ya i can  understand that. and btw, thanks for the feedback on that track. i have also noticed that it gets, 'washed out'??? i mean it gets pretty weird. i own 518 and i also listened to 598 for some time. i think 598 is just 518 with better imaging and wider soundstage and thats pretty much...

i actually never said that, at least not in my comment few days ago. i asked, if specific genre, trailer music, sounds a little too bassy to ALL, or is it just me? also i was having this thought in just this one song i REALLY REALLY liked,  on my sennheiser HD 518 for example , this song feels...

i can understand ur concern cause that happened to me once, but that was with a smartphone.   anyhow, u should check mostly rap, or industry trailer music to check bass. at least i do that. ...

then what should i get instead? im saving and my max budget would be US $300

im saving up for a decent amp dac for the long run now. used o2 odac, REALLY REALLY loved that. that was like power house,  connect anything from 50ohm to 600ohm and it would not sweat. extremely clean.   will like to get advise from users here what to get. thinking of getting o2odac again...

may be i was unable to share my observations. 400i is not bass heavy, no. i said some part of songs get recessed. especially in electronic music and its more pronounced in trailer music.   im a sennheiser lover. i love that sennheiser dark veil. it just makes everything so natural.     ok...

also one more thing. i currently dont have my O2 ODAC, which i have given away. im currently using my Fiio E18 amp/dac to run these. sound is loud enough, but is it enough for these 400i?    what is the most appropriate source to power these? i mean whats the best amp/dac combo for these with...

i got mine about a month ago but was so so busy could not use them AT ALL.  till  now i have listened to them for like only 1 hour max!   now i have some time and started listening to these. i have observed something. the sound they produce is too bass heavy. like a little too much ...

  i already said it , once i get stuff imported here, its very difficult claim warranty and send them back. thing is that these companies are so huge and have so much R&D resources, why do they not fix the issues in first place?    im NOT saying that everything needs to be perfect. but still...

  thanks for advise here. but i will like to share my experience with you regarding mass drop. im not from USA. i have to import stuff on my own. so savings and sales are more important to me than anybody else, trust me    regarding massdrop, i can assure u that most of their products are not...

WOW so many recommendations and advises going on here! thats why i love this community! its alive and very helpful.   one thing i have noticed, the vocals, in everything i have heard so far on these, is plain freaking pronounced. its not recessed at all! i m sennheiser fan, i would admit that...

ok thanks. i will surely be looking more into that setup.    also what would u recommend to listen to on these new cans i got?  i  have a very long list of stuff to listen to have already made playlists but thought about asking what do u guys listen to when u first get ur new phones?

  i also have this setup in my sight, but i have to save a little for that. im not going for it like right away, will surely save first to get the most appropriate setup now.  also i have read and seen reviews that Asgard gets too hot, one of reviewer from UK (a cold place) said at room temp...

i use Fiio E18 via USB with PC mostly. very rarely i use it with mobile phone when i have to travel with long travel time :D

    would Asgard 2 be enough on its own? i mean its amp+pre amp.what about DAC? or am i missing something here? i always thought the best combo is to get a dedicated amp and dac and that would be great. can u elaborate?

    thanks for advise, but i dont have $600 with me :D my max budget is $250 may be a little more. thats it!

Alhamdulillah... i received my 400i just today.  OMG... i cant even explain my excitement! soooo long wait and finally its here.          anyways, just listened to it for like 30 min. before my initial expressions, i must tell im coming from using Sennheiser HD 518, 600 & used 650 for a...

i have a question, is there some seal or any sticker that shows its brand new? i saw some unboxings but cant really understand. any thing to see that its brand new?

hey i have send u pm can u check and reply right now! thanks

i have a question, i ordered these from amazon, sold by some other seller, fulfilled by amazon. order is confirmed and payment is deducted from account. at the time of purchasing, it showed that item would be in stock on 12 December. i have not checked if its shipped or not, but can some seller...

that is so nice of you. really appreciate that!  its nice to see good peeps like yourself, help and assist new budding audio enthusiasts.

but at least i have tried, literally my hardest to keep looking for them. anyways, im sad :(

yeah.... i have learnt my lesson that nothing get lower price than on Black friday  

i can buy these, but shipment is not possible to Pakistan. only if this was possible...

  ^ THIS is my real question. whats so different about them than HD 700? how would you compare these two?
