Been spending some time with the HD650 after I'd lent them to a family member. Back enjoying them very much. My ideal headphone for study and lying in bed. A wonderful contrast in sound to my other headphones.  
 
It took a while to get used to the clamp at first. However, recently I noticed I prefer the hd650's fit over the T1. The latter is by no means uncomfortable, but it is looser which does not fit my head so well, and I keep needing to adjust. I think I prefer the slightly more snug clamp of the HD650. Having said that, I have no issues with the audio technica headband which many in this forum seem to.

Exactly my experience when I had the T1! Constant re-adjustment every now and then...

There is an easy way to fix the clamping force. Just extend the metal adjustment bands right out and gently bend the metal out. They fit perfect after that and are probably as comfy as my hd800.

 

[James-uk]

Just to add to what I said. Only bend the metal not the plastic and it doesn't have to be much.

Yep, I tried adjust the Senn when I first got it. Don't think I changed anything due to my cautiousness. The clamp loosened sometime between then and the headphones being used. The fit, as I said, is pretty much perfect at the moment

I wish I'd known that before I wasted money on the Qs; ridiculous OTT reviews of Q about the time my HD650s arrived generated an itch that I finally scratched.
Lesson:
If it itches, don't scratch it!

I went the other way. I bought the Q's and really tried to like them but to no avail. I bought the 650 and it's night & day better in every way.

I love how these are so forgiving of bad recordings. They actually make them sound good.

More boomy bass overall, better presence from midbass to midrange (think vocals), more polite treble, less subbass, shallower image/soundstage, making a more intimate feel.

Then it wouldn't be the HD650. Your description kinda fits the HD800 though, you might want to shoot for that.

The HD800 or Beyer T1 are what you're looking for. Which one is better for you?  answer is the HD800 If you prefer the HD600 over DT880, otherwise T1.

Hi all. Due to a new addition to the family, my headphone days are sadly over. I've put my SB'd cap-modded Crack, my HD650s and a couple of tubes (GEC brown base & TS 5998) on eBay UK. They're all pretty cheap. 200 quid for the Crack. 90 for the phones. 40 for the tubes. They've just got to make way. Pretty gutted to be honest as the SB Crack + GEC & E80CC + HD650s are basically the best I've ever heard music but yeah, a bittersweet feeling, I suppose.

I still am a fan of the HD650...Still one of the most tonally accurate cans to my ears.
 
All this talk of the treble being too muted is a load of crap in context to a reality based reference.
 
Of all the headphones I own the HD650 is exacto (the most correct) with treble levels when I reference the percussion and imaging test track....coming from a drumming background with lots of cymbal experience.
 
I can't stand how Senheisser turned its back on THE sound that MADE IT FAMOUS. 
 
The HD600 has the EXACT same strengths and weaknesses as the HD650 in terms of articulation and they sound fundamentally the same to me with only a tiny variance...the difference is easily made up with the volume control or playing a different track.  HD650 in the studio....believe it....very common.
 
HiFiman might have brought this sound over to us poor ass summit fi excluded...Hifiman are fast becoming legends...Robin Hood for us broke asses.  I might check out a pair soon.
