In Use Comfort  
HD 650
• Very comfortable, even after a long wear session.
• Not particularly customizable out of box.

Short-Term Use     (6.00)


The Sennheiser HD 650s might not have the softest velour or sheepskin padding, but the headphones themselves are pretty comfortable to wear. The headphones are very light and don't put a lot of pressure on the head, either on the top or on the sides. After an hour we had no real complaints.


Extended Use     (5.00)


We really didn't have any complaints after a marathon listening session of 6 hours. They didn't really become less comfortable over time, although the padding grew to be slightly itchy at times. Overall, the HD 650s provided a comfortable wear experience.

Of course, this score and the one above are entirely subjective. Try on the headphones yourselves for at least a few hours before you make a final decision about keeping them. As anyone who's worn an uncomfortable set of headphones can assure you, this is very, very important.

Customizability     (2.00)


There really isn't a lot of customization available for the HD 650s. You can tilt and swivel the ear cups slightly and the band can extend. There aren't any additional add-ons or optional accessories included in the box.
