HD650s:

If there's any downside to this headphone, it might be a tendency for upper mids and especially highs to sound analytical at times, meaning the HD650s occasionally expose rough edges in records that other phones would probably gloss over.

Seems to be contrary to many user reviews. :confused:

Must have been a reviewer that had lost hearing in the upper registers. The shrieking highs of the 880s and the screaming sibilance of the Proline 2500s didn't phase him a bit.

What's even funnier is that I have hearing loss in the upper registers and I find those headphones to be unbearable.

He did seem to like the Senns best, so he can't be all bad. :)

My only complaint about the DT880 is the SHZHZZZZZZZZZHZZHHZZ. Other than that they're are not too bad.

i agree. not quite enough bass, too, but they're headphones, whaddaya want?

The bass was not bad for me, but I greatly prefer my qp55x to the dt880 though.

ewwww. i bought a pair of those, when they were cheap, too.

Really? What didn't you like about them? I like them better than my AKG K1000.

seriously? it would be easier for me to say that i like about them, than what i don't like about them: they make sound.

I'm just curious though. Please tell me what you didn't like about it. :)

it was thin sounding, soupy in the midrange, the soundstage was... ambiguous, had no impact, and was bright. that's from memory. i gave them away about 2 weeks after i got them. swapping some well used beyer pads on helped with the impact, but didn't help with the rest. i was running them from my Capitole Mk II to either my MPX3 running 6BX7s or a Zana Deux, so i don't think they were particularly underdriven.

it is a distinct possibility that they were overdriven, and under burnt in.

no, those are regular ol' 650s. not his fault you can't hear worth a shit.

This calls for a /b/ reply but I can't be bothered to google one up ;)

My opinion of the HD650 is the exact opposite of that. They have no major flaws besides being dead boring.
