Holy crap, just realized that the HD650 shipped from Florida. I ordered it yesterday, and it's already here to be delivered. It wasn't even an Amazon Prime listing. Free 1 day shipping!
Anything with an 8 or higher are basically the same in positional accuracy. I have said this a MILLION times on this thread, point scores should NOT be compared.
10's and 9s are reserved for headphones that suck out immersion/fun for raw detail performance. It doesn't make them better, it just makes them all about competitive gaming. Absolutely zero distraction or real enjoyment, since it's just a pure focus on mids and highs, with a longer, more expansive soundstage, thinner body, and more air. I'm pretty certain that I wouldn't ever rate a headphone near perfect on both fun and competitive.
I'll take a headphone with an 8 if the fun is on par or better, because they will do everything well.
Ideally, people should look at whatever is at least an 8 on both, IMHO. Of course, I have specific tastes, so YMMV.
Never said they werent good for gaming. i said they werent the BEST for gaming.
Competitive: 10/10 (Basically Perfect)
Competitive: 8/10 (Great)
2 point gap is enough to concern me.
