Redefining the closed-back experience
"Coming from the Final DX3000CL, the DX4000CL have an elevated sense of refinement and technicality, and WAY more clarity in the mids. I was shocked at how much clearer this headphone is over its little brother. Voices are forward, very clear, smooth and textured, and full-bodied. Female vocals like Halsey, Ariana Grande, Evanescence, Cannons, Late Night Alumni, etc. have a very pleasing and sweet, yet authoritative quality to them. There is a nice balance of musicality and technicality displayed here. Busy passages are rendered effortlessly without missing the details. Music doesn't sound congested at all, in fact very open with very good instrument separation, along with the astounding clarity. The DX4000CL dials down a tad the raw intensity, bass quantity, and energy of the DX3000CL to make for a better balanced, highly refined and more mature (yet still fun) listen. The DX3000CL's bombastic factor wasn't so appropriate with certain tracks after a while I found, which is where the 4000s come in. All in all, grateful for both models, as they each serve for particular moods. Don't hesitate to pick up a DX4000CL, it's everything you're looking for!"
