HiFiman HE-500 (HE as in High End) Proving to be an enjoyable experience in listening.
What source and power supply were you using? An O2 at 2.5 gain gets the HE-500s to play extremely loud, if you have a source that provides 2 Vrms. This is with a JDSLabs O2 and a kit version I built using the ODAC as source.- FrederikS|TPU

Project86 is right on the money. Was going thorugh a lot of different in-ears when doing my review of them and the RE-400s are extremely pleasing to listen to. I put it up here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HiFiMAN/RE-400/- FrederikS|TPU

Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)
Isn't the AD797 design available in a normal DIP-8 package? I am asking because a Danish site is listing some AD797ANZ and I am very tempted. I am sorry if it is a stupid question. Cheers, Fred- FrederikS|TPU

HIFIMAN HE-400 Planar Headphones Pre-order
Quote: The presentation of the midrange is very similar. It has the same sweet / liquid qualities as the HE-500s albeit a bit more pronounced on the HE-400s off the Fostex HP-P1 I am doing some tests on a balanced rig right now to see if there is a discernable difference. They are not...- FrederikS|TPU

HIFIMAN HE-400 Planar Headphones Pre-order
Quote: It has a lot of presence and the bass has good weight to it. The sound stage is intimate yet big enough to give a sense of space that is three dimensional.- FrederikS|TPU

HIFIMAN HE-400 Planar Headphones Pre-order
Been using the HE-400s for a week now and they have a quite dark tonality and slightly less sparkle than the HE-500s. They have a detail level in the midrange that is similar to that of the HE-500s, but not quite up there. Bass wise they deliver a lot of punch and the extension is comparable to...- FrederikS|TPU

HiFiMan HE-300 Coming Soon!
@rawster I based primarily upon my experience with the SR-325is which I had on loan from a friend for a month. I have had the SR-60s for ages and have modded them a lot so I do not use them for comparison anymore. I do not know anything about the Magnum sorry. Correct me if I am wrong but...- FrederikS|TPU

It is a known issues with the pades for the HE-series headphones. New pads should be released within two weeks according to posts in another thread. These should be deeper and have a new mounting system. ...- FrederikS|TPU

HiFiMan HE-300 Coming Soon!
It sounds like a smoother Grado with less emphasized highs, very little sibilance, yet retaining the same airy presentation. The soundstage is marginally better and more coherent. They have roughly the same level of detail richness. The HE-300s are very engaging and airy to these ears.- FrederikS|TPU
