A bit stronger foundation for the bass notes compared to the HD600, similar warmish and sexy mids, smooth and easy on the ears upper mids and highs.

I find the pairing of Asgard 2 and HD650 very enjoyable for extended listening sessions.
Sounds like the classic HD650 sound. Senn redesigned the 600s to address those areas you've highlighted. They are very popular with the gang at SBAF (Super Best Audio Friends).
