...sounds pretty ****ing cool. I've been dissapointed with my recent DT 990 purchase, and I can't get away from these old 414s. They lack bass, so I've compensated with equalization in Patchmix DSP on my E-MU 1212m. They don't distort or anything. Not the greatest sounding cans, lacking refinement I guess you could say, but they are seriously sweet. At 2,000 ohms, no wonder they weren't so hot out of my Audigy 2 years ago, but with my Millet, damn, pretty cool! Better than my DT 990s.
By the way, in case you're unaware, the HD414s were the first open-air headphones, first made by Sennheiser in 1968. It blows my mind to think that these are better than the 990s. :/
