Haha I was wondering this as well. It's funny when people think they can insult others just because they tell them not to take it personally
On topic, I'm looking at some open headphones to pair with my HP100 once I get to China. Because both Hifiman and Soundmagic are Chinese companies, I am thinking it will be easier to try out the HE-400 and HP200, though I worry that the HE-400 would be too heavy for me. I'm also interested in the HE-400i but I am not sure when those are coming out.
My father-in-law swears by Sennheiser and he is going to let me try out his HD650's this weekend, so I am pumped about that
I heard Sennheisers have a lot of "clamping force" so I'm curious how it will feel on my large head, haha.
When it comes to pure comfort, how would you (or anyone else) rate the following open headphones?
Hifiman HE-400
Soundmagic HP200
Sennheiser HD600 or HD650
AKG K712 or K612 with K712 pads
Beyerdynamic DT990
Philips Fidelio X1
These are my "end game" headphones (hence the higher price tag), as the HP100 are good enough that I don't think I need an open headphone any time soon. Also, the huge leap in audio quality from crappy gaming headset to HP100 made me realize that headphones are worth their money... ouch my wallet!
Thanks!
