  Hey everyone. This is my first review here on Head-Fi. Been a long time fan of the forum but never really thought about posting a review. I consider myself someone who is starting to become an audiophile and I am currently updating my audio setup. For this review I used primarily the HiFiMan...

Hello all, this is my first post . Ive been researching headphones for gaming on my laptop and listening to music through my ipod . Ive decided on the HiFiMan He-400's. I will mainly use the cans for gaming on my laptop . I have a "gaming" laptop with I think a Realtek soundcard . My question is...

While I was researching which headphones to purchase I felt that there wasn't as many reviews of the HE-400 as I would like, and now that I have them I thought I'd add my thoughts. First off I'm new to the world of audiophile; I've been interested for quite some time but I never had any really...

Hi,   I recently bought the HE-400 from head-direct, and due to some comfort issues + me wanting to upgrade, I want to get return the HE-400.   I have some questions about the process, so I contacted customer support through the website but got no reply yet so I figured I would ask you...

Comparing these two specific headphones.  I'm not going to deny it, I'm an addict and looking for a reason to buy more stuff.  However, this time I am asking, well, because I have too much stuff.  No need in getting more stuff just for the sake of getting more stuff.   At any rate.  I listen...

What amplifier should I get with the HE400's? Thinking of the portable E11 or should I consider something else like the E17 DAC. I like the E11 because it seems portable. But worried about the quality not being as good .   Second, is it "mandatory" that I have an amplifier with this? Does...

Anyone know a good website to pick up a pair of HiFiMAN HE-400's? Also, can someone fill me in on the duties, fees, and taxes associated with imported these headphones from the states?

Just received my HE-400's, which I will be pairing up with my Fiio E17 amp/dac.   I've tested the headphones on several songs / movies. I've been listening to a lot of classical and house music. What should I listen for? I have a pair of iPod earphones, and when I plug them into the Fiio...

Im in the market for a new set of cans. I have the HD598 and am really happy with them. I think I've narrowed it down to the HE-400. I just made some extra money and was wondering if you have any suggestions for alternatives to the HE-400 in the $400-$700 price range. Another option is to get...

I've been doing some research on the HE-400 lately and have run across some old and new posts regarding issues with the build quality and defective parts on the HE-400s.  Are these all old issues?  It sure wouldn't give me that pride in ownership if in the back of my head I wondered if I had a...

I plan on purchasing the HE-400 soon, and I'm wondering which DAC/Amp combination complements its sound well. This is going to be strictly for home use, so if it is possible to buy a separate DAC and amp at this price point it's fine to suggest that as well. I definitely don't want the quality...

So a few years ago I picked up the ATH-M50s before they got real popular and the price skyrocketed on them (I got them on a closeout sale for $89).  When I got them I tested them to make sure they worked alright, then proceeded to break them in with white noise overnight for 3-4 nights before...

What are your overall thoughts? Which has the most detail and clarity?

Hey headfi,  Is there a big difference in performance between the HE-300 and the HE-400?  Thanks 

Looking to switch out my headphone and try the HE-400.  Would it be much of an upgrade going from the DT-880 to the HE-400.  Also, I don't want to keep too many phones, so not sure if I would sell the DT-880 or the Denon D2000 after I purchase the HE-400.  I hate Head-Fi, gives me too much...

What are some closed back, over eared headphones that sound similar to the HiFiman HE-400's without being ridiculously more expensive?

so i got HD650 with Odac and O2 amp.   i want to try Hifiman he-400. But i cant test it before buy. so i need some comments on how they sound compare to HD650 ?   and will the odac/o2 combo be good for HE400 ? should i sell it and buy another dac/amp ?   and are he-4 and he-400 the...

Hi, I am looking for a replacement cable for the headphones stated above.    I have found a lot of custom cable makers and I don't know what makes any of them different because I have no knowledge on cables.   What "brand" would you recommend?   I have been looking at Moon Audio...

Hi guys!   I'd just like some closure on what headphones to end up buying. My current headphones are closed Shure SRH440s and while they were a great upgrade at the time I think I'm ready to step it up and get more serious about my audio   I've narrowed it down to the HE-400s and DT880s...

I currently own the HE-400 I like them very much. I enjoy their  open sound, mids, detail, instrument separation, imaging, and speed. I listen to a lot of EDM, house, vocal  trance, melodic dubstep, rap/hip hop...  although their bass is very good when called for, I sometimes crave for a harder...

Title says it all. Which would be the best suited for the HE 400s. How cold and dry is the O2+ODAC for the HE 400 compared to the others. I am currently leaning more towards the Objective stuff.

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a HE-400 from Moon Audio, but I read some of the alarming and recent posts in the HE-400 thread. I know a lot of the issues were limited to 1st gen, but I still saw some reports of failures with the new models. Since I'm 16 and jobless, I'm expecting that my...

After some thinking, i've decided to expand my budget to 700 dollars. I'm looking for an open headphone which will be best for rock, heavy metal, and pop rock. One thing I strongly dislike is laid back headphones. I want my headphone to sound alive and exciting, but most importantly, fun...

Hi All,   This is my first post here at Head-Fi after lurking around for a couple months. I'm glad to be aboard.   I recently picked up a pair of Hifiman HE-400s, which I'm really loving. I'm powering them with a Project Sunrise II amp, which is proving to be an excellent combo. However...
