I swapped to the velour pads and things seem to sound a little more balanced.

Hey guys, I have a new pair of he500 and after listening for a few days, i've noticed that the right hand side is a bit more pronounced in vocals. Is it because something's broken with the phones, or is the quality of the output making my own hearing problems more apparent? hah.  The guy at...

alright lemme mull over this, sleep on it. im still slightly suspicious.

Quote: did you buy it from them?

should that be my cue to go for it then?

hey everyone, I was looking to buy a pair. I saw two sellers on ebay selling the headphones for about 350 shipped, here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HiFiMAN-HE-400-Planar-Driver-High-Efficiency-Stereo-Headphones-OverEar-Audio-/400518761597?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item5d40c74c7d and...

thanks! i'll take the question over there! 

Hi! i was looking to pick up a set of HE400s. Lo and behold, on ebay, sellers are both asking for about 350 shipped on a new set with free shipping to boot. These sellers are bigbuycity and webedealin in particular.    I was wondering if it's safe to order from these sellers.

I'm actually in Hong Kong now and from the internet it seems the price of these things here are about 180USD. I'll be picking one up in the coming week. Almost forgot I can take advantage of the fact that I'm out of the states at the moment to grab some neat audio equipment.

I actually ended up biting and getting myself a pair on the goldbox deal. The only thing I have to compare with them is my ath-m50s.   I'd say in general the sessions sound a little less clear but with much more bass. I'm not experienced enough to make any other judgments though.
