No amp required

The he4xx interests me strictly because it’s a planar magnetic that’s able to be driven by a phone… does it have any competition in that regard excluding the LCD-1, oppo pm-3 and sine on ear? Two of which don’t seem to be available and one being far more expensive.

I think the pm3 is the more refined headphone, but it is closed back so it’s a different sound. The lcd1 is also more refined imo, but it’s a different signature and also a different price bracket (the oppo is as well)

Personally not a big fan of the sine on ear

I noticed in another thread you mentioned the 4xx isn’t doable with a phone only (wondering if I should take it off the list)? Also I noticed the 4xx and 58x are on sale for 130 and 135… is that something I should jump on or is it quite common?

Truthfully they can be driven by a phone but they aren’t really that pleasant

Also yes jump on the 58x deal, that’s a very low price lol

Is upgrading the pads recommended?

Highly not recommended it fucks up the whole sound, also the pads are big and soft why would you

the 4xx has been on sale for the past few months. Ive only seen the 58x on sale like 4 times since release. I am suspecting they are just trying to get rid of 4xx’s

Not really, the senn pads keep the sound and are already pretty comfortable imo

Theres pad option when you purchase so I was just curious

Yeah it’s not something I would recommend, they are just trying to get people to buy the dekoni ones that aren’t selling well
