IMO the HE-560s are perfect metal/rock headphones. I don't use any EQ, and most of my music is lossless or 320kbps. Haven't really come by an metal/rock album that I can't listen to because of its recording quality. Very little fatigue/sibilance, super tight, great guitar distortion reproduction...- Jussi

Bought a used soloist (2 days used), and after a while, the pin-connectors which were already a bit loose (which apparently happened during shipping from Australia) got even more loose. They got someone to try to fix it locally, got it back and after a few days, same problem came up. Returned it...- Jussi

I had the exact same problem, had to send it back a few times. After much wallet hurt, finished my setup today: Will be interesting to see how the HE-560s stand up against competition in the long term- Jussi

I've mentioned this a few times in the thread, I have the full-sized Soloist (basically the same as the SL), I think it fits perfectly since both are quite neutral.- Jussi

I have the full-sized Soloist and I think it pairs quite well with the HE-560s. The SL is probably enough for these headphones- Jussi

Just got some new info, true or not? channel imbalances can apparently be caused by some microscopic dust on the drivers, which comes from the factory conditions in China. I was told that this issue can be solved by playing loud music through them for a few minutes. I burned them in a bit and...- Jussi

I'm noticing the imbalance around 1K onwards of about 1-2db. *Sighs* Thanks for the help!- Jussi

After moving onto these headphones, has anyone felt like the imaging is slightly more left than usual, e.g. vocals a bit off centre? I feel like mine pair has a very small channel imbalance, with the left channel having more volume than the right. Tested this with the mono-method, and I get the...- Jussi

Since they changed the drivers into single-ended magnets, wouldn't this reduce leakage? Does anyone have the chance to compare?- Jussi

Review by 'Jussi' on item 'HiFiMAN HE-400'
My take on these cans: I've had the HE-400s for about year, and am now running them through a V-Dac II into a Burson soloist. Argon 5057 Cables between the amp and dac. My pair have the revision two casing (White-ish). For modifications, I swapped pleathers for velours and removed...- Jussi

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
My take on these cans.. I've had the HE-400s for about year, and am now running them through a V-Dac II into a Burson soloist. Argon 5057 Cables between the amp and dac. For modifications, I swapped pleathers for velours and removed the mesh that was glued onto the grills, no problems...- Jussi

Differences between Leather, Pleather, and Velour?
Joined the velour team 30mins ago! HE-400's black velour pads are beautiful! Softer and cooler but they don't sit on my ears aswell as the leather pads did. Will have to see how I adapt to them over time. Sonic changes: Have noticed the said increase in brightness! Removes some of the dark...- Jussi
