My girlfriend's daughter listened to my HD650 and said "Those sound good, really good! Of course, I couldn't wear them anywhere." (She had some $400 Beats.)
@Dino My wife says the same things. It is a completely valid point and headphone makers would be wise to step up their aesthetics considerably. She loved the look and feel of the Meze Classic 99 and has a pair that looks like the Senn Momentum (though predates it). Meze, make a better v2 and I'll buy it, dammit!
@Azteca - I understood my girlfriend's daughter's viewpoint. For her the Beats were more a matter of fashion than aesthetics. She wore them most of the time, around her neck when not on her ears. HD650 would not have been the same.
I was just interested in her reaction to hearing HD650. I guarantee you that open vs. closed did not enter her mind. (If she was interested in them, I would have explained about open headphones.)
