  Is there any piece of software you guys know of that applies an equalizer on everything regardless of music/video player? It's sucks that I can't do anything about the treble while using Spotify or watching a movie.

Equalizer APO is what you're looking for at least for Windows.

That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for indeed. You have my thanks.

  Your headband is much sexier than mine. I bought the one at the URL below.

Tell me more about yours. Where do I get one?

 
 

What kind of headband is that?!?!?

Sorry for the late reply guys.  Just came home from work tho.
Actually it was a transplant surgery, the headband comes from the Corsair Vengeance 1500 that i don't use anymore =)))
The Vengeance's ear pads that was moved to the Tasktar HI2025.

Well, heck. Sought replacement parts for the 1500 but not finding them. Maybe, I will email corsair support and make an inquiry, but I am pretty happy with the overpriced one I have.

How are you supposed to position the focus pads? Is the big area supposed to back of the head, or front, or top or bottom?

Big part in the back.

  Hi Folks, new owner here from Spain,
 
I really love the sound, and match very well with my equipment, an upgrade from my old ones, but i found something strange in the sound signature. I use the velours and have no problem with the recessed mids neither the sibilance but I found very weird the drums, or more precissely the bass drums and cymbals, weird as harsh and not natural. To me its like you put an orquestra with very fine instruments there but a garbage can to play the bass drums.
 
Am I the only one that notices this? I already check the drivers and I have the correct version.
 
Regards.

You're not the only one. I find HE-400 bass artificial sounding, especially noticeable on drums. My recent upgrade to the 400i is really worth it, much better IMO.
I'm just sticking around this thread so I can sell my 400s

Drums aren't made up of only bass, there's also plenty of treble elements to them too, and the HE-400 is rather recessed in the 4-5khz range, which most of the 'snap' and 'slap' of drums are.
 
The bass itself though is very realistic-- completely linear and fast decaying.  The 400i was an upgrade to mids and to some extent the treble over the 400, but a downgrade in bass.

I very much disagree. I find the 400i to have better sub bass extension and greater speed. The bass sounds less smooth and better-defined. Only fault I can find with 400i vs 400 is its lack of very-high treble energy, making treble instruments a bit harder to place. Then again, this hobby is all about opinions and I can disagree and respect your views simultaneously. Also, I would agree with your statement months ago about the 400i having a little midbass bump, even though I didn't agree at the time

 

[TMRaven]

They both roll off at around 30-35hz, there isn't much of a difference in extension.  LCD series and HE-560 by comparison, have slightly better extension as they go down to around 25hz realistically; 20hz and below with the absolute perfect seal.
 
And yea the treble spike of the original HE-400 was moved down from around 12khz to 9khz, so there isn't as much perceived extreme upper treble with the 400i.

Yeah, I'm not saying that the 400i dig down to 20hz or anything, more that I get little to no perception of subbass on my 400. Everyone seems to think their bass is great, but I disagree. Maybe my pair just isn't the cream of the crop

Is the he-400 bass completely linear with all the different pads, or just the default pleather?

I can't say for sure, as I have very little memory of the 400's sound with the pleather anymore.  All I know is it's linear sounding with the old velour.

 

[thug behram]

He-400 bass extension is def better than the he-400i.

You gotta listen to songs that really dig deep to notice it. I believe the frequency graphs also told the same story.

Personally I got rid of my he-400i because of the lack of subbass and more intimate soundstage.
