New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
Been away for a few months so not sure if this has been discussed. I was part of the pre-order group that had channel cutout issues. When I first plugged the He-400's in I knew I was in love. The bass impact was incredible. I felt them move air. It was incredible to witness that from a...- mgurvits

HE-400 troubleshooting progress update and upgrading program
Well, after receiving my email, Head-Direct sent me a new cable and velour earpads. I was told I was also going to receive the retail box, but that was not sent. The cable I received is different from the original, it is terminated with a 1/8 plug with a 1/4 adapter included. The...- mgurvits

HE-400 troubleshooting progress update and upgrading program
But they didn't say any of that to me. They even emailed me to tell me they received my headphones. If sent in everything just as I got it (as you would with any return or exchange, with any online retailer), why send me back just the headphones?- mgurvits

HE-400 troubleshooting progress update and upgrading program
After waiting patiently for 2 months, I received my "replacement" pair today. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3807/manhattan2012032300271.jpg http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/3408/manhattan2012032300272.jpg What? Headphones were shipped with no cable, and no retail...- mgurvits

Upgrade from XB700
Quote: Over blown huh? Try ordering 3 sets of D2000's from 3 DIFFERENT dealers, just to receive each of them with one of the cups mounts already broken. Then, when you call Denon CS, you are told that they aren't aware of any such issue, and that you shouldn't order Denon headphones...- mgurvits

Right driver went today. Tightening the screws doesn't do anything anymore. Why can't these stay working?!- mgurvits

I've gotta say, QC issues aside, I have fallen in love with the sound of these for electronic music. Its been 5 days and they keep wow-ing me with their combination of clarity, bass punch, and speed. To my ears, they absolutely destroy the Pro900's, which are at a similar price-point.- mgurvits

This was my email: Hello, I received the HE-400 2 days ago and today the left channel has started to cut in and out. I have tried the suggestion posted on Head-Fi.org, but it has not fixed anything. The left channel, goes out, comes back, and goes out again. My order...- mgurvits

I actually had the same weird issue, when I would unplug my source and plug it back in, the sound would come back, just to go out in a few seconds mid song. They've been ok for the past 20 min thou. I've been pressing and shaking them to try to recreate the issue, so far so good. Fingers...- mgurvits

I took the left side apart again and tightened the hell out of the little nuts and screws that sandwich the driver between the two plates. Luckily I had a tiny wrench from my RC days. It seems to have resolved the issue for the time being. Lets see if it lasts. I don't know how many of these...- mgurvits

Just when I started to love these, the left side has begun to act up. Left driver gone, then comes back, then gone again, then comes back half volume. :( Edit: the issue is gone if I press the cup towards my head, but comes back eventually. All the screws and nuts are tight.- mgurvits

Quote: Quote: The only sound quality, to my ears, in which HE400's exceed the HD800 is bass punch. Maybe my understanding of fidelity is wrong, but I thought it had to do with frequency reproduction. I don't think my ears are trained enough to make any kind...- mgurvits

HIFIMAN HE-400 Planar Headphones Pre-order
Day 2, sound working A OK :) That's exactly what I meant to say. Unlike other headphones, the HD800's never feel like they are trying to push sound into my ears (I think it has to do with the driver angle). It sounds as though music is coming from different places around me. I had...- mgurvits
