    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Yes that is the cable that comes with it. I can say that I have not had my HE-400i's that long but my cord is starting to go out. I am not a fan of the cord for many reasons a) the right angle plug b) very very short c) very still and swings around a lot

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    So I just got a nice Russian 6n6p tube that i put in my Project Starlight fed from a Emotiva DC-1. WOW this tube with the HE-400i is really really special. It really engages the low end and brings a nice presence. They are still not as tight and in control as the HE-560 but a HUGE difference...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    That is a good point on all fronts about price and about it all. And yes I do consider the 400i to be warm, but not as warm as the PM-2

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I would agree that the 2 downfalls of the HE-400i is a) not a detail monster b) low end can be a bit loose, not bleeding per se, but just not in perfect control with tightness and speed. Though I got my pair for $299 on sale last winter holiday season. I can say that not many other headphones in...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Know that i listen very loud, the low end respond is only good when you get loud. This is the same for most magnetic planer headphones. I think if you are a bass head then the HE-560 which i consider very balanced is not for you. Have you thought about the Fostex X Massdrop?

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    The thing about the mod is that you have to buy the PM-2 for 700 and then the mod is another 700 putting it at 1400 or if you want to buy the modification and the headphones directly for 1400. That is a lot of money to spend on a modified headphone. I did get to hear these modified headphones at...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    So I am trying the OPPO PM-2 right now from the Demo Program here at head-fi and I have to tell you that I like my HE-400i better. I find the PM-2 to be way way way to rolled off on the high end, and the warm mids really flood me. But the biggest thing i did not like about it was that I never...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    I am running my HE-400i's with a Project Starlight running the default OpAmps and a RCA Cleartop 12ua7 tube. I feed that either from a Emotiva Stealth DC-1 or my Schiit Fulla. The tube is huge game changer for me. Sounds amazing.

    Review: 1964 Ears V3 triple driver custom IEM (updated 10/24/12)

    I would say just get it re-shelled. The odds of it fitting right are slim to none. And an Ok fit will mean a serious degradation in the sound. These things require a seal to bring the full spectrum of sound to your ear drums. For that price with the re-she'll it really should not be expensive...

    Review: 1964 Ears V3 triple driver custom IEM (updated 10/24/12)

    thank you for the reply. I ware them for longer periods of time than a few hours. which is why i am wondering if the fit issues are just actual outer ear fatigue or if they have a fit issue in one spot. If the fit is the case then i will refit them for sure. If it is just the nature of customs...

    Review: 1964 Ears V3 triple driver custom IEM (updated 10/24/12)

    So since these are my first CIEM i have a question about fit. I am still in my refit window. My right ear seems perfect, very little sore on the ear itself and i can barley tell they are in my ear at all. The left ear i have to twist a bit farther to get it to seal and when i do the back part of...
