Nice, I'm glad it worked for ya.

Sure send me your e-mail in a pm and i'll send it to ya.

It's because there is a new firmware out that ships with the new one's, I have an original model and tried the new firmware and thought it sounded exactly as you say with an emphasis in the upper mid that just didn't match well with my dt-880s. Don't know about the new one's but mine you just...

How are you listening? usb,optical, or coax? I'm using coax a Tributaries 6 cable and I find it very full sounding not at all on the bright side and the bass is awesome. Everything else I find spot on nice preview. Although you probably should of posted this in the first 1050 post : )

HI all, I have been looking/researching for a pair of open hp for a while, and staring to get dizzy with all the different reviews and suggestions.I do believe I have finally found a pair, the he-400. My question is do I need an amp with these? I will be gaming and listening to mostly rock...
