You'd think that with 3D printing we could have a choice of colors.
noooo lol
HE said the ALPHA leaks a lot. I need a closed headphone with some bass now to go with the he-500. I have had the he-400, hd650, x1, and some d2k's so I get it...
quoting mad lust:
"I have some new info on the Alpha Dog:
It has some SEVERE NOISE LEAK, but seems well suited for outside use, which seems to be a contradiction."
That was a joke. He was talking about the robot in the video, which is also nicknamed Alpha Dog, apparently. If you re-read his post, you'll find that he was most definitely not talking about the headphones.
I try to include ****ty recordings into my tests too.
No Allison Krauss....blasphemy.

Having fun testing these out! They seem more firmly in the neutral, reference camp rather than the lush, fun camp. I would imagine tuning the bass would make them more lush, but I'm leaving them in the default position.

It does look short.....or maybe you need to retract the headband all the way to have better clearance.

Ah that's where I have been going wrong then. Luckily I use IEM's outside so I can drag my face along the pavement with no issues. Not sure why people wear full size headphones outside of the house TBH...
Not sure how Matt perceives the HE-400s bass but if the ADs can "hang" with them, they should be anemic on the lower region as well then... Just in case, after reading Matt's comments, I went back and check to see if I was having any fit issues as well. The AD's fit "snuggier" than the MD's and they weigh a bit more (cable adding a bit of that weight is my guess) but I couldn't perceive any issues with how it fits me or the seal... so again, my initial impressions still stand for now.
Sorry bro. Check this thread for additional support...
