Great offer - I´m from Germany and just bought these two headphones here. I use them in combination with a La Figaro 336 classic tube headphone amp (similar to the DarkVoice 336).
Only got these for around two weeks now, so this shouldn´t be viewed as a review, but these cans have a really great sound (once broken in a bit, which might at least some hours) and a good bass response compared to some Beyerdynamic Headphones (but not the bass head type and not bleeding in other frequencies, just about the right amount for my taste). They are fast an exact, I absolutely enjoy listening to them with about all types of music. Both headphones are not dark sounding, yet not too bright - they don´t pierce your ears with damn high frequencies. Some Beyerdynamics are a bit harsh in that aspect - these are not...but, in the end it comes down to the complete hifi-chain.
I use my headphones to listen to LPs - although these headphones show a lot of small details, you can still enjoy listening to bad recordings (I have lots of cheaply produced Punk LPs...) on the other side they absolutely shine with good recordings like classical music, jazz, blues, electronic stuff and whatever. You can´t really go wrong with these until you´re a basshead.
Both weight close to nothing and the clamping-force is really low which is an absolut joy if you want to listen for hours. The 450s clamping force is close to zero (at least on my ones) - the earpads used on this ones are narrower than the ones on the open 400 - but, keep in mind that these are changeable and there are lots of others to test out for adjusting the sound and comfort to your own tastes - I´ll definitely try other combinations in the future. There are options on the webpage of the manufacturer and as far as I know others like the ones from Beyerdynamic also fit.

MightyChris...just changed the earpads from the close 450 to the open 400, the 400 sounds even better now - more details, more realistic, some frequencies seem to be better presented now and once again there´s a good bass response and there are no piercing highs - still no regrets, would buy these things again in a heartbeat. Great quality for a great price and Made in Germany. It´s definitely worth trying out some different earpads!
