Given the price difference between the HD650 (and everything else) and HD497, I'd think that the HD497 is there simply due to the sentimental value that the author holds to it.

Given that the frequency response is similar in certain regions, it's another good example to show that frequency graphs are not everything when it comes to headphones.

Can't believe the 990 performed so badly. Some in headfi think that its underpowered by the sm3.

The guy doesn't know what he is talking about and has a fixation on the 650. Colored specs produce colored results. <_<
