About HD650 Headband Adjustment Mechanism?

[elliot]

Hi everybody. I am curious about the headband sizing adjustment mechanism on the HD650s. Does it have click stops, or does the thin, curved metal part that is connected to the headphone cup just slide in and out of the headband, and tighten up when you pull the cups apart to put them on your head (the same mechanism as the Senn HD265's I once had?) I found that method of sizing to be sloppy and I had to adjust it every time I put them on. This, for me, would be a negative hit to the HD650's attractiveness as a potential headphone.

Click stops are what I seem to remember.

Wearing them now, listening to "ScoLoHoFo" jazz CD (superb recording); click stops.

You got that right! Click stops. Listening to Jimmy Smith "Mood Indigo" Dot Com Blues.

No, you won't see any sliding here. It's click and stop and has very tight feel to it.

I wish they would put a indicator of how many clicks it currently is at ( like the mdr v6 ). Kind of tedious having to count every time I re-adjust the senns.

What if one ear is lower than the other

I adjusted the HD-650 on the day I received them and haven't touched them since.

(The adjustments, I mean... I wear the phones almost every day

)
