IMO, it was better at that meet than the Omega II's that were floating around (and there was a great deal of different sources and amplification to try them with). I bought a Lambda Pro, and still have it (having long since bought and sold and Omega II; that headphone is too fucking polite). Lambda Pro has much better dynamics than SR-404 did, and is a great headphone for just rocking out.

They are (with the Nova Signature) my least favorite Lambda and far outclassed even by the Basic headphones or the Spirit. I usually rank it with the HE90 as a headphone I can't recommend without a long audition as they are so far from being neutral.
