Are the velours pads not softer on the ear compaired to the focus semi leatherpads?
Does these have a influence on the sound Quality?

Describe feeling all over the place? Uncontrolled?
It's overkill I'm sure but has anyone driven their he-400i's balanced? It's just an odd curiosity. I'm toying with the idea of buying a jotenheim because of the on board phono stage.

Compared to Sennheiser HD600s, the midrange on the 400i sounds a little distorted to me. This is with any of the headphone amps I have available (Burson HA-160, Marantz HD-DAC1, the amp in a Marantz CD5004 player). I listen to classical music.
Its probably actually the recordings themselves, the 400i's will pick up more detail then the HD600 including the distortion you never noticed before.
Not really. I've owned he400i before and owning hd600 currently.
To my ear, under an average low-fi system, he400i has better airy tremble sweetness, better instruments separation, a faster speed. But hd600 has a more easy listening sound (less fatigue), picking up more details.
I think both headphones are good under low-fi system, just hd600 becomes great once the system is above low-fi level. But you really have to hear it yourself, before understanding or agreeing with what I'm saying.
The sound from a truly well set system on hd600 is not just gold --- it's diamond.
I'm not sying your system is low-fi for other headphone, just that based on your impression, I think your system might not work well with hd600. Which is to say, your impression matched very well with mine, on a low-fi system on hd600.
So I would recommend you trying a better set (or even some much better set) before juding hd600 so early.
