You do not get ‘bumped’ or ‘bloated’ bass from high-Z DarkVoice + low-Z Grado pairing?

I like the way it sounds; I think the Audio gd helps a bit, doesn't sound bloated to my head.

It Could Happen To You (1982) by Jan Akkerman - Some fine jazz fusion from the Dutch master, just four tracks and thirty five odd minutes, so could be longer. He definitely moved on from Focus, no prog in evidence here. The 400i's do a very nice job with this music, plenty of detail but more importantly, his guitar has a lovely warm tone. :darthsmile:

Rest in peace, K553's. I'll probably buy another of you once my next pair of headphones wears out.
New gear! Potentially the only piece of mid-fi I'll ever own.
DCA + Drop Aeon X Closed -> FAAEAL 80ohm adapter -> RODE AI-1
Giving it the shakedown today, so it's less "One album" and more "Shuffle mix of my favorites", which tends to be an arrangement of metal, classical, and a wide variety of video game music.
... I'll find a place with better lighting at some point, don't worry. This is just the phone torch.

Look like nice headphones, I’ve purchased from Drop before and they have good items for the price. I like that cup shape, similar to the Hifiman. Enjoy:beyersmile:

iPhone (with 2 adapters )- Earmen Colibri - Grado Hemp.
Great compilation album with both studio and some live music. Perfect for us children of the 70’s.
