Feeling a bit bittersweet about shipping out my 650s tomorrow... I (most likely) will be back

Didn't know that was a thing (?)
Must try it.

This made me actually lol. Let us know how that goes!

LOL. 
 
A new fetish we're only just hearing about?

Been there done that....in the end...this is a great all round headphone.

Received mine today, and it's such a nice headphone, fantastic sound and probably even better than I remembered. I got my first one about a year ago, I used it for half a year but it was my first serious headphone I owned and I liked it a lot but I wanted to try some others too, and also I kinda wanted an even more neutral sound. Since then I've tried plenty of other headphones (some other Sennheisers too but I didn't much like them) and some headphones I really liked but they still kinda missed that little extra something that makes it an enjoyment to listen to, and for me that extra something is exactly what the HD650 has.
I use it with an Asus STU dac/amp (it's like a baby-Essence One), and it sounds pretty damn good on high gain. I do notice the high frenquencies need a little burn-in time to calm down a little to sound a little bit more open and detailed, but okay so far I've used the HP for maybe one hour

Congratulations. It only gets better.

Got mine today too.  Bought them unheard from a local Craigslist ad with only 50 hrs use. I love the sound, if these are considered dark then consider me a darkie! Haha
 
I do find them a tad closed in, what is considered full break in time? How many of you are using a aftermarket cable? Im considering a Wywires Red aftermarket cable. Im using a Channel island stack with VHP-1 and VAC-1 with Chord 2 Qute.

Its true that they don't have that big of a soundstage in the beginning. I'm still breaking mine in too. 
 
Concerning the cable I'm using a monster cable dipped in onions and coated with marshmellow bits sprinkled with super conductive peanut butter (crunchy), it really brings forth the mids, and makes the highs slightly more recessed....

You should dip it in maple syrup so it will be sweet and smooth.

The stock cable sounds very good. I prefer it to the Cardas Cross and Alpha Design Labs.

Ahhh non-believers, well Ive got some maple syrup.

Don't forget Jazz at the Pawnshop too. First time I've ever 'heard the room'

 
Thank you infinite amounts for bringing this album to my attention @SirMarc!
 

 
How I never heard of it before is beyond me, but I've sure been listening to it (on the HD650s of course, ODAC/cMoyBB combo) since reading your post yesterday. Just so cool. And to think I normally don't even like jazz. Or maybe I do, and I've just been listening to the wrong kind of stuff? Anyway... listening again!
 

 
(if you have any other tips... I'm all ears, so to speak)

I second that...as a matter of fact that would be an interesting poll to do. How many people have sold their HD650/HD600 only to buy another pair within the year. I think you would see a LOT of raised hands.

I'll bet only about 50% would admit the truth. LOL
