Really, if you can find a store where you can get a good try out or a headhone meet, that would be your best bet. As you can see from a lot of the replies in this thread, what sounds awesome to one person may sound terrible to someone else. The Sennheisers are a little mellow and laid back compared to the Beyer 880's which may take away from energetic music like rock or metal.. I tried the 880's briefly and probably would prefer them to my HD-600's especially for rock and metal, but I preferred the midrange on the AKG 702 a little bit.
I didn't find that the HD 600 and 650 sounded radically different from each other. I think you would probably be quite happy with the 880's and a good amp.
