The hd600 is around $250 as well. I'm curious to hear the diffErence at home, had a chance to listen to one at a semi loud meet.

don't pass these up at that price...you will regret it!! (peer pressure)

If you're thinking about it before the deal then no brainer. The hd650 offers a unique sound that not many can produce. Even better if you have a tube amp.

Why is this?

Even better than better if you have a Norne Draug 2!

Apparently it's not good enough on its own.

I don't believe in the cable hype but whatever makes you feel better and if money isn't an issue. Otherwise that's $250 to another headphone or iem in my mind!

 

[Eee Pee]

What about the tube amp post you made?

Well, I don't believe in the tube hype either, but the Draug 2 puts the HD650 into a larger venue for me, and I like that! 

 

[Eee Pee]

Tube hype?  What tube hype?
 
Larger venue?  What?

It's been said that the Bottlehead Crack and HD650 is some of the best listening you'll ever experience. I listen to mine in all SS amps and still find it very nice.

Cables is a lot of rip and not a lot gain, imo + ymmv. I did get special pricing on my shaman blessed interconnects though.

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

Nice, maybe I'll DIY something for a lot less and get similar results. Sounds promising!

No need to "believe" in tube hype. Just try them and see if you like them better. They are a different circuit design than solid state, so they can have different characteristics. There's no weird hypothesis to believe or not.
