lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 If you like the Senn HD-600 and Beyer DT-880 you'll probably like the HD-650. Is it worth it? Well, if you're a "Best Buy" kinda guy then go for the HD-580. If not then the HD-650 is certainly one of the contenders. I kie it but it's sound is differnet from the HD-600. It has more weight, losses the top end brightness of the HD-600, has more legato than the 880, and goes deeper than the 600. My 2¢ In addition the HD650 has less air than the HD600. I have not heard a electrostatic setup before but according to my conversation with the 600 sounds more like a electrostat while the 650 sounds more like a dynamic headphones. Anyway still burning in the headphones...will give it another 300 hrs more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 Specifically? So does the equinox cable swaps easily on to the HD650? Naz, yes it can be easily swapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lengcm 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 It has less air? Bummer. yup less air. If you approach the HD650 as an improvement to the HD600 you will be utterly disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2003 AH ok, that got me thinking, how does it sound compared with the DT150? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shard 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2003 I know for sure that the Cardas, Equinox, Russ Andrews and Zu Mobius (with new connectors) fit the HD650. Of the 4 cables I listed, I like the Equinox paired with the HD650 the best at this point in time. The Zu Mobius has alot of potential but I have not had time to really listen to that pairing.
