Thats another awesome video. I wish i could have one too 🙂

[@tallskeleton]

I had the 280's and sorta loved how insanely long the cable was. I wound up getting the 300 once I either broke or lost the others, and I think I literally broke the 300's bc the cable was so much shorter I stood up from my computer and ripped the chord out of my computer totally damaging the wires

[@jeffreyallison771]

Two very important thing you left out about the HD600 and HD650. They both perform much better when driven with an amp. The HD600 at 300Ohms really performs well with a tube amp. The HD650 at 150Ohms will work with most any amp.

[@bikdav]

I found a vast majority of headphones are like that regardless of impedance.

[@chrisbianchi8876]

The 650 is 300 ohms

Awesome Headphones, Do you think the Samson Sr850 are good for Mixing and Mastering, If not what do you Recommend at it's price range? I really need a pair of headphone for Mixing and Mastering but can't afford the one's I have seen in your series of reviews, so far so good the best recommendation I have had which I believe I can afford for the time being are the Samson's SR850's.

Excellent Review HD 650 Pro "sounds" like the way to go if you've got the $$$. Thank You!!!❤

[@Geoff0711]

Great comparison review - I have the HD 300 currently and toggle, sometimes, between them and a pair of Beyer DT 250 which maybe are a tad more neutral. The sound of the HD 650 looks like it would be ideal for me - however I don't want open back as I want to havethe isolation and privacy too - is there a headphone that matcheds the 650 but is closed back?

[@ChrisBessy]

my mix is always with too much mids and bass not ok with the hd600 ..... i dont have this problem with hd280.

[@mc-not_escher]

I love my Massdrop Sennheiser HD6XX that I bought for a steal at $200, but it always wants an amp to sound amazing. The HD 300 Pro set that I inherited from my dad is a good stand in though and is a solid competitor to the IEMs I use for workouts (KZ-AS12)

[@Vaxeri]

HD6XX is what I would recommend the most. You essentially get the same build- and sound quality as HD650 but 250$ cheaper. It's worth the purchase even if you don't live in the US.

[@zzezzobike]

Nice presentation except , HD600 reproduces the bas instrument much more life like than 650. The midrange on 650 is pushed back so bass quantity comes forward as a result, but, there is no definition to the bass instrument playing like HD 600 does. This is my result of owning 5 pairs of each model through 4 years, with class A and tube headphone amps. So, my choice is HD600 powered with OTL tubes.

[@clovisbeat3882]

Those headphones are all good

[@хики_комори]

What do you think about HD 599??

[@user-eo6iz3rm3d]

really like the bass in the 280, is it true that the 300 has less bass?*

[@hironanase20122012]

For open back headphones for mixing HD800S is the only choice😄 have you ever try it? It is really amazing 😻

[@JohnScheppler]

Are the Drop 6xx a modification of the HD600 or the HD650? Also how does the 6xx compare to the HD600 and HD650?

[@RC-qc2nz]

The drop 6xx is exactly the same as a 650.its just a different color. So basically a 650

[@ashayayaredlb]

Best mid range Sennheisers(or any other) are HD 400pro/hd560s. Both are same headphones, 400 pros are slightly re marketed

[@Mulu_ig]

POV: you're watching this film on HD660s

[@jdkarchivos]

Honestly, I just went with the AKG K72's and called it a day. I don't need $500 headphones

[@theaudioasylum4328]

$500 for headphones? Git the heck outta here. Sony 7506’s . Money well spent.

[@jdkarchivos]

@@theaudioasylum4328 I can't tell if you thought I meant the AKG's were $500 lol. They were about $60. Best headphones I've ever bought, other than the fact that they have a wire that can stretch across my room.

[@AW-qz4kk]

@@jdkarchivos my guitar teacher has one and recommended. is it really that good? i hear its very comfortable though the circular shape doesn’t seem comfy at all

[@ninjamokama3839]

Had some AKG K371’s they were also the best headphones I’ve ever used for 3 months until the right side just died. Sure, I probably don’t need $500 headphones, But I need headphones that will last. sep 29th 2022 edit: I've recently purchased a Sennheiser HD25 and they have been going very well so far for the first month of usage. no signs of damage or any change in sound

[@raneunhae-idc.]

