Quote: lol this graph looks completely different than how I heard KNS8400. Word.

Quote: Could you describe more details in terms of comparing shure shr940 and kns8400 : )?  would like to get some inputs on that. Like why would shr940 be more suitable for studio use, in what way it sounds better than kns8400.   I personally never really use kns8400 as my primary...

Quote: Yeah now you mentioned I think that wide headband is indeed a bit wide. However, I find that design makes it comfortable to use it on the bed even when you lay side way.

Quote: Thanks! I have used HD598 that I borrowed from my friend for a bit in the past. Based on what I remember, you will probably think there's more detail (more crisp?) on the very high freq. (approx 8k up) and since KNS8400 is practically a closed mic, compared to HD598, the isolation...

Quote:   Thanks for the kind words UCLA 15 : ) I'm still refining the score system that I'm doing. I have couple other reviews that are coming up. In them, I decided to reduce the isolation/leakage down to 5 total points, and 12 points for each sub-category of sounds simply because I...

Quote: Nice Video! I was going to upload one too! should be up soon! By the way, for the paper towel thing, try using cotton balls instead, personally I like it better that way. I almost did it to all of my onear cans to make them more like "over-ear" Have'n't try it on KNS yet, will...

Quote: Can't wait! Is it gonna be on youtube or directly on the forum?

Quote: Can't wait Zombie! Let us now when it's uploaded! I'm planning to do one soon too ; )

Quote:   Thanks for your experience Attic!  I guess in the end KNS8400 does respond quite differently from amp to amp. When I plug KNS8400 into my Mbox 3 sometimes it sounds a little bit harsh, but when I use my Practical Device XM6, the high is so smooth and nice. Wondering what will be...

Quote:    I guess the soundstage difference is probably the best way to tell the different versions of KNS8400? Talking about sound quality is always a bit arbitrary and personal, the pair that I got from my friend has a weird sound stage too compared to the ones I have.

Quote: Thanks! more reviews to come : )   If it's still within 30 days, maybe you should return it and exchange to a new one. Recently I just tried my friend's pair of KNS8400, the early pair. They do sound different to me. Wonder if KRK secretly change the character of the headphone.

Quote:   Couldn't agree more! KNS is definitely not "bass lacking" but the bass is certainly not emphasize either.  I think KRK made a right decision to let KNS series have this kind of signature. This make KNS a very special pair for me. If the signature has more bass emphasis, they...

Quote:   Your welcome : ) Yeah KrK is definitely not a well-known brand in headphones. But in pro-audio monitoring field, they are one of the most well-known brand. I think KNS8400 is easy enough to drive because despite you need to adjust to a higher volume, it still sonically okay...

Well put man! You pretty much summed up why KNS8400 is so awesome. What do you mainly use it for? 

When KNS8400 is underpowered, it sounds extremely thin... If you're at a busy places (exp: subway), you pretty much won't hear much from the bass and when you turn it up, the highs are just too harsh. Music choices make a huge difference as well.   I Just posted my own KNS8400 review : )...
