Agreed. It is giving my Denon D5000 a run for the money!

 

[tjdub]

Very much so. I have the 5000 and the 7100 and the m400 definitely have the demon house sound and to me they give me things that the 5000 lack but they can't touch the 7100

I'm sorry to see this thread die, this are by far one of the most under rated headphones out there

Agree without a doubt.

They're still my favourite cans of the ones I have. They're just perfect for my taste, and I'm not exaggerating; I can't find a flaw! I'm saving money for HD 650 and LCD-2, but these Denons will always be something special. I'm surprised people suggest PM-3 now and then but not these. I've listened to the PM-3 briefly, but I prefer my AH-MM400.

I'll just leave this here:

I am yet to try the PM3 but they would have to be pretty darn impressive to come anywhere near the AH-MM400. I would like to think this thread has died simply because people are enjoying them.

 

[BobMonkhouse]

PM-3 are very good too, and I can see them a little more comfortable for some, but the bass is just that bit looser than the Denons'. The MM400 is perfectly balanced from top to bottom for me. I've suggested them a few times to those looking for such properties but never read any feedback, neither negative nor positive. I guess people consider them portable and too expensive in this category. But I don't consider them on-ear and their sound quality is not "portable" but rather competing in the full size home domain.

 

[tjdub]

I'm on the list for the pm3 loaner program, I am curios to try them and see what the fuzz is about but for what I've read they should be on par with the mm400

From what I've read, the PM3 sound flatter than the AH-MM400. I've seen someone on my train wearing them. They definitely are larger in size and in my opinion, don't look anywhere near as classy as the Denons. I will say this, they have destroyed my sleep. I ALWAYS make time to listen to them for at least an hour before bed, irrespective of what time it is and whether it is a weeknight or not. Their sound signature is now fixed given the number of hours I have had with them, and I personally would prefer it that way. I wouldn't change a thing in terms of looks, comfort or sound.

 

[tjdub]

I agree, I have fallen asleep with them on more than once. Mine settled in to , they do have an unusual long burn in time

I am really torn between these and the PM3's. I can get both at almost the same price here in Australia, but can't make up my mind. I guess there is no definitive winner between these two in terms of resolution, accuracy and specially bass characteristics..

Have you heard them both? I have read the PM3 is flatter sounding, so not the exact same sound signature. Who is selling the Denons in Oz?

 

[BobMonkhouse]

I've listened to PM3, and I prefer my MM400.The Denon has better balanced transition from the bass to the mids. PM3 draw a little more attention to the bass, while the Denon doesn't emphasize any of the frequency ranges.

Good luck picking the one that suits you better.

I'll import these from overseas. Much cheaper that way.
 
Some people say PM3's are flatter. Others say they have more bass (loose, bloomy etc. compared to mm400s). I can't demo both so that makes it a bit harder for me. I can always eq so the signature is not really an issue. I would like for it to be a bit bass heavier, but ultimately I need one which has more resolution and is not sloppy. I think both of these are good on these fronts.

 

[tjdub]

The mm400 in not bass heavy at all but its not lacking also, i think thats what makes them so good all around
