The dt 48 has little bass, but it does sound like reality and fruity and when i mean fruity well it does not sound like it has a veil and compared to reality sounds just like it plus on some tracks i have played and compareing the hd 650 since the bass goes deeper towards the dt 48, the dt 48 can have punchy mid bass if you have it on loud and vibrate your head.
 
If your very fussy about headphones and want it just right i'd go with the dt 48 and you won't be disappointed except the bass.
 
I love my dt 48.
 
Just sounds like reality, you have to hear them your self very clear not muffled like the hd 650 even though i do like the bass of the hd 650 but i keep reaching for the dt 48.

Not sure I did this or not.
1. Original NAGRA DT48S 5 ohm
2. Fraken DT48e 200 ohms
3. 1951 DT48 5ohm
4. DT48e 8ohm
 
I will leave it as that.. I might sell 4 (I need a HD800 before I die!) of them since the NAGRA's give me everything I could want out of a DT48..
 
On a side not.. the 650 are great cans, & are a great compliment to the DT48

Sony MDR-CD-870 Headphones
I love these even after 11-12 years. Smooth clean and uncolored sound. They fit like a glove and are able to be worn at hours on end. What more do you want? These get to be in the number two slot after being my favorites for ever.
 
 
AKG k701 Headphones
These are great for vocals but seem to have too little bass for rock. I have a love/hate ate relationship that started 1.5 years ago and still goes on. I would not ever be able to sell them so the war goes on. These go into the number three slot after the crazy love hate relationship!
 
 
Denon AH-D 7000 Headphones
I knew these were it after only 30 seconds in my system. The best for me. These are number one and will always be an amazing piece of art in my life. They show me stuff I have never heard before. The smooth rendition today of 24/96 record rips once again proved with out question these are keepers.
 
 
Bose On-Ears
I will not even rate these. I have them as an alternative pair to leave the house with. They are stupid and fun.
 
Bose In-Ears
Even after no much hate I read here about Bose, these are my main portables. They will not be rated. They are stupid and fun.
 
RE0
I found these to be the equivalent of the AKG 701ks in potable fashion. I will not rate these. They are again cool for a balanced replay on the road. They offer a great value.
