So I recently purchased a set of HD 650's off the FS forums and boy what a purchase. I know they've been continually reviewed, so I'll do a quick layman's rundown of my opinions.
Immediately comparing to the ATH-A900's I found that the the upper mid, and highs are a lot more natural sounding with much much less cringe. Although comparing the bass, I found them somewhat similar. The open-air feeling is exactly what I needed, I don't think I can go back!
After hours of headtime for the 650's I switched to the A900's immediately and found the mids and highs of the A900's very very bland and flat.
Overall it over-satisfies my hype and still amazes me how well it sounds. And a few photos for the ones who don't like to read:
