Since I've never heard the HD59x, 580 or 6xx, but I do use my HD25-1 almost daily I voted 'other'.

The HD595 is a very good headphone, period.

The HD-650 can in direct comparison be a bit of an acquired taste to some un-introduced I would think. But once you have got over the first impression of where did the sound go, they open an entirely different soundstage. The concert hall opens up and you are surrounded by a relaxed, grand, airy and perhaps a bit dark sound. Not dark in the sense of a rolled off treble, mind you. I vote for the 650, but then I have not heard any other of the Senns, besides the 595, in the poll.

I like the sound of the HD580 for classical, too boring for anything else. But I also find them hideous to look at, so I voted for HD600 (hoping to get one of these in a few months)

Definitely the HD580 as the sound is 99% the HD600 but the cost is USD$139 to USD$145 new from CompuPlus.com. Probably the best bang for the buck factor there is headphones.

I'm also a fan of the HD580/600/650 sound..hence my vote for this series..

 

[Wmcmanus]

HD650/Zu Mobius or HD650/Moon Audio Silver Dragon, depending on my mood. This represented a big improvement (to my ears) to the HD600/Cardas or HD600/Equinox.

And , of course, the HE-90/HEV-90 is Sennheiser's crowning achievement. So much so that they still drag it around to European meets to show it off even though it is long out of production (save the recent HE-90 one-off production run).

Ooohh wow thats a very good price. If I can't find used HD600s for that price, I'll be ordering from them, bookmarked the site, thanks

 

[amartignano]

Voted "other", as I like the vintage Sennheiser sound (HD424, HD410, I hope one day to find an HD414

)

bye

I like the HD595 HD600 HD650 HD25-SP and HD25-1.

 

[BigD]

I voted HD580 for its blockbuster value and HD650 for its swiss knife versatility.

 

[go_vtec]

I voted for HD650. Cables do alter their sound, but not as much as source and amp. I'm quite happy with stock cables

For your sake, DO NOT ORDER FROM COMP-U-PLUS.

Just read the first page of reviews. Not a company you want to trust your money to.

I voted for the hd600. It is my classical music headphone, I use it for this purpose exclusively, because it is the best headphone for classical music. Although, I think that the Sennheiser 580/600/650 family represents the best value in headphones, period. You get the most value for the dollar spent!

wow ... less than 2 month gone and now lou has 595 as his avatar ? this is not the headfi i knew ! =) j/k

voted 650 for absolute pleasure, 595 for more of that forward sweet vocal and 580 for fun.

 

[Skylab]

HD650:

Comfort - A
Treble - A
Midrange - A+
Bass - B+

A great can overall. I prefer my Headphile Darth Beyers, because I like my bass really strong and really deep. But the HD650's are my reference can for midrange.

Thanks for that. I guess I'll either ask Headroom for a price match or risk buying form Compu-Plus since AMEX has always been tops with dealing with shady e-tailers. Still hoping I find a used HD600 though, I just love the paint work/grills on it
