An excellent read. Thanks.

Great writeup.
One question though.
-Did you feel that there were any sibilance issues?
Thank you.

@Jeff Y I didn't hear any sibilance, to my ears anyway. The vocals never sounded harsh, only crystal clear and really detailed.

Good read. Thanks for the detailed review.

Excellent writeup, great comparisons. Thanks!

@avitron142 really great write up friend..am really looking forwards to he-400 to hook it up with my Schiit Vali..but seemingly it has problem up top in treble section putting me off from it..but have been really great to see hifiman comes out with the new HE-400S and heard really great things about it..will it be great hook up with Schiit Vali (>8 ohm output impedance) ?looking forwards for you response..

Great review.  Thanks,

Thanks! This a pretty crowded price point but the planar magnetic is very interesting to me. Trying to decide between these and the Sennheiser 558....

The Bass roles off...
