What's great about it: Superb sound quality, full over-the-ear design
What's not so great: Need to be amp'd, sound leakage.
Note to future buyers: These phones do need to be amplified.
These were my first pair of high end headphones I had bought when I was first getting into audio. I had them amplified with a Headroom Total Bithead. (A nice little amp that runs off of AAA's). They sound awesome. Very neutral headphones. Vocals and individual instruments can be separately heard in clear crisp audio. Very large soundstage as well. These are not bass heavy headphones but hip/hop/rap or techno aren't Sennheiser's target consumers. The bass is there just not overpowering like some other phones can be. Sennheiser's phones have this neutral and well balanced feel that makes it seem like your in a room with surround sound rather than wearing headphones.
Last note: I have the sound quality at a 4/5 bars not because it is lacking, but merely because I normally listen to the HD650's older brother, the HD800s and there really isn't much of a comparison.
Final note: These phones are the perfect set for anybody wanting to experience the real sound that artists want their listeners to hear.

What's great about it: Fantastic sounding, comfortable
What's not so great: Large, not very portable
I have had these headphones for about 4 months now and can safely say they are the best headphones I've ever owned.
I will start by saying these headphones are NOT meant for use with an iPod or other MP3 players. An iPod only has enough power to properly power small headphones. Headphones of this size need some sort of amplification to truly be taken advantage of.
Once properly amplified these are fantastically accurate and a pleasure to listen to. I listen to a lot of different music from classical to hip hop and I've yet to find any genre that these can't handle.
At first they weren't the most comfortable headphones ever but the headband seems to have loosened up and I can now listen for many hours without any discomfort.
Bottom Line:
If you are looking for great sounding headphones for use at home and don't want to spend a fortune, the HD650's won't disappoint.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Awsome sound quality
What's not so great: nothing yet
I have gone through lots of headphones but these are the best I have heard for the price. These things sound amazing, the clarity is amazing, each sound frequency is seperated, and sounds like i am sitting in the front row of a live concert. Just beware that these are open aire headphones, and require a high end amp to power them, you don't want to use these with an Ipod or any other mp3 player because they don't have enough to power the headphones. I would recommend these for an audiophile enthusist, who enjoys listining music in their home. You can also upgrade the headphone cables because they are interchangable. I would recommend these headphones to anyone who loves good sound quality, and has a high end amp and SACD player.
I would recommend this to a friend!
