Ok, so I feel that I have to chime in here regarding the HD 650 being driven with an iphone, as I can certainly relate to this.
The first few times I heard, and when I fell in love with the 650, was with a 5.5 gen 30gb ipod. Yes, you read that right...and ipod with no amp. Simply the 650 straight off the built in amp. This was at a store that was local to me at the time (it is no longer in business) and the only portable source I had at the time was that old ipod. The clerks at the store always wanted me to play with it through their Headroom amps, and I am sure i tried them, but really, I did most of my listening from the old ipod.
I knew the ipod didn't have the proper power for the 650's, but I honestly didn't care. I was in love and wanted those headphones so much I could taste it. Unfortunately, they were far out of my price range.
Fast forward several years to last Christmas. I was finally able to make my HD 650 dream come true.
When I got them in, I still had that old ipod, but also had the iPhone 6, and an Emotiva DC-1 (combo DAC and headamp). I, of course, tried the 650 on all of these...just to see how they sounded. The Emotiva was the clear winner.
A VERY short while later, I added a Schiit Vali 2 amplifier, and my mind was blown!
When you read that these 'phones scale well, it's no joke. Moving from the 5.5 gen ipod, to the iphone 6, to the DC-1, to the Vali 2 were all noticeable improvements. (However, I like the more laid back sound of the ipod over the iphone, but the iphone "seems" to get a bit louder IMO).
If you have no other source except for an iphone 6 and you have heard the 650 and REALLY want it, then by all means, do it!
Having said that, I will add this as a disclaimer. It will work, but it will not (in my opinion) give you the best you can experience from this headphone. For me, the low end improves dramatically when moving from the iphone 6 to a proper amplifier. On the iphone, it is very loose (not well controlled as the amp is simply not powerful enough to properly "grip" the drivers). When amped with Schiit Vali 2 (very low cost amp), it REALLY tightens up, extends deeper, and sounds more musical in general.
Don't take it that as the iphone will make it sound bad, it just doesn't do it justice, IMO.
I hope all of this makes sense. No offense meant to anybody, and this post is not aimed at any poster. I just felt I could relate, and also know that the 650 is so great, that even a phone driving it can cause someone to fall in love with it.
