So, I am looking to get the HE 400 and dont know what amp and DAC to get. Right now I have no amp or DAC. Not looking to spend a lot of money on them though. 200$ is ideal. 300$ is the absolute max. I was initially gonna get a HD 650 with an O2+ODAC combo but reading more about it has convinced...

I want to know the differences between them. Which one is more laid back and which one do you prefer? What are the differences in mids, highs, and lows? I would also like to know which one will be better for rock and which one will be better for metal.   thanks

I know I've posted another thread, but I get paid in five days and I really need some advice. I don't have a ton of money to spend on amps right now, but I can come in anywhere below $500 if it's really worth it, though my comfort level is closer to $300 for the time being. I have never...

I was planning on buying the HE400 as a home headphone and the Signature Pro as a portable headphone, however, after reading some review I was actually worried that signature pro might be a better headphone than the he400 despite being closed because the SigPro is a 1300 dollar headphone while...

Greetings fellow head-fiers!   I recently just got my HE-400s and have added velour pads and have custom cables on the way. I love the hell out of these things and wear them along with my Denon d5ks all the time. My only complaint about the headphone is the padding on the headband. I want to...

I want to clarify some things:   I don't want a grado simply because it lacks some of the things I'm looking for. I want a headphone which is good for rock and metal, but has a big soundstage and a decent amount of bass, a grado lacks these things. I won't be using it just for rock/metal, I...

Hello everybody,   First time posting here, long time reader!   Thanks to advice from other threads here,  I have purchased the HE-400 phones. Awesome   What I'm wondering is if my Fiio E9 is holding them back?   If my E9 is holding them back, is there anything else for $250 or...

I just bought a pair of HiFiman HE-400's and they're amazing. I have a FiiO E7 DAC/AMP and though they do power them, I feel I could get MUCH more out of these cans. I heard that the FiiO E17 could power them really well, and I thought why not pair it with the E9K. Does anyone know how this...

I'm currently looking for my first open headphone. I listen primarily to rock and metal, which in this case many people recommend grado. However, from what I've read, grado seems to be a wall of sound with no depth and such. I am just afraid it won't be refined enough for me. Many people...

Here's my issue. I will have a Rx MK2 here in a few months and am looking to get into the full size headphones. Right now the three I'm really looking into are the HE-400, He-500 and the HD650. I currently am running a Westone 2 and E11 and absolutely love the sound, just wish there was a tad...

Hey,    I am upgrading from a pair of audio-technica ad700s, which I love, but it's time for an upgrade. I owned a pair of Denon D2Ks and I didn't really like them compared to the ad700s, everything sounded a bit muffled and recessed.    I'm not really a bass head, prefer mid range...

Hi!   Using the akg k271's mkii for a while gave me a good perspective about what I'm looking in my "perfect headphones" overall I love the akg's, I can sit for hours listening to AC/DC and other rock bands, but, I came to realize that they lack an airy feeling and a wider stage. Currently...

I want to get a cable that will run from receiver to my recliner (laid back)...and it is about 11 to 12 feet.  The stock cable is only about 7 ft.  Are there any cables out there that can be purchased that are under $100 (or even exist at 12').  I can only find aftermarket cables that are...

Been a faithful owner of the He-400's for about a month now.. I love every inch of them.  I definitely plan to hold on to them for a while, but I'm wondering what else is out there?  Let's say no more than $700.  I have the Fiio E17 and the Aune T1 tube amp/dac.    Tastes:  rap, electronic...

Hi,   Does anybody have this combination if so what do you think?   I have the MDAC but not the HE400 but plan to get them soon if i can find some in the uk.
