I was recently able to hear a set of 600's with the wood cup things on them from audiophile.com. Considering getting them for my 650s but I dont know anyone around here that has such a pair (unless someone here from the seattle area has the 650 woodies and would let me listen to them

) so ill go on other peoples opinions.

How do/would they sound?

Well, Larry of headphile.com doesn't live to far from you, why not go visit and find out for yourself?

I've recently came across a few woodies from Headphile and am working on some impressions. I like the 650 with both wide and narrow cups. I give you more feed back in a week or so.

they sound great! no more 'boring' sound and 'veil', they bring you up to the stage...

Every time I think I've reached some sort of conclusion I hear something that changes my mind.

2 zu's, 2 black & silver.

Early impressions? I like them all. I think the wood has improved the sound of each of them. I think the easiest way of describing the sound change for me is going from an outdoor concert to a large concert hall or a smaller hall depending on which cup you have on.

More later, I have to get back to listening.

Driving them balanced does much the same thing, see my relevant thread for more...

If you want high fidelity, stay away from this mod! You can just as well switch any effect device into the signal path. The closed back doesn't even make a closed headphone out of the HD 6xx: the baffle is still open. The whole «benefit» is the addition of reflected sound to the original sound. Well, if you're bored by neutrality and like excitement, you may want to do this mod anyway...

You should get yourself some SR-225's or MS-2's

I concur however when I had the 225s I missed the 650s smoothness and balanced nature.
