lol the fake marble doesn't look too bad in person. It's tacky in photos though.

Ya I was about to say layoff the fake marble. I'm loving it. 
 
Moments I fell in love with the HD600: climax of Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead and basically the entire Random Access Memories album by Daft Punk.

I didn't say it looked "bad" but it looks marbley. haha.  I actually liked it a lot more when I received it then from the photos like you say, but it still has a, shall we say "unique" appearance. haha  Not for everyone.

I agree Red Bull. I am a headphone collector and each headphone phone sounds different. Having a HD600 and HD650 does not feel overkill.

For long movie sessions, sometime it's tiring for me to always listen to one headphone. I always find any particular headphone have 'this' frequency that come more often than other thus makes my ears tired. I mean ALL, hd800 included.
That's why calling one headphone have no coloration is BS, only that one have more coloration than others, but complete coloration free, no way.
When I got tired, I switch to, let say 650, ad700, ad2000, my ears will, .... aahhhh, relieved.
In one long serial movie watching can be more than 4 hrs, I can swap over 3-4 headphones depending on mood and recorded movie sound signature.

Finally got my 600s today, let the side by side begin!

HD 650 looks better - THREAD CLOSED
 
Honestly though it does look less silly.
 
I prefer a dark sound after listening to bright headphones, DT990, DT770

I can buy one of these for about 300 dollars new, is that a good deal. Which one would be the better value?

 

[MattTCG]

^^ which one? 600 or 650...

They're both good deals new. Used, it's only a good deal for HD650 and a normal deal for HD600.
 
Neither is the better value because it depends which one you prefer listening to. So an HD650 for $50 is a bad value for me (setting aside the question of reselling it), because I don't particularly enjoy it. I'd rather have the $50 to spend on something I want. Before you ask, I'd buy it if it were $15. A new HD600 at $300 is a good value for me because I'd be willing to pay more. 

 

[whirlwind]

I paid $320 for my HD650.
 
I bought it here on the B/S/T forums....it is in like new condition ......I am very happy with it and I don't feel like I over paid for it at all.

 

[MattTCG]

That's a good price. I paid $380 for mine shipped NIB. I still feel like I got a fantastic deal.

God, same topic back for 4 years.....

600 vs 650 is dealt to death in this site, and only answer is getting both of them.

Lol, this

 

[Fuzziekiwi]

I'm having this trouble right now.
 
I'd like something warmer/darker/thicker than my Q701, but maybe a little less fuller than my 558. 558 sounds a little bloated. I prefer the one that sounds more natural with instruments, especially drums and cymbals, and also excelling with vocals. Also need to have a fun factor of 10 

 
Any advice for HD600 vs 650? I can get both for around the same price. Is one easier to drive than the other? 
 
I listen to:
Modern Synthpop/Electropop
Rock, Alternative, Post-Hardcore
A little bit of classical, and some Drum n Bass
 
One last bit: My listening sessions are LONG, 5+ hours.

^ ^ Perhaps you should go for Philips X1 as it may fulfill most of your requirements.

I'm reading that they are a basshead phone. 
 
EDIT: also seems like that wouldn't be an upgrade, more like a downgrade.
