Do you have any problems with treble harshness? That was a common issue I noticed people taking with the he400.

Not at all. Can't see treble being an issue at all myself. Listening as we speak.

So I've been using the JDS O2 and I like it a lot

What's different vs what you were using?

A little more bass punch, tighter, mids seem more focused and highs are a tad bit less sharp. Rounds it out and doesn't boost anything.

Yep. The bass punch makes sense, especially when listening to bass heavy music. Better dynamics at higher volumes.

I think it sounds pretty good personally. A tad bit let down by the bass impact but they ARE open phones.
