Review on 🎧 Sennheiser Pro Audio HD 650: The Ultimate Open Back Professional Headphone by Jamie Smith

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They forgive inferior source material, but can still live up to it.

I've been listening to these headphones for as long as I've had them and I have to say they are the least tiring headphones I've ever owned. Compared to other high-end headphones I've had (or still have), they're not the most detailed, resolving, exciting, or dynamic. However, they sound "great" which is what I wanted from headphones. The sound is closer to the natural. They are lenient with inferior source material, but can still do justice to the best material. Especially with voices I notice the admixture of basses. They have a lot of detail, but not so much that the slightest random noise distracts me - for example, the sound of rooms as the actors move from room to room in the film. I like listening to it, but that causes fatigue, and these are anti-fatigue headphones. It's the same with the dynamic - it's enough, but not enough, to go "wow". Rather than immediately hitting you with the wow factor, they tend to lure you in as you listen. I would recommend them if you are looking for what they offer. .Great sounding, anti-fatigue, versatile headphones.
