SnippetsConclusion
Good set of at-home headphones. A bit pricey, so make sure you shop around.
Conclusion
The Sennheiser HD 650s are a solid pair of headphones for at-home use. They’re about as good as other higher-end headphones, offering solid audio performance with very little distortion. They’re fairly comfortable, although their pads aren’t as soft as what you’ll find on other high-end headphones. They do have open backs, which gives them a really airy, open sound. It also means they’re better suited for a private listening environment as opposed to the morning bus commute.
The one sticking point is their price. At their listed price of $500, they’re too expensive for what they offer. Although their removable cord does go some length towards helping you protect your investment, you should really look for these headphones on sale. Savvy shoppers can find these headphones at close to half price, so it’s definitely worth researching resellers.

The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
