#11 no these are just great headphones lol, mainly for music and bass though lol. i didn't know if #1 wanted gaming headphones or not though... he never specified!! XP
and #13 how do you know your headphones would "destroy" those ......... talking out of yo bum? have you even read the reviews and stuff? these are not the HD555s, these are the the HD650.
LITERALLY it makes listening to MOST 'underground' artists almost UNBEARABLE because these headphones pick up the SLIGHTEST sounds made in their studios. and so unless the way their studio is set up is completely sound proof 10000000%, than yeah, and only many more popular artists are able to pick up record companies that supply them with that sort of sound-proof quality.
and also another thing #13. are you able to listen to .mp3s on your AKGs? the sound quality of .mp3's are UNBEARABLE again to listen to on HD650s. because they pick up everything you will hear every, single, flaw of the codec. it's like watching a cs movie from 2002, and watching one in x264 today. there is a HUGE difference.
so what base are you saying that the 240 studios would "destroy" the hd650s?
EDIT: nvm i just read you didn't use them with an amplifier. LaWlL. an amp is almost NEEDED for all high end headphones btw. maybe that's why you weren't so impresed. you didn't use it to its max quality lol.

Voted Gotfrag's Most Likely To Succeed. #danielvutran #Rift
#22 you used HD650s without an amplifier though like #16 said, an amplifier is almost needed with high end headphones. i've never tried the 240-s but you never really truly used the HD650s either D: yeah you used them without an amp, but without an amp they are like $60 headphones lol. not only that but you also say that an amplifier isn't needed with high end headphones lol -____-;;.
anyway here are the specs for anyone interested
HD650s Frequency Response 10 - 39,500 Hz (-10dB) Input Impedance 300ohms Connector 6.3mm stereo jack with 3.5mm adapter Ear Coupling Supra-aural
Best Headphones out now?

The only "bad" thing about these headphones is that they are TOO GOOD. LOL. Literally.
So get that. It's one of the best. And it's not even over 1k. Lol.
I'd take them any day over any product from sennheiser, bose, etc. etc. (coming from personal experience with a variety of studio quality headphones)
if you don't believe me or have no idea what i'm talking about:

A picture of the 240-s (not their top of the line, just the ones I have)

Those for gaming? you sure man?
helldozer that's not required
I plug my AKG's right into my audigy 2 zs, amazing sound no amplifier needed :P
I have always had good luck with Plantronics DSP series headsets.
seriously if you want high quality headphones don't shop for something with a mic
i use mine for everything, music, gaming, movies, and on the road. they're extremely durable
#16 I've tried HD650's I honestly wasn't so impressed (this was after I owned HD555's for a long time)
I'm saying AKG is better then sennheiser without a doubt, even though you can't really sennheiser is bad.
and #13 how do you know your headphones would "destroy" those ......... talking out of yo bum? have you even read the reviews and stuff? these are not the HD555s, these are the the HD650.

i've tried them both, I PREFER THE SOUND OF THE AKG'S BETTER. DOESN'T MATTER THAT ONE OF THEM COSTS $400
if i really wanted the BEST sound for my money i'd take #16's advice and get the AKG K701 (even though I've never tried them)
http://www.akg.com/personal/cproducts/pow..
in terms of specs, not just my personal preference, these really are superior to the HD650s
anyway here are the specs for anyone interested

Sensitivity (dB/mW, dB/V*) 91, 104*

you can see for yourself which headphones have better specs. remember the HD650s specifications are without an amplifier. so yeah. lol.
Frequency Response 10 - 39,500 Hz (-10dB)

Audio bandwidth (Hz to kHz) 15-25
Just wanted to point that out to you #22. Lol.
