Is the HE400SE sufficiently different to the Sundara? I don't really need two HP's that sound almost the same.

25 ohm is the Chinese version? How are they different
There are two versions of version 1, as you may already know. I have the international with stealthmagnets

25 and 32 is not the same so far in breakin process of 32.

25Ohm is special! - 32Ohm is still amazing so far but 25Ohm is best to my choice.
Is there a way to see what Ohm i have?

If the HE400SE on the side of the headband is hidden with black writing it is probably 25Ohm.

The 32Ohm has golden letters

The earpads seem 3x times better on 32Ohm.

25Ohm has the worst annoying pads. You will know after couple of months

Which are better? 25 Ohm or 32 Ohm?

I see, so i assume it's close.
They are both awesome no doubt. The 32Ohm has even better resolution. Ambient translation is better.

25Ohm is more focused sound

I forgot to tell you that I am using hybrid cables for HE400SE.

I have two, but usually it is stock susvara cable.

This is not a must, but good cables is definitely

Everything just sounds right with these headphones. Tonality everything. It has a lot better realism than Sundara/Arya/HEK1000.

The perfect soundstage.

The con of headphones being to technical, is that music feels far away. Both Arya and HE1000 felt hard sounding to the "feel" of the planar panels, even though HE1000 stealth was warmer, it was static timing and emotions.

HE400SE both version beats also Sundara to my taste.

Sounds amazing, dude.
I really like it also and even proposed my dad he takes my HE500 and i take his HE400SE. He didn't bite, lol.
Where did you buy your cable, Forza Audioworks?

Yeah forza is great for the price and will beat any stock Hifiman cables, also stock susvara. I have my other forza cable on my Susvara.

Hybrid HPC atleast if you wanna beat Susvaras cables after 1000hours of breakin.
