You can use XM3 in wired and *power on* mode (use it like a hd650), then the bass is not boosted. Think some the boosted bass is to make the NC more effective? Also, Sony 1000XM3 is a low impedance so it can easily and happily run by any smartphone directly from the headphones output.Those two answers make perfect sense and I got similar on another forum. Thank you both for your answers I appreciate it! Happy Winter Season!
For the Sennheiser hd650, is a high impedance 300ohm headphones, meaning it cannot be drive by any smartphones headphones output. Some may claimed some smartphone can drive it but they never drive hd650 to sound normally. Using hd650, you will have to use your smartphone/dap, couple them with a headphone amp in order to make ihd650 sing.
