    “… [truncated] … we're molded for you. I have a large head with small ears so YMMY. ​ Sound: after finding the right PEQ setting and making a few tweaks I was floored. The bass is definitely deeper and stronger than the HD 6XX. With the… [truncated] …”

    “Someone help me out here. I actually have songs where I don’t like the hd650. Busy or loud music becomes mushy. People here are talking about upgrades… I suppose those won’t fix that?”

    “Maybe you should sell your HD650 and get a Beats Headphone instead, to catch all the nuances and subtleties of good music. You owe it to yourself, don’t pass on real enjoyable music listening !”

    We apologize for the emotional distress caused by the HD 650 ending your headphone journey. To make things right, we would be happy to move you to the front of the line at our next planned HE 1 listening demo. Hopefully, it won't ruin your audio experience forever. 😉

    headphones “Demoed HD800S and Arya Unveiled, ended up going for Sennheiser”
    Man it’s so hard to decided which one to buy especially they are priced so similarly where I am from. (Both costing around $1130) Arya Unveiled is also a very good set of headphones with a much punchier bass than HD800S. However, I feel this is the only aspect where it wins over the HD800S. Music just sounds so detailed and wide on the Sennheiser and the texture on instruments sounded more concrete as in I can feel the musician playing the instruments. I value the unmatched soundstage more therefore finally opting for the HD800S. Though to be honest, I would gladly buy both if I had the money lol.

    headphones “I hate the Sennheiser HD 650”
    Hello everyone, I wanted to express my deep dissatisfaction with the Sennheiser HD 650. In fact, this subreddit was the reason I bought these headphones 2 years ago. And what can I say except that these headphones are AWFUL. Seriously, even now I can’t stand them anymore. Because of these headphones, I rediscovered my music, shared intimate moments with the voices of my favorite artists, explored genre after genre... ... And I've never felt the need to upgrade after this purchase. Seriously, I don’t see what other headphones could offer me that my HD 650 EQ doesn’t. And yet I’d love to get back into the hunt for new headphones, the excitement of receiving the product, the discovery of a new sound experience. But unfortunately, the HD 650 has RUINED all that. I HATE it!

    Hi, I'd love to hear what Sennheiser is capable of, even though I doubt the HE-1 can beat the HD 650. I'd be happy to!
