    Review by 'smellyfungus' on item 'HiFiMAN HE-400i'

    I am one of the lucky ones to get a chance to be reviewer in the HE-400i "tour".   HiFiMAN has intrigued me since the start of my Head-Fi journey. The HE-400 was the first headphone I purchased where I thought to myself "now I'm getting serious about this headphone thing".   Fast forward to...

    Woo Audio WA7TP (tube power supply) Impressions Thread

    just curious do you have a pic of your tube collection? I swear you must have at least 20 pairs or so with all the backup pairs you order.

    Woo Audio WA7TP (tube power supply) Impressions Thread

    my mullards flash everytime I turn on the wa7tp. just a quick 1-2 second bright white to regular orange ordeal.

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    i personally think the bass on the he400i is just right to be slightly more colored/fun without being overdone/bloated. anything bassier can get fatiguing.   i wish i still had the he400 to see if it really has noticeably more bass as some have claimed. i just remember the treble being so...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    just chiming in to say i got mine for the demo also.   i must say i love the packaging, much better than what the 560 came in. the leather box beats the wooden one in my eyes.   as many have said pictures dont do the cups justice. it is such unique look and makes you want to look at them in...

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    well that's interesting and deviates from the he560 tour rules. I'd expect a pretty thorough review from everyone if you can listen for a month.

    HIFIMAN HE-400i touring event is coming.

    I currently have the HE560, HA-1 and WA7+WA7tp. I listen to most genres with focus on top hits from every decade, indie rock and some kpop. I am interested because I already love my HE560 and was curious if the HE400i would be a good alternate when I am looking for a more colored sound.

    I am interested in seeing general measurements and a comparison between the old vs current production. don't get why that would get deleted.

    I don't recall anyone saying they got a prepaid shipping label. seems misleading that the previous poster mentioned anyone getting one. shipping cost shouldnt be too bad since it's only gonna be the headphone and cable. I'm assuming most will take advantage of their $100 credit. mine will...

    overall the new version does feel more professionally done. I think the veneer looks better in person. glad to have symmetrical pads. the new one has a good amount more clamp, and firmer pads. the preordered one took a little bit to get super comfy though. new cable is nice, wouldn't have gotten...

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    wonder why everyone jumps on a guy who thinks the pm-1 is uncomfortable. its ok to have an opinion. I too will say I thought comfort was ok but not amazing. headband gave me a hotspot and my ears felt a bit trapped in the leather pads. personally think oval is overrated, sennheisers haven't...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    I think if you listen to a lot of hi res flacs the ha-1 is gonna be better since the DAC will be able to extract all the goodness. the wa7 amp section matches my headphones better. ha-1 having both XLR and 1/4" is more a jack of all trades kinda deal. the wa7tp is a worthwhile upgrade if...

    Woo Audio WA7TP (tube power supply) Impressions Thread

    http://m.ebay.com/orderDetails?itemId=161276155994&txnId=1089169594006 is what I got. I'll have to give it more time then go back to stock and see if I hear a difference. I was mainly focused on the bass since that was said to be the biggest difference.

    Woo Audio WA7TP (tube power supply) Impressions Thread

    I've been lazy but figured the people want to hear about tubes. I haven't done a second rotation but have tried all three pairs of tubes I have. i gave each pair a couple days of listening before evaluating. I didn't find the stock and Sylvanias much different. maybe barely smoother/detailed but...

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    gonna disagree with some of the comments from earlier. although I do find the dac section to be stellar I think the amp portion falls behind. running balanced thru the ha-1 with my he-560 I lose some dynamics and micro detail vs my wa7(eh)/wa7tp(mullards). the extension falls short a smidgen on...

    anyone having issues with the tp glass slip sliding around? I put the little rubber things just like my wa7 but the glass easily moves while my wa7 glass doesn't budge.

    I like the new look. I don't care if its fake/real wood, it looks good. I think the black sides/trim gives it a little more of a modern taste. won't know for sure til I have em side by side. I hope that the sonic improvements are actually an improvement to me. are the new pads symmetrical now...

    just got my shipment notify. will be doing impressions with those popular Sylvania's and some IEC mullards. I'm curious about the cryo gold lions but didn't want to spend the money yet.

    Oppo HA-1 Impressions Thread

    dunno if I'd be able to part with my wa7 if the ha-1 does handily beat it. it's easily the most beautiful amp on the market. plus I'm waiting on my wa7tp still. just got the shipping notification but don't expect any comparisons soon. I'm going out of state for a few days.
