Change is Good
Headphoneus Supremus
I really don't find the 1540 spacious. It has very upfront presentation. I feel like I'm on stage with the band...which I like but I don't understand people saying the 1540 has a wide soundstage. Maybe the bass is making it sound less wide to me?
That's because it is when compared to other closed headphones! And the 940 velour pads do open up the soundstage even more, while taming the bass by a good bit. Wasn't my cup of tea, but I can vouch for his statement.
I, however, prefer the sound I get with the MrSpeakers Alpha pads. I'ma borderline basshead, doe!
