Review of Sennheiser HD650 Headphones

The HD650 is Sennheiser's currently flagship headphone.

The sound quality it outstanding.The character of the headphones is relatively neutral, perhaps a bit on the dark side.If you like a very bright headphone then I would recommend a Grado or Beyerdynamic set.The highs are very detailed without being too bright, which is what I love about them.The bass reponse is phenominal as well; nothing short of expensive floorstanding speakers are going to deliver the right combination of punch and volume that these headphones can.

I will say, however, that if you're listening to music without a headphone amplifier, your money is best spent elsewhere.While you can use the HD650s to listen to your ipod, their potential is being severely limited.I didn't believe this at first and was mildly disappointed with my headphones.After I purchased an amp, there was a staggering improvement in sound.
