They are both still on Sennheiser USA, and appear to be in production.

600: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/over-ear-headphones-highest-quality-headphones_004465
 
Is there a more credible source of the rumors than a cnet page?
 
By the way, these two pages reveal that Sennheiser USA thinks of the HD600 as having the highest quality, compared to the mere high quality HD650.
 
They also make a strage distinction between over-ear and around-ear headphones.

Not better just different 600 has more treble making it more neutral but 650 is focussed on bass and mids making it more musical.

^ this. Please continue with this fail thread.

I have contacted Sennheiser Germany before and they told me they had no plans of stopping production of either model anytime soon. Don't believe the bogus rumors.
 
I bet the rumor was started to drive prices up for new and used ones. I have seen this happen a few times in the past with other stuff besides headphones.

^This.
 
I also like the -39490.0 Hz freq. response.

@Wildstar I'm not sure if it makes a big difference at those frequencies

Had to do a double take on the thread title. Fall from grace? Makes sense now since it's 5 years old.

Kinda funny actually. Since Sennheiser did the exact opposite of the thread title.

The real funny thing is that it is 5 years later and you can still buy both the 600 and 650. 
 
Sometimes you gotta take Head-Fi'ers with a grain of salt

Give up on the HD600 '90s marbled aesthetic? I think not

 

[mysticstryk]

This thread is really going somewhere.
