After a month of listening I am loving the HE-400's, hopefully I'll fall into some money over the summer and will buy an amp+dac combo that does them justice (Probably Schiit Lyr and Bitfrost).

Still no word on my shipment :(   Scratch that :D They shipped on Saturday! I just didn't get an email

Waiting for some impressions :D Quote:  

Quote: Does it explicitly say "Waiting for shipping"? Mine just says Paid

Quote:     What about people who haven't preordered? Can we also expect shipment in the coming weeks?

Quote: Thanks a lot for the update. Hope you're enjoying your new born daughter.  

I've emailed them asking for an update.

Actually I've just received a response from Head-Direct Quote:  

Quote: That's not my point. Of course if they need to test them more they should. I'd just like them to keep us updated on what's going on with the shipment.

Quote: This whole situation is slightly bizarre, the lack of news from Head-Direct is just making me expect more delays.

Is the second batch pre-order people only? I've ordered my headphones 2 weeks ago, any chance I can see them shipped out on the 27th?

People here rave about how good those headphones are for electronic music, but can anyone say how they'd fare with different genres? For example could anyone describe how would they perform on songs like Paint it Black - Rolling Stones Wasteland - Woodkid Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin ...

Hey I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones up to about 250 usd. I listen to mostly rap music and a little jazz and rock. I'm open to all types of headphones as long as they're not too large. My previous headset is the Creative Aurvana. What headphones can you recommend me?

Quote:   Thanks, do you think it's maybe worth investing a little more in the the dt 990 premium version? Also why are the dt-880 250Ohm about a third more expensive than the dt-990Ohm? From what I understand the dt880 are slightly worse. 

  Hey there, I'm looking for new headphones and an Amp. I mostly listen to Rock and Jazz (dabble in some hip-hop and classical from time to time ;p) also to a lesser extent I want them for gaming. I originally planned on buying the HD-650, but I feel they're a little bit overpriced in the...

Thanks for your replies. To be honest, Id rather avoid modding my headphones or buying a separate boom microphone, because a headset is a lot more convenient and I don't risk breaking anything. That said, I will attempt to repair my PC 350s microphone and make the few changes to increase the...

Hey there My Pc's 350 microphone gave in a few weeks ago (it just stopped working) and Im looking for a new headset. Originally I was going to get the Astro A40's with the mixamp, but after a little bit of research I decided to give those a rest. Since I really enjoyed my 350's I decided...
