Are you asking me? If so, no. Should I?

Yes. See post 1. Unless you don't want more mid-bass. Thats the main thing that some might not like. I find it nice. Otherwise, more powerful sounding, less veiled, smoother, more open...

I'd prefer slightly less mid-west actually but I'd also like the sub-bass raised a bit. Garage 1217 have a solution in the works.

It raises the low-bass as well and shifts the mid-bass hump from around 100Hz to 80Hz. Either way, I'd encourage some form of modding. The HD650 in stock form sounds a bit overdamped despite its mid-bass hump.

I've managed to effectively remove the mid-bass hump with JRMC's built-in parametric EQ. It's not perfect but it's close. What I can't do with EQ is add sub-bass. It's maybe not even possible. It's much easier to remove things than it is to add them.

The HD650 are $300 @ Buysonic

https://www.buysonic.com/products/sennheiser-hd-650/

I literally just bought the 650/Apogee combo from Adorama today. Why?!?

The combo is no longer on the Adorama website along with a few others. The combos still show up in the # of results when you search for HD650, but aren't actually there. If they put it up for like $300 within hours of my purchase I'll be annoyed. Then I'll go return it and buy their $300 one.

Thanks for the link! Hopefully the deal is legit - their parent company is listed as an authorized Sen dealer. Had the 650' for a stint earlier this year but for some reason gave it up in hope of newer and better. Got Fidelio X2 on an amazon deal and while it is a great phone out of the phone, it does not have Senns wow factor on the vocals and sometimes the treble is grating.
