    Pros: Incredible sound reproduction, simply arresting.

    Cons: If you have them on, you'll find it hard to do anything other than listen to the music

    Summary: The HD650s are an incredible value for their cost (I got mine from www.headphone.com for about $400) - every other year or so I exchange iPods and sound cards and every few years your amp but these headphones are here to stay. They really make listening to music a completely different experience. You should probably get a headphone amp if you buy these (although my iPod does a surpringly good job driving them without one) and be patient - it takes anything up to 50 hours to "open" them up (you can just leave them with a variety of sound piping through them - your ears don't actually have to be there :)). The only point deducted from them is for comfort - you do feel them on your head and even after a year, I've never really gotten used to that feeling and after a couple of hours I have to take them off for a bit.

    Trust me, when you pull the earpads out as far as you can on both sides, and then carefully flatten the steel between the headband and the earpads by bending it outwartds, you'll open them up, and you'll no longer feel that pressure.
