Just bought these headphones about 2 weeks ago, and i am blown away by these when compared to my Sennheiser hd650 headphones! But will warn you....these take a heck of alot of power to drive! I got my little dot mk3 tube amp's impedance turned up to 300+ ohms! But these will blow you away!!

but.. but... dat treble spike, sibilance, and upper midrange recession...

I have to let them burn in more, but already they're beating the hd650

It's all about perspective. One man's treble spike sibilance and upper midrange recession, is another man's ultra-detailed crisp open sound.

I love these things! That's all i have to say

Being spoiled by higher end headphones, I easily heard the roller coaster ride that is the HE400.
But overall it's not a bad pair!

This one is great headphone for the price it's one of the best, just let them burn in and enjoy your new can
I'm sure you will enjoy it much more than your hd650

They are pretty good but the mids are a bit recessed and highes are quite bright with some songs

This was my feeling as well and because of this I plan on selling my pair.

Give the HE-500's a try.

How would you compare the HE-500s to the HE-400s?

 

[verde57]

HE-500 solves the problem of "recessed upper mids"?
 

 

[spiderking31]

All i can say is, the he-400's blow my Sennheiser hd650 outta the water! Love them!

HE-400s are high end for bass heads, a.k.a. me.

Treble about the same?
