Is the Sennheiser HD 650 worth it over the cheaper HD 560S or HD 599?
Reviewer consensus
Specialist-community consensus frames the HD 650 as warmer, more refined, and more comfortable for long sessions, while the HD 560S is more clinically neutral and the HD 599 is warmer and easier to drive. Reviewers note the HD 650 commands a premium and that newer headphones beat it on bass extension and transient response, so the value gap has narrowed.
