I've just received my first ever pair of audiophile headphones, purchased from fellow Head-Fier mvrk10256. (Thanks, mvrk!) They are, of course, the HiFiMAN HE-400. I suppose it's strangely appropriate that I am running the HE-400 (a comparatively inexpensive planar magnetic) from a very...

Hello there! I'm looking into purchasing a pair of Hifiman HE-400's. I know they are very efficient and can be driven easily, but I'm still wondering. So, will a PA2v2 drive the HE-400's well? If not, would an O2 do any better? Please let me know! Thanks.

I'm looking for a pare of dac and amps for under 300 dollars and I hope that these will work well enough for these headphones. Will they?

So these are both the headphones in my price range. I plan on buying an amp and dac, the schiit magni and modi, because those are affordable too. I am used to using sennheiser hd588 headphones with the foam mod, and I just want to upgrade. I listen to a lot of varying types of music from...

Hello everybody,   I already own the AKG Q701 and I'm planning on buying the HE-400 while on sale. I'm now looking for a good, full-sized amp to drive both of these headphones.   I was already set on the Schiit Lyr, which now sells for an amazing 300$ for B-stock. But, I'm form Europe and...

Not sure if I'm breaking the rules right now. Sorry if I am. However this deal is so good I wanted to share. Grab a brand new pair on amazon for 300 dollars.

About:   Being a huge fan of EDM, I purchased the HE-400 back in May and immediately found myself on a roller coaster ride. Being fairly sensitive to treble, I probably should have read into the HE-400 more than I did since the sibilance came as a great surprise. These are the headphones...

Hello folks.   I have a Schiit Modi + Magni, and listen to 24/96 audio with my HE-400 headphones. I'm thinking of buying the new Schiit Loki and trying out DSD64 sources (played with Audirvana). Do you think my amp and headphones (that is, Magni and HE-400), are resolving enough that it would...

Hi everyone,   I'll go straight to the point: in your opinion, which one is better to listen to EDM? The HiFiMan HE-400 or the Philips Fidelio X1?       VS      Which one has more bass? Which one has better-quality bass?   Comfort, design, driveability, etc... are not a factor. I want...

Everything is in the title: in your opinion, what is the best headphone amp to pair with a HiFiMan HE-400, for less than $500?   Thanks :)

Good morning everyone, We've got stolen in our house and I need to replace a pair of headphone. Originally I owned the Grado 325. The insurance company is allowing me and amount and I am allowed to purchase any pair of headphone up to that amount. If it exceeds, I pay the difference.... Anyway...

I have been gone from Head-Fi for awhile due to a very busy school schedule.   I know there are several threads and recommendations online but I haven't found an opinion that helped my situation. I have had my eyes on the HE-400's for over a year but due to cost I have not pulled the trigger...

so i am pretty new to good audio headphones. and im wanting to get a good pair. been perusing these forums for a few months. ive taken a look at a lot of headphones and saw a lot of pictures to get a taste in what i like. ive gotten a taste for pretty basic non flashy headphones but big on...

Budget - $400 would be the absolute max if I could order them on amazon, I have some credit there. Source - I'm planning on purchasing an o2 unless there is something much cheaper that would give everything than an o2 would. Right now I have an Astro Mixamp hooked up to a Fatality Pro sound...

I am looking to enter into the audiophile world. I'm hoping to find as nice a pair of headphones as possible in the Used Market for around $300, as that fits well into my budget and allows me room to purchase a nice Amp and possibly DAC to pair with them. I will likely have a microphone added to...

Should I buy an he-400 or buy a dt990 + bottlehead crack with speedball upgrade? Assuming both headphones would get enough amping, which would provide an overall better sound quality?

A quite basic question, but I am unaware of the advantages or disadvantages of each. I began my "audiophile" journey with the Dt880 premium 250 ohm, but decided to return those after I found them too laid back and boring for me. I'm now looking into buying either of the two above. My cousin...

Some of you may or may not remember me...well...It's been about 8 or so months since I got the Hifiman HE-400s...and...while I love the headphones themselves...I absolutely hate the cables that Hifiman makes. Both the cable it came with and my replacement cable arrived, basically, well, falling...

Just bought these headphones about 2 weeks ago, and i am blown away by these when compared to my Sennheiser hd650 headphones! But will warn you....these take a heck of alot of power to drive! I got my little dot mk3 tube amp's impedance turned up to 300+ ohms! But these will blow you away!! :-)

HI, I have a fiio e17 which i run my HE400's from, i like it but sometimes it's laying around somewhere in my house and i don't want to go get it i noticed the Xonar cards in the store the other day, they are really cheap, how is their amp section?  i'm currently building a proper desktop amp...

Hi everybody, I need an amp/DAC combo for HE 400. I would like to invest a bit more and use a bit more my headphones while working by computer. Never had any special amplification for headphones ... because I have mainly listened to music via speaker system. Basically I would like to spend...

So, I'm about the drop the cash on a pair of HE-400s (they're in my HiFiMan cart right now), but I have a few questions before I pull the trigger. - Does the stock cable terminate with a 1/4 or 1/8 jack, and does it have an adapter for the other? I need both jacks. - Is it worth buying the...

I want to buy the HE-400's for listening to edm and gaming, but I am unsure of what else I need to buy to make the full use of them and have Virtual 5.1 (or 7.1 if it's any good). I've seen in Mad Lust Envy's thread that he connects from his console to the Astro Mixamp to his e17, but that is...

This may be VERY difficult to answer (I know its an odd question) but if anyone here has heard both the Westone 4R Quad-Driver IEM and the HifiMan HE-400's, which did you find more enjoyable to use? Is one more musically accurate or fun than the other?   I understand that we're talking...
