Description

The bass is somewhat isolated from the rest of the signature and is really good in itself. Powerful with emphasis in the subrange, without exaggerating it. For driving beats or hip-hop a fun affair and quite detailed. But the mids are the deal breaker on the H400s. These are very unbalanced and especially voices are sometimes hard to bear as they can get very shrill. In general the H400S is too bright and tonally inconsistent. The trebles also don't have a big extension and sometimes sound a bit tinny.

The soundstage of the Sennheiser HD400S had a nice feeling of contrast in the height and width domains. It had a strong phantom center, which contrasted well with instruments panned out wide. Additionally, the height felt tall and deep with the sub energy in my chest complimenting the difference in the brighter, airer parts of the high frequencies. The sense of depth was skewed a bit due to the high mid boost, but came through depending on how it the mix used soundstage. It’s almost annoying how predictably reliable Sennheiser’s headphones are. In this price range, the brand offers nothing flashy. Just skillful, well-balanced sound. Now, Sennheiser has introduced two new affordable HD models, which are successors to the HD 4.20. What can you expect in terms of sound signature and performance? Let’s take a look in this Sennheiser HD 400S Review. IN the BOX Although the earpads seem too small for over-ears, they are very ergonomic and manage to be very comfortable for hours with a mixture of lay-on (in front of the ear) and ear wrap (behind the ear). In addition, they have a robust design with enough twist room for the ear cups and adequate padding, although the headband is somewhat uncomfortable.

These headphones have a very low impedance, making them perfect for mobile devices that might not have the power to drive more resistant headphones. The driver is still of Sennheiser’s own design and can balance clarity with power. The detachable cable features a control unit with a built-in mic of excellent quality, especially for calls.The audio cable is removable, but unfortunately the connector is not compatible with external cables. The cable also has a remote and measures 140cm. For example, when I was listening to the song Miles Runs the Voodoo Down by Miles Davis, the wide-panned electric guitars and keys contrasted well with the trumpet in the center. Additionally, the highs of the cymbals and trumpet contrasted wonderful in height from the body of the bass guitar and toms down below the head. The sense of depth wasn’t much to write home about, however came through in the song when the far off snare fills entered. These fills contrasted well with the intimacy of the trumpet. Overview

The Sennheiser HD 400s headphone features a sensitivity of 120 dB and an impedance of 18 Ω. With a total harmonic distortion of 0.5 %, this headphone delivers clear sound quality. The cable length of 1.4 meters makes it easy to use with various devices. Featuring a closed acoustic system, this headphone gives an immersive sound experience. The Y airplane plug and microphone input add to the convenience of usage for travelers and professionals alike. Though it weighs 217 grams, it is comfortable to wear for extended periods.

The Sennheiser HD 400s headphone is a wired headphone with a supraaural ear coupling. It does not feature a noise-canceling microphone. The maximum sound pressure level of 120 dB makes it perfect for listening to music, watching movies, and playing games without any distortion. Constructed with premium materials, it guarantees long-term durability and reliability. The H400S is a headphone for mobile use, which can be used on a cell phone (18 Ohm, 120 dB) without any problems. It has good isolation, but the sound is too inconsistent and rarely works musically. For example, when I was listening to the song Daydreaming by Middle Brother, the stringiness of the acoustic guitar felt emphasized over its body. Additionally, while the electric guitar had a sense of midrange, it leaned a bit toward the high mids. It was able to maintain its sense of harmonic complexity, but had a particular sense of clarity. For other genres, this may have felt somewhat thin, but for this genre it worked quite well. Lastly, the vocal sounded louder in the mix than usual, and stepped forward in the soundstage as well.

The low frequencies of the Sennheiser HD400S has a sub boost around what sounds like 30 Hz. As a result, it gives lots of wonderful energy to songs that utilize sub frequencies as methods of creating emotional impact. It does a great job of making the lows sound big without getting in the way or clouding up the low-mids.

Attention

Featuring a one-button smart remote on the cable, the HD400S lets you take control of your music and calls. Play, pause and skip your music and accept or drop calls – all at the touch of a button. Tapped twice, you can also call on Siri or Google Assistant for voice guidance instructions. You can't speak of naturalness or authenticity with the HD400S and it definitely can't be described as an all-rounder. Stage and imaging are average here. The high frequencies of the Sennheiser HD400S have emphasis in various places across the lower treble, upper treble, and upper octave. However, it also has a cut around what sounds like 9 kHz. As a result, the highs have a unique shape that is able to give detail to high frequency instruments while avoiding sibilance. For example, when I was listening to the song Didn’t Cha Know by Erykah Badu, the high-hat had emphasis, but felt less chunky than usual. It was emphasized more toward the upper treble and octave. Additionally, the hand drum had a slightly different shape than usual, but maintained a good balance in the mix. Lastly, Erykah’s vocal had nice detail and had good audible air during the “oo”s and “hey”s. Soundstage

And it’s got a snug feel, while avoiding being too tight on the head. I also wear glasses, and the cans didn’t tilt them in any direction. Sound isolation is less than fantastic, though it will kill a little ambient hum.The HD 400S offers great high frequency extension, bringing crispy goodness to percussion when listening to pop. At the same time, the highs steer clear of uncomfortable brightness. Testing out some violin solos in this range, there was a decent amount of transparency mixed in with a touch of smoothness. In the highest registers, there was minimal piercing or sibilance, so these cans work well for long listening sessions. Soundstage
