I have the Sony MDRV6 headphones, which are OK, but I wanted better sound and took a chance on the M650. I'm thrilled.
I use these headphones for classical music and I'm astounded at the clarity. I'm hearing details I've never head before with the MDRV6. And unlike the MDRV6 headphones, which sound sterile, these headphones are quite a joy to listen to while still sounding "accurate." The only downside is that you can better hear the deficiencies in the sound of older music recorded on inferior equipment.
The headphones come with two ear pads: leather(pleather?) and cloth. As reviews on some other sites have noted, the leather pads distort the sound by boosting the mid-bass. Therefore, I took off the leather pads and put the cloth pads on. The sound is wonderful with the cloth pads. Some reviews have complained that the cloth pads are itchy and recommend buying an upgraded set of cloth pads, but I've experienced no problems.
I've only had the headphones a short time, so I cannot comment on durability, but the build seems very solid, and the headphones are comfortable to wear.
NOTE: These headphones appear to be made for large heads. I have a rather large head and these fit fine, but my wife has a small head and they are too big for her.

50mm Driver50mm Driver: The Monolith M650 utilizes a stiff and lightweight 50mm beryllium metal driver. This enables the headphone to deliver accurate and balanced sound. Each driver has been tuned to deliver maximum dynamics, clear midrange, and detailed highs for the ultimate sonic experience. |
Open Back DesignOpen Back Design: The open back design creates an open, accurate, and natural soundscape. The soundstage is generally wider in presence and it feels as if you are in the middle of a live performance. Instead of an "inside your head", isolated experience that traditional closed-back headphones provide, open-back headphones provide a holographic listening experience. |
Comfortable Ear PadsComfortable Ear Pads: The M650 comes with two sets of ear pads in both leather and velour styles. Both have been created with comfort in mind and can be swapped out, depending on your preference. The Monolith M650 is engineered to fit securely over your head, providing sustained comfort during long listening sessions. |
