The imaging and separation are the best I've heard, soundstage is monstrous and there is very little fatiguing if any at all

I loved the lush mids so much, as well as the airy soundstage, I didn't care about the lack of bass.

The soundstage was expansive and they did seem to differentiate themselves from the Sennheiser 598 they were replacing in mids and highs.

Because these headphones have a better soundstage than 98% of the headphones out there

The soundstage is excellent in movies and games and listening to music using Lossless HI-FI from TIDAL is impressive and very detailed.

, I could feel the bass impact bloom, vocals more natural and the soundstage become more expansive

It is a tremendous combination, very musical yet neutral, and with great inner detail and soundstage (for a headphone)

I will say that the imaging and depth positioning was just fine, and the soundstage was perfect and wide enough

Soundstage is fantastic, exactly what I wanted from open back, over ear — immersion.----I strongly recommend some form of amplification for these headphones.

Positioning: Positioning and soundstage tend to go hand in hand, so if the soundstage isn't great, the positional cues will suffer

Second these are very power hungry and you good a good strong amp to drive them, not good for computer use without a headphone amp, and the soundstage is odd

Fantastic headphones, clear with a wonderful soundstage

Sounds better than the PC 363D, but those are my favorite "gaming" headphones, and with no mic on the HD 650, it's find to stick with the 363D.The best soundstage and directionality of gaming with any headphones I've heard is with the AKG K701s, to be honest

The AKGs "throw the best soundstage" and their presentation almost seems as if it is coming from somewhere outside of my head, which is very unusual for a headphone and quite beguiling

Do these have the best soundstage ever?

The soundstage is decent

Very nice soundstage

Songs such as Creep by Radiohead and Billie Jean by MJ that sounds trashy with the HD700 sounds more bearable and enjoyable with the HD650.With movies, the Sennheiser HD650 headphones’ dark, polite and laidback presentation, with decent soundstage, makes for an unengaging experience

Not the best soundstage in the world for gaming but its great for music.

On the upside, the midrange and high frequencies on the HD 650s are totally smooth, the phones have a great soundstage, and they are fairly comfortable.

Bass is solid and deep without being overwhelming, soundstage is excellent, mids and highs are clear and present

Soundstage is excellent, a bit laid back5

Combined with a Xonar Essence, these cans will give simultaneously emit a warm soundstage and every environmental/digital artifact of whatever media you choose, regardless of quality

The soundstage and imaging are excellent, the midrange is impeccable, however

I have come to appreciate the effortless sound produced by this system, not only its accuracy, but an exceptional soundstage as well

I would say that the HD 650s sound very good, have good definition and a pleasing open soundstage.

Compared to the Beyerdynamic DT880, the Sennheiser HD650 has a tad wider/deeper soundstage, greater transparency to recording artefacts, more articulate midrange, a better extended bass response and are easier to drive despite the higher impedance rating

They have good soundstage, very musical and warm sounding like you're in a concert hall

My first listening impression was that the headphones sound did not produce wow factor nor struck mewith 3D clarity or impressive soundstage

good soundstage.-

Warm sound with greatextension & pleasant soundstage

To me, the 650 has a beautiful, almost lush laid back sound that is kinda intoxicating with an impressive soundstage making you feel you're just upfront with the musicians.

Clean, accurate, detailed headphones that have decent soundstage and incredible imaging

It's difficult to make 650 sibilant (harsh S), but possible - tolerable even when it does.

sound great too, either plugged into the receiver or piped thru my logitec PC system (their top o line with separate headphone amp)

if the high price of these should scare u off,I can also recommend the HD 558's,as I was never dissatisfied with the sound of my old headphones.

Thank U ;)

It's difficult to make 650 sibilant (harsh S), but possible - tolerable even when it does.

If you like a laid-back, really mellow phone with no personality, you might like these

I am etiher getting accustomed to the sound or they are improving as I use them more

In excellent condition as well--almost as if they were never opened :D Thank you!

So I looked at Sennheiser other phones as well as

and I absolutely love them months after purchasing just as much as I did the first day.

The HD650's may not have the fancy technologies of orthodynamic or electrostatic units, nor the pricey parts and accessories, but they definitely sound nearly as good and even better in some ways

I have found they sound marvelous with vintage Marantz receivers that can be obtained inexpensively, as well as from modern dedicated headphone amps
