Maybe this is why people who heard this particular HD650 didn't think it sounded veiled at all. This HD650 had a very similar FR response as the HD600 outside of a slight bass elevation around 100Hz.

I don't exactly know what the differences are between the HD600 and HD650 drivers outside of a slightly different FR, but it does seem like that the HD650 driver is better damped, more controlled, more refined. So I ended up purchasing the HD650 variant for the reasons mentioned above. I found myself using the HD600s the most often to assess sound quality.

I actually find the stock HD650 slightly on the boring side.
Also, the HD650 seems to be very demanding of amps and upstream gear and finally, the context of "HD650 love" includes the modifications being discussed. Just because there is "HD650 love", doesn't mean you will like its sound. The HD650 is supposed to have a more laid-back sound. WARNING: Those coming from K701, Q701, or brighter headphones might prefer the HD600. This is a continuation from the Changstar thread with some edits and updates.
