Amazing Headphones

Really good headphones for mixing. If you own one of the newer MacBook pros with High Impedance amp they will drive them loud enough with clean power. The lack of low end is something you have to get used to, especially when compared to Airpods pro 2 and Audio Technica ATHm50Xs, but these headphones strength is in the midrange and top end clarity, spacious presentation of the music with some time an illusion that sounds are actually there in your space. Definitely a good addition to my Yamaha HS8 and iLoud micro monitors.

Honestly…. They’re just the best.

Everything is replaceable and they're as flat as the flat earth. They're really the only headphones I'd look at if I were serious about having reference headphones. Additionally, they're light and super comfortable. There are only two things I can nitpick about them: 1) there's a fair amount of plastic in the construction and 2) the soundstage is pretty narrow compared to what you might expect. Just get them and if you can't afford them now, they're worth saving up for.

Sennheiser HD 650 Open-back Audiophile and Reference Headphones

Each sound comes through these headphones flat, clear, and isolated, allowing for superior mix adjustment. I am very happy with these.

Great headphones

I really like the new headphones and they are worth the money.
Rated 5/5

One of the best!

The HD 650 headphones are simply magnificent. One adjective I'd use to describe them is smooth. Nothing is hyped. I use them for mixing and mastering and they always tell me the truth. Highly recommended! You can pay a lot more, but you won't get anything better. The HD 600 are also fantastic headphones.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Mike Conyers

For an exceptional pair of open-back reference headphones, the Sennheiser HD 650s are the only pair I'll ever need. Mixes sound beautiful and alive, individual instrumentation comes through with more clarity... you'll wonder if you ever listened to anything accurately with headphones before!

From their studio-standard MD 421 II drum mic to their trusty headphones and ultra-reliable wireless systems, there are countless good reasons why the artists and engineers here at Sweetwater are quick to recommend Sennheiser products. In our personal studios, you'll find plenty of HD 280 Pro headphones, e609 Silver cab mics, and other staples, while many of us rely on EW wireless in-ear systems onstage. Our long association with Sennheiser means we constantly have their latest products in stock and in our hands, so we're ready to tell you all about them. If you're looking for Sennheiser gear, then get the information you need from people who use it - trust your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.
