Quote: As far as I know, they are pleathers and you have to order velours separately. I haven't heard DT880s that much... just a few times for a few hours each.... but I would say HE400s are worth the money.

Quote: Well.... about wasting money.... I got them from the egg for $200 (right now they are for $250 but $50 off deal always pops up somewhere). That's cheaper than Objective DAC/O2 combo and you get so many different input options. I also liked the 192/24 dacs (1 dac per channel) on this...

Wow.... This thread keeps growing like crazy....   I am probably going to get a lot of heat for this post....   I received my replacement HE400 approximately 3 weeks ago. Since then, I can't stop listening to all my music collection.   As I previously mentioned in this thread, my...

This is weird issue I'm having.   Today all of a sudden, my left channel stops working randomly. I can't reproduce this effect whenever I want to. It just happens totally in a random manner. I checked the input plug but there is nothing wrong, at least to the naked eye.   There is a...

Quote: Great then. It's settled. I will buy some kind of amplification. And then think about DAC.   Quote: Well, I don't own modern pop/rock/rap CDs. But I have a few 320kbps mp3s of the songs that are always on the radio these days. I wouldn't really say that HE-400 makes them...

Quote: I've been reading all the posts in this thread. Though sometimes when I check after a couple of hours, there are more than 125 unread posts. That drives me nuts.   On the other note.... I usually listen to flac and proper ACDs/SACDs. But I do have a more than few mp3s. Who...

Quote: That's a good point. Wasn't considering/doing any EQing till now.     Quote: Thanks for the tip on the quality/power of the amplification. I did try these with E11. On High gain position and bass boost on position 1 or 2, going over 5 out of 8 on that amp isn't pretty...

I got my replacement this morning and I couldn't be happier.   I would like to thank everyone at HFM for initiating this process and making it so smooth. One of the best customer service I've seen in a while.

It seems like many of us got their HE-400s today. I might be posting this late. I got my replacement he-400 this morning with Velours. And similar to someone here, I had to run to college immediately after that. Didn't feel good at all leaving them unopened.   I originally ordered them from...

I guess mine are going back without the ear pads...

One question though, however stupid it may sound.... they are asking us to send headphones back without ear pads, cables etc. So, am I supposed to remove the stock ear pads and cables and then send the headphones back?

Hi,   I'm new to this forum. Actually this is my first post on head-fi.   First of all, thank you very much for this detailed review project86. I just finished reading all 48 pages of this thread and learned a lot.   I have one question though. In all these pages, there is no mention...
