little crap. There is nothing dull about the 6xx. From the lower treble to mid bass, they STILL are about is good as it gets for many. That doesn't mean that you'll like them or that you don't find bluetooth headphones "better." This hobby is largely relative...to your experience, preferences and the time you've put into it educating yourself and your ears. My advice, enjoy those bluetooth headphones and just move along.I almost bought a set of the HD6xx Massdrop headphones. But I backed away when I read that they have very flat bass. I'm not a basshead at all, but I do enjoy the type of lively bass and audio response produced by Bluetooth headphones like Sony XM4, Edifier W820NB, Panasonic RP-HD300 and a few others. But the 6xx seem to be tuned for a dull audiophile response
