Can't believe anyone is still on the fence about these! Been listening to 4XXs and the 6XXs for several months and these are the ones I always grab first, and always enjoy the most--just get 'em!

RayFThe 4xx are great and I'm glad to have them in my collection, but my 6xx with the DarkVoice are my favorite.
4xx don't sound good with the tubes,but kick ass with my X7S.

DavestefMusic lacks punch. DV has an almost muted effect on the 4xx compared to when its driven from a solid stare amp. The controlled low end, bass slam, warmth and delightful mid range and treble I get from the DV with the 6xx just doesn’t exist with the 4xx.

mindhead1I guess I need to get a solid state amp.

DavestefIf you are interested in a balanced amp the X7S is a great affordable option. I think it's great. I base this on the fact that I have no desire to upgrade from it at this time.

mindhead1Have you tried the 4xx with any lower output impedance amps? I found an article/some reviews that say the output impedance of the x7s is 11 ohm, while the impedance of the 4xx is 32ohm. And there’s a Rule that the output impedance of the amp should be no more than 1/8th the impedance of the headphone, or 4ohm in the case of the 4xx. i know I tried my grado sr225 (32 ohm) with my dark voice (32ohm output) and they sounded very Underwhelming.

DavestefYes. I have a Topping NX4 and the 4xx pairs really well with that amp as well. The bass boost on the NX4 provides a nice bump to the 4xx bottom end.
4xx also pretty good with my Audioengine D1.. 4xx is solid with my solid state gear, but not as good with my DarkVoice. I am familiar with the 1/8 impedence huristic but I have no idea what the impedence output of the DarkVoice is.
