I'm going to buy a new headphone and I've decided I'll buy HFI-2400 but there's a lack of review on the internet, especially from the users, I want to know other people's experience with it, and what good amp should I use ? I'm going with no amp for now because I already spend too much lately but eventually I'll buy 1 for sure. thanks in advance

Welcome to Head-Fi.
 
What equipment will you be plugging your new headphones into before buying an amp?

 

[Orky261]

I have a Zune HD right now.

I've also been looking at the HFI 2400 to use unamped, that or the Beyerdynamic DT 990 32 ohm, and you're definitely right about there not being many reviews. I found 3 decent ones on internet sites, but none were in-depth or talked about the sound in depth. I have contacted a few people on the forum through PMs, and they report that they work great unamped, but are amazing with an amp.
 
I'm trying to avoid ever buying an amp to keep my life simple, but when I was looking at amps, the Schiit Asgard was on my mind for a while. Great price-performance, designed to work well with low-impedance headphones like the HFi 2400, and killer looks, if you can take a little heat.
 
Good luck with your search.

Good luck getting any information about the HFI-2400. It's one of those headphones you never hear about.
 
Well, I may just have to pick one up then, and make it more known...

I'll do it if you will.

Me too. I'm getting in on this. If you guys do it, I'll order them by the 23rd. Then we can do a 3-way impressions thread!

You guys might want to wait a bit. My cousin got a pair of HFI-2400s for his birthday three days ago and will let me test them out before I sell them for him (needs money for college books).
 
I should get the pair in my hands by monday the 8th. And will probably sell them at a discounted price here at head-fi after reviewing them and comparing them to my other headphones (m50s, hd280s, dt770s, and proline2500s).

AWESOME. Please please please post detailed impressions/comparisons and all that. Head-fi needs at least one HFI-2400 thread!
 
Oh and if you could post how it performs straight from an ipod or mp3 player, I'd really appreciate it.
 

 

[kesslerjesus]

I'll test them out with my RME ADI-2, an Ipod nano, and an Ipod touch. I'll make sure to be as detailed as possible and include pics

 

[budgetboy]

That's great! You will be doing all of head-fi (myself included, of course) a great service.

Heh, heh, heh...
 
I think we should.

 

[budgetboy]

Yeah, I'm out of this deal. I got a HD650 coming in the mail, really excited!
 
Kesslerjesus - When are you going to post that impressions thread?
