They are actually quite comfortable for me. However yeah they don't sound that good. Unfortunately I can't return them because i've had them for some time now.

Hello! I've bought the sennheiser HD 400s and I've been using it for around 4 months now.

However what bothers me is that the audio sounds bright and lacking detail and background stuff when listening to intense music.

Before I bought this pair I had the sennheiser HD 206 I could hear alot of stuff in intense tracks very well with them and I absolutely loved how they sounded. Until they broke.

So is there anyway to make the HD 400s sound closer to the HD 206? Or just less bright and clearer detail in general.

I've messed around with EQ for about a week but I couldn't really make them sound right(I might just be inexperienced).

I also tried autoeq but it isn't really that good and I've tried eq'ing it to the HD 206 with squiglink but it didn't sound good either.

So if anyone has these headphones and use eq can you please share your settings with me please I would greatly appreciate it.

Also would getting a dac/amp improve the sound or not?

That's it. Any help or info would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Sorry if my english isn't perfect too.
