British firm KEF has decided to follow up on its acclaimed M500 on-ear model with a slimmer, lighter version. It's not easy to follow in the footsteps of a famous sibling, and the work is cut out for the M400 in this regard. However the M400 has form which exceeds its weight class and is a real contender. The M400 would make a terrible boxer as it often remains out for far longer than a ten second count; however it's got us right hooked.

Sorry that this has to be the first reply, butI wouldn't buy KEF again after what happened to my M500s, first one of the hinges came undone due to the screws being loose, then the pleather on both earpads split to reveal the foam inside. I'm really disappointed in the quality.
 
The earpads on the M400s look the same so I would be worried that the same fate would meet them.
 
Besides that I really loved my M500s until the started falling apart.

That's a shame to hear - we haven't experienced anything like that here.
 
Did you get them replaced? Maybe it was a one off.
 
Thanks for the comment anyway
