Better by Sennheiser HD 6XX
Maybe I'm spoiled because of many years of using Sennheiser headphones - nothing expensive HD 555 and HD 6XX, but these HiFiMAN HE-X4 does not live up to those standards. I purchased these only to have planar magnetic headphones in my collection. Treble is way too much - so forget to listen to your music loud and for extended period of time - my ears start to hurt. But that probably will not be a problem for all because you will need proper audio equipment to drive these headphones loud. Phone or typical computer audio card will not be able to drive these headphones verry loud. And then there is comfort. At first, they seem comfortable - earpads are truly great and comfortable. But something fishy is going on with headband. Maybe it is little too stiff, maybe there is not enough padding, maybe headband arc is little bit off for me, but in hour or so my head are start to hurt at the point where headband is resting on my head. In conclusion. These are good headphones, but needs equalization and some headband mod. If you don't want to do any of those things, then better spend little bit more money and by Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones instead.
