OK, not really half the price, but €499 vs €299. :rolleyes:
With the launch of the 400i's, a local online store has been offering the HE-400's at significantly reduced price.
I've been going over countless of reviews online. From what I understand, the HE-400i's have been improved in terms of comfort (lighter, better headband), but also feature a very different sound signature. Which, in your opinion, is the one to get? I don't want to buy one over the other just because they are cheaper at the moment. Unfortunately, I don't know of any physical store in the vicinity that carries them.
I mostly listen to rock, (smooth) jazz, and occasionally 80's. I generally don't like headphones with an analytical sound, but prefer warmer sounding headphones with a big soundstage. I always thought I liked the darker Sennheiser sound, but ever since getting the Grado 225e's two months ago, I find myself listening to the Grado's instead of the 650's most of the time. I tend to dislike headphones with an overemphasised bass.
Thanks in advance for your advice, suggestions and help. Much appreciated.
