    Which Sennheiser HD 4x9 series is right for me?

    Hi.   I'm currently using a Sennheiser HD 205-II.    I want to upgrade to a 400 series.   I was thinking about the 439, because it's a tad bassier than the 449. 449 should have better clarity, but I also want the headphone to be "fun", so I think the "neutral sound" of the 449 may be...

    Value?

    I'm not sure if this is like desktop computers vs laptops, where in desktops you'll get more of a computer for the money. Does the same apply for on ear headphones vs IEMs?   I love my IEM, I spent about 150 them. Was wondering if a $150 full size would have better quality?
