The sound of Sennheiser HD 650 can be described as warm, natural and detailed. The headphones strike an amazing balance of presence, resolution, and detail, all while still managing to be just plain pleasure to listen to.

Speaking of Beyerdynamic DT 1990, the mids here sound a little recessed, but vocals aren’t as emphasized. You have to consider that sound leakage is at a maximum here.

Comfort and design

When it comes to comfort, Sennheiser HD 650 vs Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro is a leader as it is lighter. Its weight is 260 g, while Beyerdynamic DT 1990 is 370 g heavy. An audio cable with 3 m length comes with each of these headphones. You can regulate the height of the headband as it is adjustable. What can make the use of these appliances inconvenient is the fact that they both are not foldable. It is not possible to talk on the phone with any of these devices as they do not have a microphone.
