Well almost 3 weeks further and so far so good. I got some superglue and it's holding on fine, you don't see a thing. It broke off in a good way, clean parts which were easy to get back together. The sound quality is imo so much above the DT770 that I used in the meantime, I guess I just don't...

One side of the headband broke off (left side). I'm surprised it even hold on for so long. I think I'll try it with superglue first, but if that doesn't hold/help I might try to attach one of these replacement headbands from Hifiman. I'm using a DT 770 Pro 80ohm for now but, for me, the HE-400...

Yeah I have the grill removed and it sounds more open, more of an out of your head experience. With some sounds I have to take off the headphones to check if it isn't something from outside or behind me, its that spatial. I'm not too worried with the open grill, it's only used by me. Have seen...

Having used a standard gaming headphones because I was gaming quite a lot, so my HE-400 didn't get a lot of attention. Having it now on and listening to some techno/dance tracks the difference is absolute night and day, which is not weird because of the gaming headphones. But the HE-400 keep on...

Just attached a HD 580/600 replacement band with velcro and the top of my head likes it. :) I always had to move it somewhat after listening for a longer period. Not anymore. Had to adjust the band to the highest setting otherwise the cups wouldn't fit my ears, but this is fine. (now a decent...

The perfect headset stand. An empty whisky bottle box. :wink:

Thanks for the tip about the HE-6SE, I'll keep an eye out when it's on sale again. Right now I still can't believe the change in sound, no more weird mid harshness and it's more open/smoother and still have that amazing bass. That weird mid thing was also affecting some lower kick sounds,can't...

I've been on the verge of replacing my HE-400 for either a Sundara or Ananda. Reason was that I was experiencing (for a longer time) some sort of harshness in mostly male voices or guitar parts. Like it was a bit too loud/mechanical. It's not the highs/sibilance that you usually read about these...

Got the velour pads and have been listening to them for some time now. They are quite sturdy, definitely harder then the pleather ones (but they we're so worn down my ear touched the drivers, so this is a much improvement). It definitely changes the sound. The vocals are more airy which I do...

Okay for now I've ordered the Hifiman velour pads but I might check out others in the near future as well. First I'm going to see if this is anything I like. The pleathers are completely worn out and you can see the foam completely in both cans. btw: if I would order pads from other vendors, I...

Well I've ordered the velour pads as a first try. (somehow my phones didn't came with it and it was new). Never removed the original pleather pads and thought I would break something but I tried this morning it's super easy so I'm confident about it. Now that it's easy I might try out some other...

As amigomatt, I haven't been here for quite some time and also wanted to say I still have my HE400 and love them. Needs a bit of EQ but after that they're still great to have. They are completely stock, probably latest batch because it was already hard to buy new. The (also original) leather ear...

I get short dropouts with the ASIO driver (I uninstalled wasapi first, also uninstalled the Modi2uber driver, installed fresh and then ASIO). Played a little bit with the buffers etc but that doesn't seem to help. As soon as I went back to wasapi no more dropouts. Couldn't tell if the sound...

An interesting swap, but understandable if space is limited. Plus with the Magni2Uber you get the Schiit sound. :-) I would upgrade/swap from my Modi2Uber (+cash) to Bifrost if anyone would be interested.

I'm using the HE400 with an Asgard 2 on high gain and it still amazes. Lots of other good amps around, though I only have experience with the A2 and thats a fine experience.
