Hello Head-fi,
This is my first post (I think) so correct me if I do anything wrong.
I'm planning to make an upgrade to an higher end headphone and my eye caught the HE-400. I've read very good think about these headphones but also some bad things, especially about the bass and the soundstage.
The only equipment i currently have is a Sennheiser HD-518 and the RE-Zero's.
I'm worried that I might not like the sound of the HE-400 because of what's said about the bass. The HD-518's weak point is also the bass and I don't really like it alot. Is there anyone who owns both the headphones and can make an comparisson for me? I'd really appreciate it since it'd be a shame if I would spend ALOT of money on a headphone i won't like.
Some things I have read:
-They are great for electronic music, but I listen mainly to blues, pink floyd, dire straits or johnny cash.
-The bass is dark and not very fast. I don't know exactly what this means but it looks like the sound my Sennheisers might have.
-buying this won't be a regret at all, especially if you upgrade from something low end.
So my question is:
Will this be the right choice? Or is there any better?
Many thanks for the help!
Edit:
I've listened to Beats studio's and i found them better then my sennheisers, the bass was more "clear and real". If the bass on the HE-400 sound better I will be a happy man. (If i think about it in this way they MUST be alot better)
