[the search never ends]

Are you trying to say those of us that love the HD650, have some kind of consenus going? This can't be, it's probably against the headfi TOS.  But you can dream if you want

  Like you I prefer natural over neutral (then again, that probably goes for anyone in an HD650 appreciation thread

)

Can you guys tell me the main differences between the HD 600 and the HD 650, im considering buying the HD 650s, thanks.

Main difference - HD650 are tonally tilted warmer.  HD600 more neutral in signature.  I thought the HD600 more of an all-rounder.

If both are new silver screened versions, the differences are very small. The main would be an unnatural 3-5khz hump on the 600.

Is there any differences in the lows between the hd650 and the hd600? Thanks

Yes, the HD650 has a mid-bass hump that gives it a weightier tone. The HD600 is closer to having a strictly neutral bass.

Thanks guys, im coming from selling my Q701s, to bright for my ears, now im looking at the 600 or 650 HD.  I like the sound of the warmer 650, man its not easy finding the right set of cans.

Too bad I just sold off my HD650s to someone a day ago (which I may deeply regret). You live quite close to me.

Yeah i see your in So Cal to, Im in Anaheim.  I found some on ebay, but not sure if to get the 600 or 650.

how can i tell if my HD650's are the new version?
 

 

[jtaylor991]

Look through the grilles and if the thing (forgive me I don't know what it's called ) shines silver on the inside it's the new version, if it's dark/black then it's the old
