Absolutely! I think the fit of various models on our heads influences things too, the low end particularly. Something as simple as how the pads wear over time - I had 4 pairs of Sony 7506 for about 10 years, all bought around the same time. I changed the pads on one pair to new and they were unrecognizable sounding compared to the others.
The HD-650 being open is not an issue for me as I'm 99% mastering guy these days but in a regular tracking scenario it is indeed a problem.
Thankfully headphones are cheap, I think the trick is try them in store if you can but if not take a chance and resell if they are not for you.
