HD650 till death
HD650.
Likewise.
Why?
Nostalgia..... It all started with the HD650 for me.
HD280 PRO
I have the following headphones:
Sennheiser HD280 PRO(Old version)
Sennheiser HD650
Ultrasone HFI-680
Shure SRH-940
I also recently ordered the Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b
Interesting. I love my HD650s, but they lack detail, have a funky imaging problem, and at times have a veiled sound for certain types of music. I love my HD650s for small combo Jazz and Bossa Nova. I like my HD600 for most other genres of music especially classical. But, when I got my HD800S and properly amped it up, I listen to them far more than the HD650 and HD600.HD650. And this is from someone that owns Utopia, Clear, Elex, Stax 007 and L700 in various vintages, and a ton of other stuff besides. HD650 sees 90% of the head time and is ideal for daily listening.
If I had to take a second headphone, I'm actually not sure, The Utopia, SR-007, and L700 all make a pretty good case for themselves. But they wouldn't see the majority of head time as long as HD650 was around. However there are times when 650's technicalities aren't enough and you want something better, so it's good to have variety.
