Listening to music establishes a spiritual unison between the artist and the listener by means of sound, and such formal-cerebral preoccupations are ultimately just an intruder taking from the virtue and value of the time you spend listening to music. |

Originally Posted by spike33 To me, there's no comparison, HD650 has bass as tight as DT880, just more of it, but not so much it gets in the way of the music. HD650 has much more body in the mids and feel more involving than DT880. Treble is up to preference, I don't really care as long it is not fatiguing, which both aren't. |

I found the dt880 were sort of analytical and the hd580's more fun sounding. |
The dt880 do have the bass yet it's not as "visceral" as the hd580. |
