So you would use DH in music aswell?
 
That is is the point to me. I want to enjoy those Soundtracks the game has to offer. DH just does not produce a good soundquality to me.
Thats why i thought i might try the Q701 with the extra Soundstage to immerse myself more without sacrificing quality.

Again, I would only use DH with whatever accepts it. Games and movies encoded in Dolby Digital.

Music does not, so no. All you'd be doing is adding reverb and making everything sound processed. Not good.

I use Dolby Headphone for games and movies, for music it sounds artificial most of the time so I quit ever using it.

A while back, I was tempted to pick up a copy of the Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi battles the pink robots" surround DVD... And I never got around to it. Lol.

Anyone here have personal experience with Hifiman HE-400? Would like to get some advice on it.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

You're kidding right?

 

[imagine123]

Well, I read what you wrote in you'r guide. I just feel that I can get more information out of it

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

In any case, I've updated:

Mad Dog: forgot to finish the value sub section of the review. Completed now.

HE-400: Updated, as my impressions of the mids/treble were outdated.

LCD2: Comfort section updated to add the foam headband impressions (as well as the final score change in comfort).

Actually im sorry, way to unfocused today. Been a hard weekend, hehe.
 
I realised you have a full and long review on the HE-400 in you'r guide and I'll go read that again. Last posts can be forgotten, or deleted.

You gotta click the "click here to expand full review" hyperlink, the majority of the review is tucked under the spoiler mechanic to keep the guide from being frienghteningly long and unwieldy.

Ps, I also got to borrow an HE-400, it won't replace my favorite headphone BUT it was a lot of fun without giving up great detail retrieval or being a one-trick pony. It would be a good headphone to live with

You can also search the thread for HE-400 (using the Search This Thread tool, not just flipping thru it manually) and it'll give you every single post they're mentioned in within the thread; they've been discussed and compared at length. I'm sure if you have specific questions after that then some would be happy to answer them.

Just read through "the guide" for the first time. Don't know why I haven't visited before. 

 I guess mostly because I'm not a competitive gamer anymore. There was a couples years when I player CS till 3-4 am on a regular basis. 

 
I did enjoy the read and thanks to MLE for the efforts here.
