Is it possible that I am the only one not loving the S400's? They sound ok, but are too dark and warm for my liking. Is the S500 worth the little bit extra?

 
Yes!

Mine fit perfectly in this: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-NVA-B10G-nav-u-Nylon-Storage/dp/B001AG6J26/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354634763&sr=8-1&keywords=Sony+NVA-B10G+nav-u+Nylon+Storage+Case
 
It's not exactly a "hard" case but hard enough, I think.  And the price is right.

How is the soundstage on the S400 vs say a decent IEM of roughly the same price like the Sony MH1C or the RE0s (i'm sure it has more soundstage than the RE0s but still curious).

Well hell, they were on Amazon for under $30 so I decided to pick them up. Now... how do I explain to my wife that I need yet ANOTHER pair of headphones haha.

I sent my S400's with the AKG K81DJ earpads to Purrin for measurments:

I've since gone back to the stock pads with some cup dampening to get a more neutral signature. I still really like these cans. The price on these amazes me.

Since I have settled on the HM5 pads, I have available the ath velours, the ath pleathers and the akg pads. I have two sets of slightly used of all three pads, and I would sell the sets of three plus a set of the stock pads for $20 shipped Paypal gift. If anyone wants to try these pad mods please PM me!

Yeah, I have to re-familiarize myself with cute's HM5 pad setup also. I am very happy with the ath pleather + taped vents setup, but cute's setup might be the end-all :)
