Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding?


Just received a new pair of HD650's to replace my dead HD580's and they sound so thin!!!

I'm using a Headroom home headamp with a NAD 542 CD, Kimber PBJ's and stock HD650 cable.

What is the deal with these phones? My 580's had much more bottom end slam and bloom in the mid bass? Is it a burn in issue or defective phones? Anyone have a similar issue?

They will break in. However, I just replaced my 570's with AKG 701s and the difference is like moving from bose mini cubes to Thiels.
