**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread** - Page 567

I guess ill ship in Poland then. Prices here do seem to be far more expensive on hifiman products so i should even get a better deal.

Thx for your help, now lets just try to get an LCD-2 vs HIFIMAN 500 and get my endgame HP :D.

Beaver,

then I should do fine since I'm, well, folically challenged 

This is off topic, but I bought a universal IEM, the TDK BA-200. First I wanted to buy the vsonic GR07, but the BA-200 should be a bit more neutral, with less treble. I'm not sure whether I will like it, it uses balanced armatures, and I didn't like them in the shure se425. 

The thing that pushed me towards the BA-200 the most was the fact that I could purchase them from the UK, so no import taxes or anything. 

I really love the HE-400, but it is a full sized headphone, which can be a bit annoying sometimes, especially when your hair is drying, or you're playing a competitive video game (lotsa sweat), or playing the drums(sweat, so much of it).  And obviously an IEM is very transportable.

I know man, but the thing is, it's way more expensive than the BA-200 for me. About 200 euros in total, that's about 260 usd. The BA-200 was only 169 euros, and it will be here within a week (instead of a month). Plus I can always return them, and get the GR07, which will probably happen.

Don't underestimate the inconvience of the dutch border... I had to pay 30 euros of import taxes for the J$ pads, which were 40 usd, and had to wait over a month.

Here's a quick pic. It's a pretty tight fit around the stock headband and will probably require some modification to the travel case.

Did your HE-400 come with that case?

Thanks for the info.

I was already emailing Justin requesting a travel case(just kidding ).

Anyway, I'm needing a case like that. I think I'll buy it.

Vegan on the left, leather on the right.

Very similar, but the vegan maintained a higher amount of treble, if slightly, as I mentioned. That paired with the pad differences, is probably why I felt the vegan version to be slightly less warm with more sparkle. The area between 1khz to just over 2khz has a bigger drop on the leather than the vegan as well... about 4db in the section after 2khz, if I'm reading it correctly.

Any way you could take the photo again in better light? I can't even see the right photo with my crap monitor.

I really like it, I only wish it had a dedicated storage space inside or maybe a zipper pouch on the outside. 

There's definitely room on top of the central foam between the headphones so I'm going to look for a decent pouch to velcro on there.
