RE: Before you spend $600 on a set of cans...

Read the review you referenced, and this line gave me pause: "Bassheads beware: The HD400S is probably not the headphone for you." I used the HD-580's with my MacBook, and using the EQ (only a 10 band, not even a 2/3 or 1/3 octave) I needed an 8db boost at 64Hz, 4db boost at 125Hz, and a 2db boost at 250Hz (really a low mid-range frequency) to get them to sound like I wanted. Unfortunately, of course, the clarity and detail was lacking vs my regular rig. So my question back to you is does the HD400S have that much additional low end?
