I am also getting this problem with my HE-400, with the right channel stop working sometimes. This one was from a replacement of another HE-400 that had a lesser problem with the right channel.

To make sure is this the revision 3.5 / revision 2?
 

 
 
 
Will see if test headphone for a while then will contact Hifiman if the problem still exist.

You guys'll be the ruin of me. Ordered the HE-400s last night. Was only after ordering that I realized I could be stung for 20% import tax. What's even more worrying is that I don't care :D

Gotta get my hands on an old amp/receiver now asap.

Took a chance myself, but it went through nicely. Had HeadDirect label the package as low-cost/gift. They'll do it no problem if you let them know (If you ordered from there, that is, and they haven't shipped yet) :)

^^ I really haven't found the them to do any music genre poorly. I like some older rock, Smashing Pumpkins and such and these are great with it.

I'm with Matt on this one. I've tried alot of different rock/metal genres now and for me it really comes down to the quality of the recording and sound engineering. Some rock-recordings are just decent while some are outright amazing (i.e. "Muse - 2nd law"). In general i really like the HE-400's precise bass for most rock-recordings because it makes the soundstage seem less muddy and allows more emphasis on distortion guitars and vocals IF the recording allows it.  So it can be hit and miss in rock-genres for me, but generally it kicks ass :)

Dang that's cheap, cheaper than how much most people are selling second-hand HE400s here on HFi F/T forums even.
