I suggest you play them a while longer using pink noise. Also note that kwkarth who wrote the thread about modifying the 650's wrote somewhere in that thread that the mods were for the 650 only and definitely should not be tried with the other Pro's (he specifically mentioned the 2500) because they are completely different headphones. At one point he wrote about first listening to the other Pro's and then, if necessary, doing a mod. So far, I haven't read anything about a mod on the other Pro's from him. You might want to write to him and ask if he ever listened to the other Pro's and if he found a mod necessary.
I really think your amp is part of the reason why the 650's sounded so strange to you. Have you ever tried them with a different amp or direct from an integrated amp? After this much burn-in time, it would be interesting to find out how they sound to you from a different source.
I have heard the 650's, enough to make some judgements about their sound but I have definitely heard the 750's a great deal more. I prefer the 750's. None-the-less, I liked the sound of the 650's (extensive burn-in time is extremely important with both the 650 and the 750) and I would have never thought to do the mods that kwkarth did on them. He wrote that he found them to be unlistenable without his mods. I have not heard his mods, but I certainly did not find them to be "unlistenable" after they went through some (but not full) burn-in time (without any mods).
