These vs hd598?
400S for sure, especially with a decent amp. Totally different level

Hi guyssince there is the hifiman 1000 in V2, do you think they will release the 400s V2? What would you like to be changed?
Stock pads (should've come with focus pads / focus pads A)
The silverish color on the headphone should just be black or something
Same with me. At the moment I like how the HE-400S with grill mod sounds with the HM5. There is bass improvement and nothing offensive elsewhere. This means that any changes with the mids and upper bands are negligible to me. There might be differences if I do an A/B comparison. But like I said, nothing warrants an A/B.
Hi, i bought a pair of he400s recently and after burn-in i am very impressed, they sound best (imo) through a hybrid headphone amplifier (x-cans v3 heavily modded by pink floyd in scotland and with pinkie psu) and with a vinyl front-end they approach (for me) nirvana giving me that cross between stax and hd650 that i was looking for - the soundstage is amazing - best of any of my headphones , electrostatic/planar or dynamic and with sufficient bass for the kind of music i listen to (mostly vocal jazz from all eras)
i am amazed at the clarity and definition - the nuance of vocals really comes out well.
The headphone amp gives that little addition of body and tubes to the sound which to me makes them so good.
Overall a veritable bargain.
