If you like the 530s the 650s seem to be consensus circumural equivalents, so good choice. You can drive them well enough out of most receivers but they will benefit greatly if you add a dedicated headphone amplifier later. Forget about the iPhone for the650s though; use the 530s on the road, and a Dock connection to your receiver to the 650s at home.

My question is, will my phillips cd source and yamaha rx v440 receiver will be enough to drive the hd 650s or do they need further amplification? Other question is can i drive them on iPhone, or theres no portable amp to get the best out of them on an iPhone? Thanks in advance! |
