Quote:   I had the same problem two months ago. The plugging in and out would fix the problem until I moved my head too much again. I'm guessing it was a faulty plug. Sent my pair back for a refund in the end.

Acoustic instruments sound wonderful with the HE-400. The classical musician in my house likes them for classical music. She would steal them from me if I let her.

Vocals are pretty even between the two headphones to me.    I actually think the DJ100 would work better for electronic music. The bass might be a little more controlled with a little less or the same quantity on the DJ100. The K240 makes electric guitars sound wonderful so I'd pick it for...

The K240 Studio is the better headphone by far. Bass and sub-bass is a toss up, but the K240 does almost everything else better. Way more detail than the DJ100 to me.   The soundstage on the K240 blows the DJ100 with stock pads out of the water. I actually think most headphones are better...

I'm having an annoying issue with my HE-400. The 3.5mm plug on the cable can't keep a proper connection to my laptop or E17. Usually the left driver goes out with very little or no movement of the cable. Unplugging and plugging back in the cable only helps the problem temporally. This doesn't...

Nice shootout!    The K240 Studio gets the most use in my house too. It would be the perfect headphone for me if the bass was better controlled.

Quote:   Agreed! The K240 Studio is relaxing in both comfort and sound.

Quote:   You could try the double Y cable trick for mono records. You need a Y cable with two female to one male plug, and the other one with a single female to two male plugs. I always use this setup when listening to mono records.

Music + headphones = fun!    I never want to hear the Q701 thanks to this thread. Money saved!

Does anyone have days when certain headphones sound better than you remember them ever sounding?    Yesterday was a Grado SR80 day for me. The treble didn't seem as hot as it usually is on the Grado, and everything just seemed lively and perfect.    I wanted to give my ears a break from...
