[REVIEW] HiFiMAN RE-400 - HiFiMAN Produce Yet Another Winner - Page 3

I really like the RE-400 and I'm glad I took a chance on them because I remember awhile back I asked you how they were and you said I wouldn't like them as they're more analytical than what I normally listen to.  These aren't analytical at all, they're just a detailed smooth IEM like Hifiman do and I really like the treble that's very detailed and present but not at all harsh and the bass is much improved over the RE-262 and other old Hifiman IEM's.  

 

I haven't used the RE-400 that much because of how much I'm listening to my HE-400 which are getting me into open-back orthos more than IEM's now as I think they sound better than equally priced IEM's and the HE-500 is next on my list.

How does the RE-400 compare to the RE-262?

 

I see that you've got the HD-600 and would appreciate your thoughts on the sound signature with the RE-400.

I have a question. What is the HiFiMAN sound signature? I'm used to a Sennheiser sound, would I enjoy their brand. Plus these IE's look very good, I need a new pair.

Well, I've only heard the RE-400 and RE0, so I can't give a definitive answer, but they tend to be towards the neutral side of things.

It's actually an extremely great IEM, a great value, a great sound.  It's tuned towards neutral with a slight bass roll off, so if you need big bass, it's not the way to go.  I did also write a more comprehensive review on it: http://www.ifans.com/blog/70440/
