I don’t think they sound better tbh, it’s more preference imo

Also have you considered the dt880 250 ohm?

True the Sennheiser has better midrange but I was pretty excited to try my first planar and the soundstage that the 4xx have

they don’t sound better… it has a different presentation than most headphones that could fool many beginners like myself to make it sound better.

I’ll measure my beyers and see how wide they get.

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:30pm

I don’t know about fool, it is pretty good, but it’s just not clearly superior over the 58x or anything

You have DT880s ? how convinient

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:31pm

I mean the 58x, 4xx, and the dt880 600 ohm are the holy trinity of the sub 200 cans imo lol

Spech · December 22, 2019, 5:32pm

Hmm looking at the graph for the DT880’s, I never considered them

So I have to boost the subbass as well maybe even more but that treble tho

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:32pm

The 600 ohm is the one to go for imo, but you pretty much have to get an amp for them to be usable

250 ohm while not as good as the 600 ohm is more usable without an amp

nah I have 990 pros max they stretched safely got to 28cm manged to stretch it 32cm.

RiceGuru · December 22, 2019, 5:33pm

sounds like you want a 990 my friend

Spech · December 22, 2019, 5:33pm

Idk if I would like that 880 treble

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:34pm

I don’t think he was talking about the treble in a positive light lol, the 990 would be murder to him lol

Spech · December 22, 2019, 5:34pm

When I see the 10-15k area not being reduced on graphs i get worried cuz that area affects me alot I am very sensitive to that area, also the 6k peak is the one that my apple earpods also have and i dont enjoy that, 7k would’ve been preferred

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:35pm

If you are pretty concerned about treble, I unfortunately wouldn’t really recommend the beyers

RiceGuru · December 22, 2019, 5:36pm

ah makes sense thought you meant you wated to add more iun the treble region

Spech · December 22, 2019, 5:36pm

Oof what to do what to do, the 990s have recessed mids so those are out of discussion imediatly also they have boosted 10-15k so yeah definitely out of dicussion

RiceGuru · December 22, 2019, 5:36pm

I wowuldn’t reccomend any beyers and would just stick to senns even over the he 4xx cause I find the 4xx sometimes a wee bit peaky up top

M0N · December 22, 2019, 5:37pm

Well if the 58x would fit you well, I would say go for it, I really don’t think you can go wrong with it imo

Spech · December 22, 2019, 5:39pm

If I had the money I would go for like a DT1990 or some planar in the 300-500 bucks range I mean look at that bass extension:

That’s amazing bass extension for an open back, they do have recessed mids tho oof and that treble, god damn it beyer
