Sennheiser HD 650 4-stars Reviews

Great Sounding

Sound is very good though I would not recommend mixing a song entirely on them. Quality is decent but the connection from the wire to the headphones is quite flimsy, though still work after a few months use. Overall very good.

Neutral with a hint of dulling but narrow in the head sound stage

Auditioned with classical & opera genres. I found the sound realistic/ neutral (e.g. high notes, complex orchestral, clapping etc.). Base instruments lacked the absolute lows but remained realistic within that spectrum. However for me the lack of soundstage was a major issue.

My daily headphones

Use them attached to scarlett 2i.

Really good sound quality

Very reliable

Using headphones for mixing, at the moment, (coupled with sonarworks) and they are a great solution if you can't work in an acoustically treated environment!

They need some help in the sub area, wich can be an issue if you are mixing heavy bass pieces, but They absolutely shine on the mid range! i'm very happy with this purchase

Good, not perfect

These headphones are really famous and a lot of people recommend them--that's why I bought them for mixing. I wouldn't say they are perfect, my expectations were higher, but still, I not regret buying them: nevertheless, it's a GOOD choice. I use them with my UAD Apollo Twin sound interface and everything works fine, I have enough of headroom.

Pros:

+ clear and detailed sound

+ interchangeable cable

+ nice look

Cons:

- seemed to me too bright - but it's good for finding sound artifacts

- not so comfortable, a bit tight - after an hour of using them I had a headache (hope some time needed for them to loose up)

- the cable is not coiled (I believe the majority of sound engineers prefer a coiled one, as I do)
