Sennheiser HD 650

So these have a good repuation for being a solid headphone and I mainly bought them to use for when I'm mixing for an extended time and want to rest my ears from my main monitor. I don't really know what is is exactly, but I'm having a hard time falling in love with them. They sound too dull for me to enjoy mixing with them on me.

I have also tried them as recording monitor headphones, but thats not either working perfectly. They are not particulary tight around your ears so if the singer wants the headphone a bit loud I end up with too much bleeding when using certain microphones.

I ended up using them mostly for checking out my mix in mono.

I'm probably too negative in this review. Still an ok headphones. Just didn't meet my initial expectations and I guess that coulours my whole experience with it.

These headphones are really famous and a lot of people recommend them--that's why I bought them for mixing. I wouldn't say they are perfect, my expectations were higher, but still, I not regret buying them: nevertheless, it's a GOOD choice. I use them with my UAD Apollo Twin sound interface and everything works fine, I have enough of headroom.

Pros:
+ clear and detailed sound
+ interchangeable cable
+ nice look

Cons:
- seemed to me too bright - but it's good for finding sound artifacts
- not so comfortable, a bit tight - after an hour of using them I had a headache (hope some time needed for them to loose up)
- the cable is not coiled (I believe the majority of sound engineers prefer a coiled one, as I do)
