Rather than the lcd-3, you might want to look at the Hifiman Edition X. It's trickle-down tech from the He1000 for a lower price. I've heard the 1000 and liked it quite a bit better than the audezes, and the Edition X are basically a less expensive version.
I listen to a lot of Megadeth, Metallica, Mastodon, Ozzy, Opeth, Rush, Vai, Satriani and Van Halen. When I tried the 650's, I was coming from the Momentum over-ear model, and to me the 650's just couldn't compete. The Bass was better on the Momentums. The presence and treble were also superior, imo. I just feel like the 650's are outclassed by a lot of other headphones. For a diffferent flavor, I freaking love the Beyer T1's with an OTL amp.
I heard Queen who are a good example of music I don't like (no offence meant) on HD650 with a cardas blue cable through a Sony cd player hp output in Seoul at Yongsan Electronic Market and I thought they were great but only had enough cash on me for an AT amp and the HD600s. The Senns sound great with 'air' around them but otherwise it's too much for them.Dunno if it's been discussed here but how are the Senn aluminium cup HD25s with metal?
