Sennheiser HD 650

IsolationSound Quality
Very low distortion, good tracking.
Frequency Response (4.42)
The HD 650s had an average frequency response. As you can see, the headphones have an average response in the bass end, but gradually fall off towards the high-end. The response becomes slightly erratic as well, leading it to dip slightly below the bottom limit a few times by varying amounts.
While the HD 650s didn’t have a perfect response, they still did pretty well. They never went drastically far outside our set limits and there weren’t any sharp volume changes across small frequency bands.

Distortion (11.20)
The less distortion a set of headphones has, the less we can say about it. The HD 650s didn’t have a noticeable amount of distortion at any point throughout the frequency gamut we tested. Audiophiles should be quite happy with these headphones.

Tracking (9.01)
The HD 650s had good tracking overall. This means there wasn’t any frequency at which the left ear cup was playing noticeably louder than the right, and vice versa.

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
