I've owned HD600\HD650 and HD700's, for me the HD600's were the clear pick of the bunch and the only one I've kept. I find the 600's more natural sounding, plenty of detail, bass and treble both present and not overwhelming. The HD650 has heavier bass than the 600 but loses detail, for me the loss of detail was not worth the extra bass and the 600 are much better. The HD600 is the only headphone of the three that has been Sennheiser's flagship for a period, it shows in how balanced it is compared to the 650/700. The HD600 gives the most balanced and true sound with no obvious deficiencies. The HD700's have a treble spike - treble at a certain frequency is noticeably harsh that neither the HD600 or HD650 suffer from. The HD700 is a different sound, a little more detail than the HD600/650 but thinner sounding and not as fun. Best thing to do is order both the 600 and 700 from Amazon and use their return service on the pair you like least - they're both good, but when you're parting with this amount of cash for headphones you really need to compare as everyone's tastes are different, reviews only tell you so much.
Also important to use a headphone amp to get the best out of these - check the Little Dot amps for a decent entry level tube amp, a tube amp really gets the best out of these Sennheisers.

People voting cold would rather spend £700 on a phone.

Great headphones but unfortunately people will probably vote cold because of the Sennheiser outlet deals posted a few months ago.

I can't tell if you're trolling, or if you're just ignorant....

When your gaming rigs are in landfill, these headphones will still be going strong.

Someone posted this up the other day.
I am hoping, and praying, that the 600's or 650's go just below £200, prefer one of those. This is still good though.
