sorry! jeez! all i wanted to know was whether someone had these headphones and could tell me if in their opinion, sound good. at least some specs (i can't find anything on the internet). however, i do believe that they definately sound better than my portapros. (even though i had to amp them and my pps are unamped.)
yep, that's them. they seem to have a very faint buzzing (?) noise when i listen to them through my dad's old denon dra-355 tuner amp. it could just be the amp or something though, b/c he's hardly ever used these cans. i wonder where i can find some specs on them...
also, i found a few professional recording studios use these cans, obviously there pretty good then. now, to find an good amp that'll be able to drive these things...
sorry, but your question is analogous to asking if a piece of cake you found tastes good. afterall headphones are meant for the individual's enjoyment..
yeah, i noticed they were pretty muffled after listening to rock. it doesnt seem as apparent with jazz and softer music. i wonder if i should remove the pads or punch a hole through the middle (pseudo Grado mod?)
Hi null, I've just checked that German link (fortunately I understand a little bit of German). That guy stated that he resolved this muffleness he mentioned with cleaning or replacing the pad's, maybe this would work for you too?
I haven't got any experience with the HD420's, but I guess they will have a typical Senheiser signature.
They require a f#ckload of power, a lot more than my HD-650's.
Considering how old they are they sound pretty. In quick comparison to my 650's. They lack depth compared to the 650's, maybe they are more upfront? the bass is much more life like and 3D sounding on the 650's. On the 424's there is less bass and sounds closer to the listener. The highs on the 424's are a little harsh when when at loud volumes but not too bad imho.
I know this is a somewhat unfair comparision. Both headphones have been used with the Perreaux SHX1. Also I am a complete noob at describing how headphones sound, i barly know what most of the terminology means.
By now these 424's must have somewhere around 95867549687549765968754976594867459687596870845098 359835 x 10 ^ 99 hours break in on them
