Well,Sennheiser HD650 comes with a beautiful looking carton which makes it a really precious collection ,but Sound quality is what really matters when it comes to headphones like these .
Sennheiser HD650 is sold as audiophile headphones .They have an open dynamic headphone design.That means they will leak sound ,so not good for a noisy environment and keep in mind that others will be disturbed if volume is too high .

Specifications of these are :
  1. Technical Data
  2. Nominal impedance 300 Ohm
  3. Contact pressure ca. 2,5 N
  4. Weight w/o cable ca. 260g
  5. Jack plug 6,3/3,5 mm stereo
  6. Transducer principle (Headphones) open, dynamic
  7. Ear coupling circumaural
  8. Cable length 3 m
  9. Frequency response (headphones) 10-39500 Hz
  10. Sound pressure level (SPL) 103 dB (1 Vrms)
  11. THD, total harmonic distortion 0,05 %
What’s in the box:
  • ï¶ Headphones
  • ï¶ Detachable cable,
  • ï¶ Adapter
  • ï¶ An instructions manual

Construction: Construction seems good, but it’s not made of metal only .half of it is made of Carbon fiber .According to Sennheiser that helps in lessening the vibrations and makes listening more pleasurable. Who knows? ..hhee
Sound quality

I have used them for around 400 hrs and just after 100 hr bass which was little muffled, got deep and articulate.
Well, These have laid back character with rolled off high, which makes them very pleasurable to listen music with them, as highs are not very harsh on ears.

Bass.I know many people are only concerned about bass and all and I must say they are not very bassy like my DT770 pro 80ohm ,but IMO HD650 are way ahead of DT770 pro 80ohm .Its mid bass is very deep and very well defined ,whereas bass of DT770 Pro 80ohm is very boomy and not defined at all .


Treble: Its treble is really good ,but its highs are little rolled of ,thats the reason they are very smooth sounding headphones and sometime people refer that these have laid back character .

Headphones tried with different Genre's like Classical (western eg Schubert ,Beethoven ) ,Indian Classical (eg Ravi shankar ),Rock linken Park ,Led zeppelin etc,POP,Trance (Ministry of Sounds ,Tiesto etc),Instrumental etc
Burn in
:120hrs

Headphones used with ESI-juli@->MHC-V515 as amp or D NE900 (line out )->MHC-V515

right now I'm looking for an amp and I might go for an tube amp .

Price (MSRP)$599

Price paid $450 :(


WeLL,I posted this review on few forums as well ,and I felt I should this way :clap:

@Stuge

How is Alessandro MS-1 and Grado SR80 when compared to Sennheiser HD650 in music quality?? even though these r in different category.Is an amp necessary for Alessandro MS-1?
 
450 $ cool now where is that video i saw that we can build 130$ noise cancelling headphone on youtube ....

22000 INR is way tooo high man just for headphone...
 
Hey cool you have joined the club of Sennheiser HD650 users on TE.

Now with you in the club it brings us to a grand total of .......... 3 :)

These are amazing headphones though the price you paid is a little high. Where did you buy them from ? I got mine from Jaben for $412 when the $ was about 40 bucks.

Anyways screw what people say about these headphones - they sound lovely and none of them have heard these to appreciate the sound. :eek:hyeah:

I have some nice speakers at home but I have to sit in a single place to enjoy the sweet spot.

With these headphones I am not limited to sitting in one place and Sennheisers are known for being comfortable as well as sounding good and the HD650 are comfortable indeed. One can spend hours listening to them without fatigue thanks largely to the laid back sound and the comfortable fit.

Congrats again ! :hap2:

Oh and if you are looking for a tube amp, I believe the Darkvoice amps have a good synergy with these phones.
 
nice...another audiophile :p

who is going to upgrade to the new HD800's first? ;)
jude from head-fi was overflowing iwht praise for them

darkvoice amps are now available on head-direct also

ignore all the ppl who think paying more than 500 for earphones is crazy :p

now if only i can decide between m5's and re0's
 
hmm... people don't mind shelling out big bucks for speakers but when it

comes to headphones, all hell breaks loose.

Even though headphones give you better audio quality than speakers at any price point and you can use without worrying about neighbours :bleh:

great review, DT 770 and senn 650 interesting combo u got..:hap2:

may be next time from AKG/ATH lineups ;)
 
Well, I spent about twice that on cables and interconnects for my home setup, so I'll say that's a good deal :) My car is about five years old and till it falls apart, I'm not upgrading - I might even downgrade. Horses for courses.

Good pictorial, would have a loved a little more systemic and detailed review though. I still think headphones and speakers have their own place, and I for one can't listen to headphones for longer than half an hour, extremely uncomfortable both physically and aurally. Enjoy your purchase, and don't worry about the naysayers. You deserve to splurge on yourself, let no one tell you any different.
 
OMG!

I 'm really delighted with the response now I got ..lol

Sorry for the late replay .I was little busy in college activities hehe .

@-=Unreal=:I can't comment on MS1,but Grado is too forward for my taste .It is really nice ,but sound stage is something I crave for usually .

@nukeu666:Well ,I feel HD800 will be a dream addition ,but right now I will make full of HD650 and DT770 pro .Maybe I will get a headphone excess of $1000 after 3 or 4 years from now on ,but right now will stick to these .

@BF1983:I got these here in India directly from the distributor .
 
Congrats for the purchase.Simple and nice review there.

I have to say that you are so gutsy to open 450USD Headphones.I have taken the Atrio M5 and dying to protect them. I think you should be a bit more careful man....

Enjoy the quality.........