How is it going now ?​@@ninjamokama3839

[@robinverreault1337]

What's about the sound ?

[@Geoff0711]

I slightly preferred the HD300 over the 280, and despite the downhill response I was able to achieve a reasonable mix - mostly eq-ing old records TBH these days. I felt the HD 650's would have an ideal balance but were open backed -so after listening ad nausium on various sites I opted for a pair of Beyer DT 700 ProX these straight away stuck me as a good and natural balance and I forget about them and focus on the music

[@jft-n4s]

I had a pair of HD 200 Pro headphones which was my first "studio" headphone. It is underwhelming, and lacks clarity and definition. Had to switch to a pair of MDR-7506's, which in my opinion, sounds WAY better with better defintion for mixing.

[@reactionboi1825]

I choose hd280

[@JshuaBryan]

Whats the best for gaming tho? 6xx or 600?

[@Mild_Hysteria]

For gaming you might want something with a mic. All of these would be incredible for gaming though.

[@thetrumanshow4791]

I'm a speaker guy, not a headphone guy. I always have been, and always will be. But, like any proper audiophile, I felt the need to have a set of decent headphones in my arsenal, just in case I ever had a "wild hair" up my ass. After auditioning 14 different headphones from 8 different manufacturers (ranging from $100 to $1,000), I firmly landed on the Sennheiser HD650. IMHO they are the absolute best, most . . . "musical" headphones you can buy for the money.

[@h-dawg6462]

i don't know where you got them bogus graphs from! also, ........ suede??? lol 🤣

[@Dragonbreath2807]

58x Jubilee, I've compared them all.

[@paisleepunk]

Has anyone pointed out to you yet that you said "800" when talking about the price of the 280 pros despite your own timestamps saying they're only $99?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I said “a $100”… I know it sounds like $800

[@paisleepunk]

@@EdwardSmithMusic Sounds like A. Might need that pair for slightly better listening, or B. I'm so used to "uh-hundred" that "a-hundred" sounds off.

[@theaudioasylum4328]

Sony 7506 the best headphones bar none…hands down!

[@ChrisBessy]

if i mix on my sony .... my final mix will miss trebles .... and the bass not very good.

Great pic!!

[@vdhazer]

$200 - $300 for a headphone is super duper high for me. I have never owned a headphone costing more than $10, really. $1 equals Rs. 72 here in India, so a headphone costing $10 = Rs. 720 is very good.

[@vlntine]

You can't mix on 10 dollar headphones.

[@jdkarchivos]

@@vlntine you sure can with $50 headphones. I bought the AKG K72's recently and don't regret it. Sure, I don't mix, but I do care about audio.

[@omkardaivajna]

As I am from India I would for sure say that Rs. 5000 ($69 nice) gives the best value for money. I would surely recommend you to try a little pricier headphones. I have the Audiotechnica ATH-M20x

[@vlntine]

@@jdkarchivos That's the bottom line and you shouldn't go below that. Audio tecnica has some of the best budget options on the market

[@vlntine]

@@omkardaivajna My friend has the m20x and it's very good for the money. I myself have Beyerdynamic 990DT's (around 200 dollars). And even though I don't have an interface yet, I still make very clean mixes imo. Before you ask why I don't have an interface for these headphones, well, the truth is that I got it from my grandpa, he's an inventor and he worked with audio a lot back in the day and he still had these. Despite being more than 15 years old I believe, they still sound amazing

[@romitsen3405]

worthless review. Nothing about why the edge over the otherfor either of these headphones.

[@oinkooink]

HD280 - horrible, horrible sounding headphone. Veiled, tubby. Will make you want to give up audio/ mixing. HD600 - makes everything sound great. If mixing with them...really...REALLY hard to dial in a BAD sound. Everything is layered in a warm nice blanket. Virtually impossible to get good mixes if you don't seriously know what you're doing. Beginners...if you've heard the HD600/650 are the holt grail of mixing...they're NOT. Don't waste your money.

[@oscarestrada6276]

And the hd300s?
