What Sennheiser HD 650 owners say

What an incredible difference they make to everything I had before! You can listen to a track and hear subtle details that you did not even know they existed. Wow!

HD650 with a bum driver, but I was able to solider the voice coil back on, so they work normally again. I had a pair 15 years ago and always regreted selling them.

I find the HiFiMan Sundara & the Fiio FT1 Pro both more useful for mixing - the Sennheisers have a much more condensed/flat sound with less bass extension than either of those

What Momentum 4 Wireless owners say

Thats unfortunate. I've been using mine for about 2 and a half years daily, and the only problem I've had is the earpads deteriorated and I had to get replacements.
