I recently just got myself a Magni/Modi and a pair of HE-400i's.   When I feel like blasting my music, I pump everything up to the highest it can go knob turned all the way on the Magni and software side, and I still feel like it's just not loud enough. I saw two options and I need a bit of...

Let me just say, I just ran out to my driveway and practically tackled the UPS guy for the package, ran inside and started listening.   I went from ATH-AD700x's, wanted a headphone that just put a smile on my face...and boy, these did just that. It has the bass I wanted, the clarity, I've...

I honestly think I'm kinda leaning towards the 400i's now that I've read up on them. Hifiman seems to have seriously upped the quality on them from the 400's. Comes with a nice box, comfort level is way better, all new drivers that from what I read purposely tries to copy the 500's sound. I...

Something I haven't considered, I haven't heard much about them though. Are they worth the $500 price tag instead of going for the 500's?

Cool, just making sure. I guess I'm going to take the plunge then.

Another thing I'm worried about, will the Magni power the HE-500's to a pleasurable point?

$500 is just generally the price I've seen on some used ones around.

I know there's a million and one threads on this question. But I guess I'm looking for answers for my more particular questions.   If I buy HE-400's for $250 and power them with my Magni/Modi and listen to Rap, House, and some occasional Neil Young will I be regretting not going after the...

Just ordered from Robert's superstore. They're 2.1's.

It was Low End Theory. And I literally just sat there giggling. Never felt bass like that before.

Personally I think so yes. The bass is there, it's nice and powerful, it's not overwhelming, it's pretty much perfect in my opinion for bass heavy music. I've listened to some deadmau5, A Tribe Called Quest, all bass heavy stuff and it handles it awesome. Nice powerful bass that presents itself...

Been messing with my Magni and Modi all afternoon, got bored and decided to plug in a pair of Sony XB500's...My head is still spinning from the thumping haha..   Magni + XB500's + A Tribe Called Quest = Dizziness

Yep that's what had a distinct smell of chocolate. As long as everything else matches up I'm sure your fine haha.

The packaging isn't what smells like chocolate, it's that little pouch the headphones are wrapped on when you first unbox.

Just unboxed these things 30 minutes ago, tried them for the first time in work, and I'm pissed that I can't enjoy these things for a few hours. For 30 bucks off Amazon, these things are an absolutely insane pickup.   The seller I bought from off of Amazon was "Robert's super store" I...
