  • Yes, get the 650! They’re the jack of all trades in the amazing HD 600 tier line of Sennheiser!
Style: HD 650
These are a part of “knights of the round table” headphones. Let me get something straight — there is no one perfect pair of headphones. It’s a curse to the wallet but yet it’s a blessing in the sense that headphones are a magical journey of taking two of your senses (hearing and touch) to whole new levels you may never experience by simply just by being in it. With so many headphones out there, there’s that many ways to explore audio and more! Exciting, right? I am an audiophile and have a room dedicated to my headphones as well as listening. Audio is an incredible passion of mine and I want to share my take on these 650s! 1: So, Sennheiser is among the crem-de-la-crem (pardon the spelling) of headphone producers. 2: Sennheiser is a great brand to get into headphones when you’re new to it. It’s also got great value for performance. You honestly can’t go wrong with them. 3: If you’re on a budget and can really only afford to just have that one or two pairs of headphones. The Sennheiser 650’s are a jack of all trades with its sound profile. They are a definite buy for sure! Paired with a Khadas Tone Board and JDS Labs Atom, you can have a pretty top tier, affordable setup. For real sides! 4: These work well with so many different types of DACS and amps. I personally pair them with THX789’s from Mass/Drop, Khadas Tone Board, or my Okto Research 8’s. The THX 788 made by Monoprice is a nice combo DAC/AMP. 5. In terms of the Sennheiser line, there’s the boss tier (not necessary at all to own) like 800 and 820s. There’s the studio recording line denoted by PRO. There’s the lower end with the 598 and below. The 600 range (where these headphones sit at) is the sweet spot of excellence. If you want a bass-y emphasized performance, go with the 58X from Drop.com. They’re the resurrected Jubilees which are an updated, updated version of the HD580s. These are super solid, great for listening for long periods. You can’t go wrong. You can plug these into a device without an amp and get great volume. If you want super duper separated sound with ridiculous detail with more revealing performance in the highs and mid/highs, the 600s are your go to headphones! They’re very objective (an audiophile term generally meaning “as-is” or “unemphasized” as possible). With the wrong setup, they can sometimes even be a little sibilant. The 650s are truly the Goldilocks of the HD600 line. These emphasize the mids much more than the others. It’s often considered a sin by some audiophiles to use EQ functionality to adjust the sound. I can say that the 650s are at that point where they can be lightly EQ-ed to offer more bass and treble response. Now, onto the last thing that I think is important to mention — these have been replaced and succeeded by the Sennheiser 660s. They’re a worthy successor to replace the 650s. They are pretty close in frequency response. However, the upgrade comes with the comfort (clamp force) and the consistency of the drivers to produce frequencies. What does that translate to? - The HD660s really do a good job of sounding good with vocals, slightly less warm, and sound good without a lot of readjustment on your ears. They’re on the brighter side than the HD650. The brightness is a personal preference kind of thing. For some, they might like this for classical music. For some, they may find themselves hitting user fatigue sooner than the 650. My opinion: The HD650 are still my go despite the update with the 660s. I think that the 660s is wonderful but I prefer to stick the HD650s because of their versatility. I can listen to them for hours! It’s a great starting spot for audiophile tier headphones that will always, always be my daily headphones for all kinds of music. They’re also a great starting spot as well as a great spot to end on. Additionally, I would check out the Sundara by Hifiman if you’re wanting to explore planars. They’re very much like the 650s of planar headphones. Enjoy and happy listening! :) ... show more

  • Headphone comparison between HD 540 and HD 650
Style: HD 650
Of all the headphones I have used and/or owned in my life, my favorites are my pair of Sennheiser HD 540 phones. I have some very good AKGs and so on, but the HD 540s are so noticeably superior to my ears that I always come back to them, and if I plan to listen critically or for a long period of time, I always try to use that pair. Recently, I wanted to have ANOTHER pair of 540's so that I don't have to keep moving the first pair back and forth to other ends of my house. I could find some used 540s on eBay, but they all seemed banged up or of questionable condition, and usually still quite expensive. I looked at the current Sennheiser fleet, but it was difficult to figure out what might be most equivalent to the HD 540. I finally engaged Sennheiser directly, and asked what they had that was essentially the 'new' 540. Their answer was the HD 650. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get it from Amazon for about $300, because I think it lists close to $500. These are clearly nice headphones, and Sennheiser adds a nice touch of packaging these phones in a rather deluxe box that practically oozes "wow" when you unbox them. Ultimately this is not very valuable, since I doubt that most people will want to keep the phones in that box, and it will just get thrown away. I find the head strap to be quite comfortable, and comparable to my 540's. The appearance of the 540 and 650 is comparable, both in terms of details, finish and color. As with the 540's, these 650's are OPEN BACK phones, so they are not a good choice if part of your goal is to keep the music from being heard by other people in the room. But they do have an amazing 'open' sound that makes the listener think they are just listening somewhere in space, and NOT wearing headphones. Clarity, imaging, depth, etc; are all excellent. Unlike some of the better AKG phones I use, these 650's don't have any apparent coloration, and seem to be about as natural sounding as one could ask for. While these phones don't have much weight, I personally find them to be a bit less comfortable on the head then my 540's feel. This is primarily due to the design of the ear cup pads. On the 540's, these were firm yet soft, and while they sealed well to the head they seemed to exert almost no pressure and they remained comfortable even after hours of use. The pads on these 650's are of a different design, more like a stiff foam in their head feel. They are not uncomfortable, but even after they are broken in, I doubt that they will ever feel as comfortable as my 540's were and are. These phones do seem to require a decent amount of power to drive them adequately, and they might not perform as well if driven from less capable sources. I have only used my 540s and these 650's on stereo receivers and integrated amplifiers. I have not tried using them on computers, MP3 players, etc. The phones do that the common feature of actually having an 1/8" plug, but with an included 1/4" outer adapter that surrounds the smaller plug, so they CAN be plugged into the small equipment. My experience with my 540's when I tried running them from my portable MP3 player was not good....they suddenly sounded tinny and vague and without definition. I fully expect that these 650's will be the same way (and comments and reviews I have read indicate that other people have already verified this through their experiences). But with all the compromises one lives with when using the MP3 format, trying to use a premium set of headphones with those sources is rather silly anyway; these are for serious and/or professional listening, where the source will not be MP3 and you will have a high quality headphone output to power them. ... show more
