Warning: These audiophile headphones may make you wear a black polo neck and grow a goatee.
"Listening to music is an essential part of my working day, my personal time, and everything in between. That's been the case since I can remember, so it's crazy to think I only discovered audiophile headphones a few months ago. And out of the three I've used so far (including HD 550s and Denon AH-D5200), by far my favourite are the Sennheiser HD 650s. And they're currently on sale, down from $579 to $329 over at Amazon."
"These cans were first released in 2003, and have been in constant production ever since. And what was initially the preserve of audio engineers and studio mixers over time became a favourite of music fans who want to hear their favourite tracks in all their glory. There's a big difference with commercial vs audiophile headphones, and the HD 650s provide a really balanced sound profile, and yet are warmer than more analytical reference headphones. For me that means I can listen to music for hours on end without any listening fatigue."
"There are a couple things to consider, though: they are open back, meaning that music will bleed out of them, so no good for when you're out and about. Also, they are wired. If you want a leading ANC, I'd head over to the Momentum 4s, also from Sennheiser (and no, I'm not spoinsered by them - I just really love some of their headphones!). They are down from $449 to $229 over at Amazon."
The Sennheiser HD 650s deliver a balanced yet warm sound signature that minimizes listening fatigue during extended sessions. First released in 2003, they have remained in continuous production and transitioned from professional studio use to a popular consumer choice. The headphones are open-back and wired, causing sound leakage that limits portability and public use. The HD 650s are currently discounted to $329 from $579. For users seeking active noise cancellation and wireless convenience, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 offers ANC and is discounted to $229.
