I have the Sennheiser Momentums, however I am thinking about trying to sell these and get the HE-400's.
Hopefully i dont regret it.

Bah, I tried the HE-400 for a more careful listen and it has a really tizzy treble.
One teacher always told me, the further you go into education, the more you know a lot about nothing.
the more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know.
Wow.
Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed response.
I am potentially moving from a very easy set of headphones to listen to so I have some reservations.
The Momentums are a great pair of headphones but I don't know, they leave me wanting more.
I feel like the highs are almost dulled and the bass seems to 'thud', though it is no slouch in the bass department.
I also find the cups slightly small on the senns.
Hope I am making the right choice
I had them and returned them. Agreed on both counts, the highs have the Sennheiser veil (their headphone graph is pretty ugly past 2khz) and the bass is bloated. Plus, I did not like that look or fit. They sounded much better in the store demo, but sounded mediocre in both my home and portable set-up with pretty much everything. Sennheiser can do better. The 558 they have on display at Best Buy (for nearly $200 less!) destroys these, shame it is still openback.
