Beyond expectations!

The sound is amazing and the comfort is superb. I was not expecting that they were designed to allow the listener to hear through the earphones to what is going on around them. This is perfect for me and means I can wear them for extended periods of time and not constantly be pulling on them to hear...

Sennheiser HD 650

An unusual feature of the Sennheiser HD 650 headphones is that the cables can be unplugged for easy replacement should the conductors ever fracture under physical stress in future years. They are quite thick cables, too, and three metres long, terminating in a 6.5mm plug.
Pros:
  • Superb no-compromise sound
  • Very comfortable to wear
  • Main plug is 6.5mm
  • replaceable cable ensures long life
Cons:
  • Sensitivity too low for some MP3 players

HD 650's are pure joy!!

I have used a variety of Sennheiser products over the years, always impressed with their combination of form and function. These are the most comfortable headphones I have ever used, very good if you spend long hours "in the cans".

Sennheiser HD 650

We approached Sennheiser's top headphones, the HD 650, with high expectations, as word of mouth for the product has been overwhelmingly positive. The headphones certainly look the part; the HD 650s' luxurious feel, the thickly padded headband and ear cushions, and the titanium-silver finish leave no...
Pros:
  • High-tech styling
  • Extraordinary bass response
  • Extremely comfortable design
Cons:
  • They're heavy and very pricey
  • Ill suited for use with the iPod

Sennheiser HD-650

The HD-650's are incredible headphones. They are entirely musical, and that is the very best compliment I can give them. I can wear them for hours, and they are physically comfortable, as well as easy on the ears musically. They are very detailed, but not in an obvious, contrived way.
Pros:
  • Unbelievable clarity
  • very transparent
  • flat frequency response
  • very musical and detailed
Cons:
  • Almost too transparent to source, AC power, and wiring
  • Absolutely requires a good headphone amp

You can tell these hardy Sennheiser veterans mean business. Metal construction gives a vice-like fit on your dome and speaks of their ineffably high-end sonics. You'll need an adaptor to plug them into an iPod; these are built to be part of a nice little home hi-fi set-up.
Pros:
  • Sound is flat-out the best here
  • Across a full gamut of musical styles the HD 650s serve up smooth, subtly conveyed sound, but when you want them to kick out the jams, these metal mothers don some large-style boots.
Cons:
  • The open-backed design leaks sound like a sonic sieve, so these are totally unsuitable for wearing on the tube, unless you enjoy "chin music" courtesy of your fellow passengers
  • Given that they're thus intended for long, immersive home-listening sessions they could also be more comfortable.
