Dropping by Jaben Network, I was surprised when Uncle Wilson showed me a HD414. I was thinking, wow, this is classic. It was remade to mark Sennheiser's 50th anni. Tried it on a Imod-hornet setup and boy it was good.
Here's a short impression.
Bass - Much less than a HD650 (which I have). However it was not overpowering or out of control.
Mids and Highs - I ran Mozart Divertimento in D.K. 136 on it and the midrange is fantastic. The details and clarity are also commendable. However, it is rather bright on the iMod-Raptor Setup. But for vocals, in my opinion its just nice. For soundstage, it cant beat a HD650 but gives this "open" feeling as the earpad is not enclosing the entire ear.
Well, here are some pictures of it.
As you can see, the pads for it has disintegrated but Uncle Wilson provided a spare set.
