If you look through the grills, the drivers should look a light colour. The old ones are black.
Gotcha. That's a great way for me to be 100% sure. Thanks!

has anyone here had their 650s professionally calibrated by sonarworks?

just wondering if you're happy with the outcome
I have the SonarWorks plug-in but I prefer the HD 650 sound just the way it is - no equalization needed.
So you have this plugin for your computer but what good is it when most computers sound like crap for quality music? My Fiio X3II sounds better than my laptop and my desktop. This plugin won't work for my portable device. It means I'm tethered to the computer. Also, they don't have a profile for PSB headphones. So again, useless.
if you want any headphone calibrated to what Sonarworks decided to define as their target, you can send the headphone to them and they'll do a custom calibration.So you have this plugin for your computer but what good is it when most computers sound like crap for quality music?

Agree with others who have noted the Sennheiser 650s can be exceptional when mated with the right front end/amplification. The 650s and 600s tend to be warm enough to be called "dark" by some, but with good amplification and a tonally honest front end they're fantastic.
Just because it doesn't work for you in your situation doesn't make it useless. Most people use computers and USB as their source and connection.
