Drivers or Brain,Nervous system of HD650

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

thanks for the review stuge

I am wondering should the metal mesh come off so easily? it appears so in that one photo, unless you took it off yourself on purpose.

How is the quality of the ear cushions? in the one photo the material/fabric looks a bit thin and frail and looks like it could easily tear, while in other photos it looks fine, any further comments on how they might hold up?

[Guest Stuge]

Regarding metal mesh -> Yes,I did that on purpose of taking picture .

From which picture you drew that conclusion regarding ear cushions l .Ear cushions are of very good quality and I'm quite sure they will last for a long time before they are replaced with new ones. If proper care is taken like cleaning them with mild shampoo ,which I usually do with the foams of Beyerdynamics DT770 pro 80ohm.

First its helps in removing germs and dust ,secondly its helps in restoring its softness .

Overall the quality is Excellent ,but it is not as rugged as DT770pro .

[Ascariss]

Might just be the lighting on the pictures, but the material for the cushions seems thin, but again might just be the lighting.

Little Update:

Update :After 4 months of usage,now HD650 fits much better, what it was 4 months back (no clamping effect )and bass has gone on a tighter side (deep and tight).
