Just got myself Hd650 frm a friend which was rarely used and not fully burn in.
I must say i was not impressed by it at d moment.
Pairing with tube amp...just clocked abt 20hrs nw.
Hopefully it will open up with more burn ins

What is the lacking or part you don't like from HD650?

Well coming from Ath-Msr7 with Cayin C5, I feel the 650 highs a bit tamed.
Maybe this is my 1st open back...hv to get use to it.
Just crossed my 21 hrs mark...hope it will sound better as many have claimed. hmm.gif

Oh i can understand the situation, HD650 has darker and more tamed high frequency, it is less exciting for certain taste, if you prefer brighter and sparkling high, you can consider Beyerdynamic.

Yup that what I read too. Guess I have to get use to it for now biggrin.gif

Or perhaps it's your pairing that not adequate. Despite owning the HD650 myself, I must say it scales incredibly well with better upstream gear (especially your amp whether its tube or solid state).

Additionally, you can consider removing the damping foam behind the driver as per below.

And yes, SBAF is a big Sennheiser fan club, so its also worthwhile to see how some of them tweak the HD650.

Thanks for you advise. What amp are you pairing with your 650?

Clocked 72 hrs. Sounds more correct and pleasing now.
I am sure its not a placebo effect coz I only randomly listened during burning in.
