UPDATE ON PAGE 3: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/523104/update-don-t-laugh-but-koss-ur40-compared-to-sennheiser-hd650/30#post_7081186
i know i know, these headphones are in waaaaaay different leagues, but i must ask anyway.
i have a pair of Koss UR40 that i am actually enjoying. i like the sound of them quite a bit. the only improvement i'd really welcome would be some added sub-bass. like the stuff below 50hz or so. the UR40's have nice bass quantity, but seem to drop off pretty sharply.
now i look on headphone.com at frequency response graphs and see that the KSC75(same driver as the UR40) is pretty similar to the famed HD650. see below
now, i find this hard to believe, but it looks like the HD650 should sound similar to the KSC75 (or UR40's since it's the same driver), but offer additional bottom end extension. bass quantity looks similar, but extends lower.
can anybody confirm that this is really the case? i would like to finally invest in a worthy headphone, but $350 is a lot for me to drop on headphones.
