Sennheiser HD 400 Pro - Open Back Studio Headphones - Good for Mixing?

Sennheiser's HD 400 Pro is a new headphone designed for studio mix work, with price tag just over £200. Tom gets them analysed and compares them to the HD 600 Studio workhorse of the past couple of decades.
We forgot to mention these are 120 Ohm and do benefit from a decent headphone amp, Something like the ifi Zen Can or Topping L20 / A30 Pro would do really well for a modest investment if your interface hasn't got enough power.

Tom's EQ Corrective Profile (Based on the Harman Hybrid target curve, 2013 bass / 2019 Highs with extended treble to replicate studio monitors)

Put this into a parametric EQ on your monitor bus (if you have one) or as the last plugin on your mix bus (but don't forget to disable before you bounce) PC Music listeners can also load this into Equalizer APO.
