- Do I need an amplifier for the HD 650?
- Yes, in practice. At 300 ohms and 103 dB/mW it plays quietly from phones and laptops; a desktop amp or a strong dongle DAC gets it to full volume and control.
- Is the HD 650 good for commuting or the office?
- No. It is open-back and wired, so it leaks sound and blocks nothing around you. It suits a quiet room at a desk.
- What is in the box?
- The headphone, a detachable 9.8 ft cable with a 6.3 mm plug, and usually a 3.5 mm adapter. Check the listing for the exact bundle.
- How does it compare with the HD 600?
- They share the same frame and drivers family. The HD 650 is warmer with a little more bass; the HD 600 is more neutral and slightly brighter.
- Is $403.99 a good price?
- It is on the high side. The HD 650 has sold for well under $400 in past sales, so waiting for a drop is reasonable if you are not in a hurry.
- Can I replace the cable and pads?
- Yes. The cable detaches, and ear pads are user-replaceable, which extends the life of the headphone.
