Sennheiser HD 650 - Audiophile Hi-Res Open Back Dynamic Headphone

Wanted to buy a decent pair of open backs for the first time to use for mixing. Did a lot of research, read a lot of reviews, and all the great things stated about these were correct. They produce sound as though you are sitting in the middle of a concert hall. Every nuance in the recordings can be heard. Very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. I can see and HEAR why these are considered the standard in recording environments.

No surprise, they sound amazing for $300. Warm sound with great

Best headphone I ever had. I was surprised that I had reasonable sound even on a Samsung S7.

Looking for a headphone to replace some well reviewed but tiring Grados. The hd600 offer a greater sense of space, and convincing soundstage. They still have bags of clarity and dynamic ability. The round the ear design is very comfortable.

Cuffie veramente spettacolari, ottime come cuffie di riferimento per chi ci lavora ed a chi piace ascoltare musica con le cuffie , anche se deve essere pazzo perchè la musica va ascoltata sullimpianto.

parto dalla fine: sono un prodotto incredibilmente ben suonante, comode, fresche (anche a 40 gradi, come oggi), perfettamente bilanciate sonicamente, le metti in testa e spariscono, rimane solo la musica, faccio fatica ad analizzare in dettaglio il suono perché mi distraggo a riscoprire la musica già ascoltata, ma mai così....

These two brands/models were the ones I was most interested in for the price.

Ive heard a lot of cans and these are the best headphones for the money, period! I am running them through a Marantz HD-DAC1 and they are awesome. The sound stage is so big and open. They have a very warm and non tiring sound. I listen to a wide variety of music and everything sounds superb! Listening to all of my old favorites from the 1970s is like hearing them all new and different. You hear everything exactly as it was produced and recorded! There is just a little drawback to this because you hear everything...even little artist and recording errors. The treble and midrange is so real...close your eyes and you are at a live show! Some reviews on these put them as a little lacking in low end. Dont let those ones fool you! These are part of my bedroom 2.1 set up and when upping the volume I actually have take them off to make sure the speakers and subwoofer is off. You feel the bass in your chest. These are a 300ohm headphone so if used without adequate power they probably would not have the big tight and punchy bass as they have with a good quality high power headphone amp. A good headphone amp paired with these will make them sing! If you have both you will be a very happy listener!

Love them, use them as my daily driver. They have a great sound and feel very comfortable. Im an amateur audiophile so I wouldnt be able to attest to the prics to sound quality ratio, but I did like them more than my previous pairs of Audiotechnica ATH-M50s and Beyerdynamics DT 770 PRO (250 ohms). I happen to use my headphones with an amp, but am unsure whether it is needed for a great quality.

Fantastic headphones, I have paired these with the bravo ocean tube amp connected to my PC with using onboard audio (Realtek ALC 1220) which is a modified ROG supreme FX chip. I must say Im more than satisfied by the results. The soundstage is excellent in movies and games and listening to music using Lossless HI-FI from TIDAL is impressive and very detailed.
