I think the 6400 has more emphasized mid-bass than the 8400. No gigantic hump, but maybe a small one. The 6400 did seem to extend as low as the 8400, but it was a little harder to hear.
For me, the treble on the 8400 is near perfect! It's actually my most treble happy headphone and has very good extension. It might even have TOO MUCH treble. I rarely think this and when it occurs I'll often compare songs with how they are on the Q701 just to be sure. I don't think any frequency on the 8400 jumps out on me, but if anything, it might be the treble just a tad. The most annoying thing is just trying to figure out of it's just a bad recording or what. I could say the 8400's treble to my ears is slightly edgy. Not like the DT-990 or SR-325is though.
The treble on the 6400 seems a tiny bit smoother and less extended. It's actually very hard to tell the difference and sometimes it's even had me fooled.

Yea the bass to me at first sounded really weak, but it was just due to lack of mid-bass. Although to be fair, the mid-bass and sub-bass are both flat, it just appears that the mid-bass is especially missing because most headphones tend to have a bump there in the FR to give that boost, so these tend to be weak there. So since, the mid-bass is flat, the tendency for me, and perhaps other people, is to notice that the sub-bass is present more than the mid-bass when its actually simply people noticing the sub-bass due to their lower than expected mid bass presence. Regarding the highs, these for some genres seem dull to listen to and not always engaging although regardless of the genre can always hear every thing from highs to lows. I will admit that the highs don't have a superb extension, but a decent one - although it fits in very nicely with the rest of spectrum. Mids are definitely neutral on this and pleasing to hear. Following drums and percussive instruments for music production is a delight on this. Regarding the soundstage, I am okay with the width, however the depth seems meh. Anyone with similar thoughts?
