I love the build quality of these, especially coming from plasticy HD-580s. They feel so substantial, like tanks.

^^ Wow can't believe I haven't heard that!! I love DMB.Going to listen now..
^^ It's easy. Just grab the cups and pull. They should come off pretty easily.
[size=medium]A bit of my background. I have been listening to music for many years however I don’t have much experience with headphones. I got the Mad Dog about 10 days ago and I have been listening nonstop. I have a chance to compare to Denon AH-D600. [/size]
[size=medium]My home stereo does not have any headphone output and I do not have a headphone amp. I am planning to use the headphones at work and while travelling so I bought Dragonfly. [/size]
[size=medium]Mad Dog pros: I really like the bass, the treble, and the balance overall. The vocals are fuller and more intimate. [/size]
[size=medium]Denon pros: Much more detailed and clear sound – I can clearly hear guitar body reverberations and not just the string sound, the same with violin music, I can hear the concert hall acoustic and presence. The dynamic range is a bit wider than Mad Dog’s – especially with symphony music. The Mad Dog seems a bit congested with symphony music – Denon makes every instrument to sound separate. The Denon definitely has a wider and cleaner soundstage.[/size]
[size=medium]I am not sure if the cons I have with Mad Dog are due to the Dragonfly. It’s clear that it is way easier to drive the Denon than the Mad Dog. I don’t mind buying a desktop amp for my office if this is an issue, however my 15 days of return period will expire in a couple days. I would appreciate your opinion.[/size]
Has anyone compared Mad Dogs to the HE-400?
