I find the overall balance to be quite similar, structurally. What I am referring specifically to is the rolled off upper register that the HD650 has. I think the HD650 is relatively untextured, but it's much easier to discover new detail in it compared to the P5.
I actually find the P5 to carry a lot of texture and detail throughout the register, but not in an easily accessible way; this is more what my comparison to it as a sort of "HP1" style sound entails. The P5 is a bit slow and plodding at times and excels primarily with vocal stuff where its ability to resolve sounds does an excellent job in making voices sound natural.

Does the comment above ("little HD650s") imply that these have the full range sound of the HD650s? From everything I've read so far on this thread, it really seems like the P5s are lacking in high end detail, and the HD650s have plenty of high end detail.
