I ordered a pair of teaks.

I was between Hifiman HE400is and AudioQuest Nighthawks, but now I'm thinking of getting in on the drop. Thoughts?

What's the difference between the HE-400I And the HE400S?

  Thanks! I sit in an office by myself, so I would definitely consider other open cans as well. I'll check those two out.

I've had my HP100's for about 4 years now and the sound is starting to fade in and out. I've loved them since I got them, but I think it's time for some new ones.   I don't travel with them often, and I mainly use them at my desk at work with a Fiio E09k amp and Fiio E17 DAC. The music I...

I checked out the M80s at an airport store (can't remember where I was), and I remember liking the sound but the isolation wasn't enough for me.   The SoundMAGICs are by far my favorite out of the group I've tried (admittedly, I haven't heard the HD25s), even unamped. I haven't listened to...

Quote:     I actually ended up ordering (I would rank them in this order):   HP100s (unamped) M50s UE6000   I've been traveling a good amount, but will try to get my thoughts on each one up here in the next couple of days.   In summary, I found the HP100s to be the most...

That's what people say.  Everyone who has heard them has had nothing but good things to say. Although, admittedly, there's not many people who have them.

Will do.   I just started a new job (with a lot of traveling) so I'm looking to replace my Bose QC2 (my brother lost them a few years ago). If these weren't mainly for travel, I'd probably opt for the 200s vs the 100s.   I was also thinking of getting the Fiio E17 to drive them as it's...

Quote:   Just ordered the HP-100s (along with M50s and UE6000s). I'm looking forward to seeing how they all compare.

Thanks. Do the Mad Dogs need an amp?

Thanks for the help, KG Jag.   Do you think there's anything else that I should be looking at (my budget is up to $400)?

I just came across Head-Fi today and have spent my entire night reading the sight.  I have a couple on long flights coming up soon (one on Friday) and wanted to get a set of headphones to replace my Bose QC2 - I only used them on airplanes and got them for the noise cancelling feature.  ...
