Hello all,
I just received my HE-400 headphones today and have them hooked up to my Asus Xonar ST and had a few questions.
First of all, the headphones were really quiet when using the "Normal Gain", so I changed that setting to "High Gain" which resolved that issue, but I'm hardly noticing any bass at all (this was the same thing as my previous headphones).
If I change the equalizer in the Audio Center to the Bass option, it greatly helps, but I really don't want to have to use the equalizer just to be able to hear bass. Does anyone have any suggestions? Will switching out amps help with the bass? Should I buy an external AMP instead? The headphones are brand-new, so I know they need to be burned in; will burning them in increase the bass at all?
I did purchase some replacement Velour pads, but not sure if that will help or not.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
