Marv is right that they improve with some acoustic fiber modding though. I did that to a pair of HD439's that I picked up cheap last year and it significantly improved the cupped hand coloration and helped somewhat with the muddled bass. (My wife uses them now as her office headphones.)

But yeah, really low resolution. If detailed headphones see plankton or krill then the HD439 is Buster Bluth without his glasses. "I know she's a brownish area...with points!"

Comments appended to each 'phone.

I'll be at NAMM this weekend so I'll try to get a chance to listen to any headphones lying around. New ATs I suppose?

Consider yourself lucky she does not have the Solo HD, version one. There is lack of detail and resolution and there are bass farts to add more shit to a shitty sounding headphone.

Doubtful, they'd have to be available as new stock. That would be better for a vintage centric type thread.

Yep. Original: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-EF0060-Aurvana-Live-Headphones/dp/B000ZJZ7OA/

There are also several "2" models if you check Amazon.
