Sennheiser's New HD Line of Affordable Headphones (HD 451, HD 461, HD 471)
Sorry for the late reply... I do not visit here often, and it seems I do not ger email notifications for pms... Anyway, the 471 are a very good set. After burning in they are my preferable cans for listening with my tablets. Of course, I apply bass with EQ, they need it as I do not intend to...- pouskidis

Sennheiser's New HD Line of Affordable Headphones (HD 451, HD 461, HD 471)
Following is a comparison/small review of all my cans to the recently bought HD-471g and HD-461g: The 471 has been burned in, they kinda need it and improve a lot, the 461 comes really nice right out of the box. Perhaps the latter do not improve much with burn in, we will see.- pouskidis

Sennheiser hd 449 impressions thread.
Ok, got my HD-598cs. Out of the box, the HD-598cs compared to the HD-471 seem to be lacking bass. But after burn in, they are much better headphones than HD-471 in every aspect. Considering you can get the HD-598cs at a price range around 100 bucks, they make a much beter buy than HD-471. The...- pouskidis

The first person to listen to the HD 598 CS Closed Back
I am going to answer my own question: No bass mod for the HD-598cs. They do not have the same design, no tape to remove. However, after burn-in they dramatically improve in audio quality and bass. In general, they may need a tad eq bass, they are not a good suggestion for bassheads. But they...- pouskidis

The Hardest hitting Headphones are.. ( "The EXTREME BASS Club")
I have modded both HD-439 and HD-449. Removed the tape from both, uncovered all 3 holes. The HD-439 became PERFECT bass headphones. The HD-449 became a BASS MONSTER, more than HD-439, more than I can take. I had to put soft towel-vetex inside to absorb some bass. Then they become the...- pouskidis

Mod HD 439 the budget Bass King???
What you noticed is a fact indeed! Pleather pads makes better seal, so fuller sound and more bass! Velour breaths better, so you kinda get a less detailed sound, but goes much better with this bass mod when it comes to 439. Now the 449 may take either plether or velour. But I think...- pouskidis

Sennheiser hd 449 impressions thread.
Oh, you like the "sennheiser veil"? The 449 sounds a bit harsh in highs compared to 471 that have a much nicer veil effect... I think you will love them! Glad to be of help! Let me know of your impressions. When and if I mod the 471, I will post 449 moded vs 471 moded comparisons.- pouskidis

Sennheiser hd 449 impressions thread.
To my experience, 471 is in fact 449. They actually sound a bit better, perhaps due to different pads or construction. The inside may be exactly the same. I am not sure about the mod, some people say they can be moded just like the 449. If you do not intend to mod them, DO buy the 471. Plus...- pouskidis

Sennheiser's New HD Line of Affordable Headphones (HD 451, HD 461, HD 471)
Ok, got my HD-471g First of all, let me tell you I already have a HD-439 and a HD-449, both modded. At first, the HD-471g sounds nice, better than etiher HD-439 or HD-449 unmodded and out of the box. Maybe it is due to the different earpads or diferent construction, the characteristics...- pouskidis

Mod HD 439 the budget Bass King???
Personally I opened up all 3 holes and let it like that.After more than 2 years now, the sound they produce is AMAZING! Resently bought the HD-471g and compared them. The new 4x line does have the same muffled sound with the older line (449, 439). I bet it is the same tape again, since they...- pouskidis

Sennheiser hd 449 impressions thread.
Their replacement is HD-471. The letter g or i goes to the cable it uses: So HD-471g for android, HD-471i for i-phones. This is basicaly a HD-449 as far as characteristics go. Perhaps you can mod them as well with the same mod. The same may be true for HD-439 wich is replaced by HD-461...- pouskidis

Sennheiser hd 449 impressions thread.
Hi. Been using mine for quite some time now. Their great advantage: BASS with IMPACT! If you decide to mod them, that is ;) There is a tape that covers 3 holes inside. Once you remove all or part of it (uncovering 1, 2 or 3 holes) you get a whole new headphone! I am suprised you did not...- pouskidis
