Hi! I'm thinking about returning my HD477's to the store because they lack the punch I was looking for. I like its clear and neutral sound but it definitely lack the bass I'm looking for (in fact having good bass in my first priority). Will Alessandro MS1's solve the problem or should I...

I've decided to let them "break in" last night and I've tried them on a better amp this morning... Wow!!! I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed. My old Sony s are only good for garbage now. The only thing that I don't like about the 477s is that they're very, very opened... Which closed model...

Any more input? BTW, how do we take the ears apart on those things? According to my understanding, the 477s are modular?

I finally decided give the HD477s a try. They were at a local shop (30 days satisfaction warranty ). More details at http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...61#post1091261

Today, I've decided to go shopping for some headphones... My initial objective was just to try them out, but I've found some HD477s at 20$ under the list price. I've gladly accepted to give them a try. There's a 30 days satisfaction warranty so I can return them anytime. My first...

One more question... All these models don't seem to have any hole for the hears. How can it actually sound good? I mean... I had some cheap Sony's MDR-V150 before (closed design), I don't want my Sony's to sound better than more expensive Senns.

Hi! HD437, HD433, HD457... I'm pretty confused with all these models. I'm a bass guy who also appreciates good mid-high ranges... But my priority is a good and powerful low bass that won't distort. Which one is the best for me?
