I'd recommend the AKG K702, I like it better than my HD600 which is very similar to the HD650 you mention. K702 has better soundstage, and better bass reproduction than the HD600, whilst being on par (or maybe just only slightly behind) with the HD600 in other areas like midrange....but only get the K702 if you're gonna be EQ'ing your headphone, as a bonus in Europe the K702 is very cheap in comparison. If you're not gonna EQ your headphone then get the HD600 as it's so close to the Harman Curve without EQ, but only get the HD600 & HD650 if soundstage is not particularly important to you, as they have the worst soundstage (very closed in on your head) than any of the other headphones I have in my signature.Hi folks,
I would like to buy a new open headphone.
I currently own a Sennheiser HD25 that I use daily, and I'm planning to had a new headphone for the living room.
I already own a RME ADI-2, are there any others valid options in Europe in the price range of the HD650?
EDIT: I have an EQ for the K702 which I did that is based on a measurement of the K702 by Crinacle, I'm pretty happy with the result, but I'm sending my K702 to Oratory for measurement of old vs new pads too, so Oratory would be creating an EQ profile for the K702 in the coming months if all goes to plan.
