so I got the chance to finally put my hd 439's back together after doing a bit of soldering and well, umm, these things are blowing my mind to a point much higher than they ever had before, to the point that I might not even care about upgrading to planars, I mean it's just absolutely at the pinnacle in it's mids, and the textures and details are just.... spectacular without a better word and the best part is that it sounds radically different to my other gear for example: (using my x3 as amp/dac since my rca interconnects are right now in the process of being re soldered)
Vs my modded hp700's: (the hd439's are) less airy, but way more intimate, Mids are way less recessed, also detailing is quite a bit less but with a more "sensual" texture, Male voices have more weight and guitars have more emotion, isolation is a bit worse (due to semi-open mod, which I designed to let out just enough air so that the drivers will bump up mid frequencies, it still need some improvement) and comfort is a bit better
Vs my stock dt250's: Dt250 is the flatter one of the two, with the dt250's having some more air to them in comparison, just not anywhere as airy as the hp700's, also male voices are treated with a normalized tone to them with the Dt250 while the hd439 does the opposite and bring them to life, detail of dt250 is more than the hd439 but not as good as the hp700, isolation is the highest in the comparison and will probably be heightened when I add some dampening and some felt.
Vs my stock ws99: I'll get this to you all tomorrow as I have to go to sleep now...
