A lot of Sennheiser aficionados have been waiting for Sennheiser's own balanced cables for their flagship HD headphones since they were first shown.   The Sennheiser CH 650 S (for the Sennheiser HD 600/650), CH 700 S (for the Sennheiser HD 700), and the CH 800 S (for the Sennheiser HD 800)...

Hey, first post! I have in the recent weeks or so been a bit obsessed with headphones, I stumbled across audio-technica ath-m50 for 100 bucks then it just went downhill. After lurking a bit in the forums, I have a few things I would like to make. I want to make myself shorter DIY cables for my...

Hi there head-fiers, and apologies if this has been done to death already.   I recently got my hands on some used HD600 phones which are sold sans cable. I don't have much of a budget, so I'm looking for a good value cable which may also be used on HD650's should I upgrade in the future.  ...

Hi guys just wanted to enquire about this question, which would provide a more well rounded sound? I've been trying out my hd650s balanced but haven't got the chance to really A/B them with the hd600s, but would appreciate it if anyone could give some impressions on their experiences with these...

My top pair I use right now are the Denon AH-D7000.  They're great for just about all music (including classical) but I sometimes see myself using the HD595's I have every so often to play some classical pieces.  So the simple question is for classical music (no jazz I don't listen to that)...

I'm not suspecting I've been sold outright fakes because the sound quality is still actually good in itself, but I used to own a pair of HD650, and the pair I've bought (2nd hand) now are much brighter - I think on the bright side of neutral. The bass is less, the treble is more and the midrange...

Refers to both mid bass, and, more importantly sub bass.   I'm finding my new version HD650 very deficient in sub-bass - is that normal and are the HD600 equal, more or less in this regard for sub bass?

I believe my 2nd hand bought HD650 have HD600 drivers in them because they sound far too bright to be a true HD650 and the price I got for them may be slightly too good to be true... ($310).   Is there any way of confirming whether or not the drivers are HD600 drivers by looking at them? For...

Basically for me it's currently a toss up between these phones. Naturally there is quite a price difference between them, but audio quality wise how do they compare to each other? I'm leaning towards the D5000 or HD600. Afraid the AK701 might be a bit bass shy for me. Your thoughts would be well...

I'm very close to choosing one of the cans in the title. I've read a bunch of conflicting opinions on the mids between the HD 600 and HD 650, so I'm going to try them out before making a decision. Any input on the mids or sound quality on any of the models would also be greatly appreciated.  ...

Alright, so I've been comparing these two for the past hour.   So far, I'm liking the HD600 quite a bit more. But first, I should start off saying they both sound very similar. Main differences include the HD600 having a larger soundstage, more neutral and balanced sound, and being more...

I was tooling around Ebay when I found these.  There is no brand name or anything like that.  They look nice but looks aren't everything. Has anyone tried them or know someone who has...

I'm in the market for a headphone upgrade, (i only own an ad700 and the monoprice mph 839) and looking mostly at getting either a pair of hd600 or hd650 (or something similar in the price range, mid 300's)   they are and will be powered through an e7/e9 combo, although it is not to be...

Apparently the RS 220 (which is a high-end wireless headphone) sounds like a well driven HD600?   Does that mean it lacks the powerful bass of the HD650?   Has anyone got it and can compare the RS 220 to the HD650?

I thought I read the HD 650 isnt the best for voices, can someone confirm this? 

I am having a very hard time deciding between the hd600 and hd650.  I want to get one and be done with it, don't want to get the 600 and regret not getting the 650.  I see a lot of controversy, there being many people saying the hd600 is better than the 650.   I listen to mostly rock...

I listen to rock mainly, but also some other things such as hip-hop, rap and pop.   My source will mainly be a Macbook pro.   Is the 650 worth the extra $ over the 600?   Also, I need an amp/dac with these. For the amp I was thinking $250ish and then as cheap as possible for the DAC...

Hello guys I am planning my next open headphone purchase. And I am thinking of something withing that price range. (max 400 dollars) What are your guys thoughts about those four(4) headphones? If any help; I am really impressed with the HD555(modded to 595) run from my X-fi Sound card...

Hi all, This will be my first full size headphone purchase. Previously I have owned the following: Sennheiser PX200, CX550, HD239 (after the PX200 broke down) and Shure SE425. I use the HD239 primarily with my computer for watching movies and playing games, and for serious music listening...

I'm looking to upgrade to a better set of headphones and I'm coming from HD555's.  I mainly listen to classical and everywhere I read, people suggest getting the 600's over the 650's.  I was just wondering if someone could go into detail as to why we would choose these over the other.  I dont...

I've always been a IEM person (still enjoying my triplefi 10) and now I'm deciding on purchasing a open full size cans.   I'm mostly enjoying listing to speed metal, hard rock, jrock, jpop and some electronic music.  My current budget is $500   I've been hearing outstanding reviews on...

Has anyone here tried out the Senn Woodies from Headphile.com? I have a pair of HD600s that I absolutely love, and I've been considering getting a pair of wooden cups for them, but I want to be sure it will result in an improvement in sound. I'm looking at the closed cups (either standard or...

If you are on the fence on which to get, I hope this video will help with your buying decision.    

Which one is better with proper amping?
