somebody who can get a photo or just take a look at their hd 650 without earpads, please..i need your help. I think that fabric around the driver is attached kinda roughly - on my hd 555 it glued-in with much more accuracy. So-is it normal with hd 650 or it's a defective pair??? Post pics of yours if you can.

Normal. Ill post some pics later.

Judge from the sound, not the looks.

^^Ok, i'm just curious about bbuilt quality, can you assist here? You have the 650...

I'm not very impressed with the internal build quality of the HD650. I've had to open both sides already because the driver popped out of the "holder". It's not even glued, just clicked into the plastic. Even a small shift is already audible and very irritating. I'm thinking of superglueing them in place. Anyone has experience with this?

NO I have never had nor heard of problems like this. They have a 5 year warranti you should send them back.

^ 5 year is for the 600 only. HD650 is a 2 year.

the HD600 is way better made than 650.

No.

Someone might have taken it off and glued it back. *cough* I did. There's a little more bass quantity now but I suppose there's a tradeoff in control too.

^Why the hell would you super glue your pads on? Now you cant replace them...

 

[cherepashka]

One more thing-let's post HD 650's serial numbers, that you can find under the earpad-on the inner side. Here's mine - 25836352

And a picture:

One driver popped out of its place on my HD650. This was only because I dropped them. Luckily nothing else happened. I noticed the difference in sound immediately. Well I took them to my local Sennnheiser service. It was Friday and he had some headphones in line but he immediately knew what was wrong with my HD650. I was afraid that I'd have to leave them there and wait for a long time but no. He quickly opened the grill and pressed the driver back in. After that he put tiny drops of some superglue there so it'd never pop out again. He put glue on the other side also. My HD650 aren't even bought from Finland but from Germany. He only took a copy of my receipt and everything was ok. No payments for me. Of course I had warranty left on them. They were so tiny drops that it was hard to even notice them. Anyway I was extremely satisfied with this whole process. This must be the best or at least one of the best customer service experience I've had.

This had absolutely no effect on the sound quality. Same sweet sound signature of HD650 before and after glue.

I heard that Elmer's glue gives better bass....
