Hi all,
I own a HD650, I like the sound, it is comfortable, durable, and yes, I like it. But for some music I would like something with most and foremost a bit more bass and if possible a little bit bigger stage.
Is there anything available for reasonable money? It can be open but closed is not a no go. It should also be durable and comfortable to wear. It should not have too much treble though.
Amplification is here.
Would be really happy to hear any recommendations or experiences you made in that direction
An important to ask with the HD650s or the HD6XXs is what setup you're using. From what I've gathered online, that makes all the difference. I've got the HD6XXs, driving them (sometimes) with my BTR5 but mostly with my FiiO M11. The M11 does an adequate job, but like you, that sound stage isn't amazing. I noticed what it could be when I tried the HE4XX with my M11, which are a pair of easier to drive cans, and they had better sound stage. All of that to say, consider getting a more powerful DAC/amp before switching headphones.
