HE-400i vs HE-500??
Which unit sounds better to you guys? It seems like HE-400i is a lighter and more comfortable unit. HE-500 has more positive reviews on its sound quality. Now, both unit costs the same. HE-500 is 499 dollars as used or open box and HE-400i retails for the same price. Any ideas?- kawaivpc1
