Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding?


Just received a new pair of HD650's to replace my dead HD580's and they sound so thin!!!

I'm using a Headroom home headamp with a NAD 542 CD, Kimber PBJ's and stock HD650 cable.

What is the deal with these phones? My 580's had much more bottom end slam and bloom in the mid bass? Is it a burn in issue or defective phones? Anyone have a similar issue?

580 is way better than 570. It is pretty much the same thing as HD-600 with the same drivers. HD-600 is tuned a little bit better (position of the drivers).

HD650s deliver more bass than HD580 but needs 250-500hrs break-in time according to one review I read. HD-580 was one of the best bargains when Sennheiser discontinued it - I bought mine for $140.
