19 percent?!Wow, how do you Europeans manage to still buy stuff? Yikes.
That's still cheap. I got mine for €500, almost $700, and that's with a 5% discount....

Yes, emphasized highs, much more so than on HD558's. HD558's have slightly more forward mids, but highs are on HD650's are much more emphasized, much crisper and cleaner.
They have around 300 hours on them, so its not because they're new or not burned in, but I definitely find them fatiguing. The thing is, mids are slightly recessed IMHO, and in order to get some punch and energy from the bass, I need to crank them up much louder than HD558's. I can listen to 558's on any volume and they will sound nice, while HD650's will sound nice only when they're cranked up pretty loud, and then highs gets almost piercing and sibilant.
I think you might have been ripped off, honestly. For that amount of money you could have gotten an HE-500.
Not really. That's the official price in my country. All headphones are much more expensive than in US for example. D2000 are almost 400 euros, D5000's 700 euros....HD800's
1200 euros, etc..... and If I order a pair from US, or ebay / amazon/ whatever, once they get trough all the taxes and stuff (don't know how its called in english, but its basically +10%, +12% again, and then additional +23% on that price), it increases their price to the same amount I'd pay in my country, so there's really no choice, and no point in ordering from other countries. Sux.
