Wondering about RE-400's
I loved the sound of the RE400s until the left speaker died on me. The same thing happened to me when I had the RE-0. I guess I've just had bad luck with Hifiman IEMs, but if they were more durable they would be my go-to IEMs for sure.- JSitthi

Westone 3 "Gold" Edition + UM56
Just for the record if anyone digs this thread back up, I've been using the Golds for a while now and I regret maybe 80% of what I said about them. Either they've opened up or I've gotten used to their sound, and I've noticed that pairing them up with an O2/ODAC combo isn't the best idea as it...- JSitthi

Whoever told me Westone 3s sound like HE400s is wrong...I bought a pair of W3s and they're very dark and sluggish - sounds like I'm listening to music with my ears plugged from low pressure, no detail at all. Anything else that sounds like the HE400s? Considering IEMs or closed portables...- JSitthi

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
Does anyone think the velour pads make the HE400s sound more sibilant and less bodied? I think I'll be selling my velours as I prefer the sound with pleather pads.- JSitthi

Westone 3 "Gold" Edition + UM56
I received mine today and so far I'm not too impressed. They don't seem like much of an improvement from my SE215s; in fact, they sound similar to them with that boomy bass and lack of detail - just an awful muffling sound. I'm probably going to put them up for sale...- JSitthi

Westone 3 "Gold" Edition + UM56
Quote: I used a generic 20% off code ("FEAR" , probably from Halloween or something). I noticed EarphoneSolutions was having a problem with their product listings; they had two separate pages for the golds. One was $350, the other was $300. Of course, I chose the cheaper one and applied...- JSitthi

Westone 3 "Gold" Edition + UM56
On Earphone Solutions I was able to order the golds at $300 and then apply a 20% off coupon (grand total of $240). Is this a mistake, considering that regular W3s are $350? Will be receiving them soon...- JSitthi

Love my HE400s for their warmth, bass, and slightly bright sound signature, but I can't use them all the time or in a public area. What's a good portable, closed headphone or IEM that has a similar sound signature as the HE400? Would prefer if the price does not exceed $300, but name anything...- JSitthi

New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
Just got a new pair of HE400s from Head Direct after returning the used pairs that came defective from Kraft Street Audio. These are great headphones! I wouldn't change anything about them except the length of the cable...I really don't need 3 meters of cable. That said, would it be possible...- JSitthi

New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
Yes, I was surprised Kraft Street Audio ("fulfilled by Amazon.com" seller) did not check the headphones when they were returned by the previous owner. I made sure to let them know that these headphones are defective and cannot be resold until repaired or replaced. As for now, I'm back on the...- JSitthi

New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
Trying to fix my dead left driver. Upon opening it up, this is what I find: The cables appear to be connected properly, but there is black electrical tape on the wire??? Is this normal?

New Hifiman Headphone HE-400 is out
Guys, I just received a used pair of HE400s from Kraft Street Audio through Amazon and the left speaker is dead...It is not the cable, since switching cables did not fix the problem. What should I do? :(- JSitthi

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
First of all I appreciate everyone's feedback, no wonder I love this place (and why my wallet keeps going empty)! I actually haven't had a chance to listen to the HD650s yet. They're on their way from Sennheiser, but I'm going to pass them on to my friend who missed out on the deal. If I were...- JSitthi

**Hifiman HE-400 Impressions and Discussion Thread**
About to buy these headphones, but I thought I would ask a few questions first. I purchased HD650s during the sale and I almost don't want to give them away because they were such a great deal. I don't have them yet, but I've been reading about how the HE400s may be a better match to my music...- JSitthi

Looking to upgrade from the Shure SE215. I love everything about it, except the highs. I like high treble, almost piercing. Anything comparable to Beyerdynamic DT990 sound signature? Love punchy, low bass, and piercing highs. Midrange should be decent. Under $250 would be great, over-ear wiring...- JSitthi

Beyerdynamic Repair Gone MIA!
Long story short, I sent in a pair of DT 1350s for repair due to a manufacturer's defect and have no clue where it is. I sent them out to the Sound Surgeon in New York, Beyerdynamic's "authorized" repair center. That was January 26th. It's been over 3 weeks and I haven't heard from them...- JSitthi

International Buyers in Classifieds, Scammers?
I just completed an international transaction about a week ago. The way I dealt with it was I forced the buyer to send the money as a gift to protect myself. Of course the buyer is taking a risk, too, especially if the seller runs away with the money, but that's the risk they'll have to take if...- JSitthi
