If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
XR came in today. I haven't had a pair of IEMs in months, ever since my heir audio 3.Ai's died These are fantastic. Isolation is pretty insane as well. I will say that it appears that lower quality recordings suffer, but that isn't a huge deal as most of my library is 320kbps. Microphonics...- DarthUnnamed

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
So besides the increase in bass in the XR over the SR, are there any other substantial differemces between the two? Really unsure which of the two i want, i listen to a lot of hip hop yet i find myself leaning more and more towards neutrality. I started with a pair of hifiman he-400, then went...- DarthUnnamed

Great. How are the mids? One of the things i loved most about the HD 650 was definitely the mids- DarthUnnamed

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
Been looking for some IEMs in the price range of the ER4SR/XR, unsure whether i would like them. My current headphones are the HD650 and i love them, though i do wish the sound was slightly less muddled together. I was leaning towards ER4XR because i do love bass (but not at the detriment of the...- DarthUnnamed

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Got my pair in, wow these absolutely destroy the HE-400 in everything except for EDM/Trap. Hip hop sounds so much better because of the mids, really anything with male vocals. Unsure whether to sell the HE-400 or to keep them strictly for bassier songs without male vocals (quite specific...)- DarthUnnamed

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Ended up getting the HD 650 anyway, might just not sell my HE-400 and use it for more bass heavy music.- DarthUnnamed

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
About to pull the trigger on some HD 650's. Coming from the HE-400, what should i expect? My main problems with the HE-400 were the piercingly sibilant treble and the recessed mids, making me want somewhat of a neutral headphone with a little more bass than completely neutral. I will say i...- DarthUnnamed

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
Man this only makes the decision harder lol. I guess it's the question of open vs closed as well as sound signature Though i will say that i was told by Chan that the offer for the $475 teaks ends today and I won't be able to buy anything until wednesday, so i have no idea if i'm even able...- DarthUnnamed

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
I remember wanting the hd650 back 4 years ago, when i opted to go for the HE-400 instead. Interesting how things came around really My only worry is I might be setting myself up for disappointment by going from the He-400 to the 650 in terms of bass, as for the most part i really enjoyed the...- DarthUnnamed

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
Definitely was considering those as well. The lowered price is also pretty enticing. Do you know how the pair with a schiit magni/modi stack? Don't plan on upgrading amp/dac anytime soon really Has anyone compared the teaks with either of the senns? I obviously assume they'll be pretty...- DarthUnnamed

E-MU Wooden Series Headphones
Would the teaks be a good recommendation for someone wanting some headphones that are for the most part neutral/balanced with a little bit more bass? I found the HE-400 treble to fatiguing and the mids too recessed, with the bass even being a little too much at times. I also have a pair of...- DarthUnnamed

~$400 Over Ear Headphones and ~$300 IEM
Yeah i was definitely thinking the TH-X00 was too v shaped upon reviews, however the E-MU Teak seemed to be a little bit closer to balanced because of the more forward mids and slightly less sub bass. Still unsure if I would enjoy the signature though. Thanks for the other recommendations, will...- DarthUnnamed

~$400 Over Ear Headphones and ~$300 IEM
Looking for some over ears to replace my HE-400, which would technically be a sidegrade however i find the piercing treble and the lack of mids to be not be my taste, though i do love the bass. For sound signature, i owned a pair of sennheiser momentum's and while i enjoyed them, i found the...- DarthUnnamed
