This is where the HD 4 justifies its existence.
Most Bluetooth headphones in the mid-range price bracket suffer from "V-shaped fever"—they crank the bass and treble to mask mediocre drivers. The HD 4 series takes a different path. It offers a sound signature that is remarkably balanced.
If you are moving up from generic earbuds, the soundstage (the feeling of space between instruments) will be a revelation. It feels less like the music is playing inside your skull and more like it’s happening just in front of your forehead.
