Thank you! I thought they were beautiful in pictures but even more impressive IRL. There is something about the level of attention to details and quality they exude when you handle them in person. A very good experience indeed.

Welcome to the gang

I was pleasantly surprised to get them today and I haven't been so pleased with a pair of earbuds in a long long time. I'll put them through the next 100 hours to make a proper assessment.
Especially looking forward to your thoughts since I have yet to talk a fellow MX400 owner.
Indeed, the 400Ω is the rarest driver that Wong has used with a total of only thirteen to sixteen earbuds ever made using this impedance driver since it first debuted in the 2018 Blur 1/3 Copper.
Currently, there have only been five (5) earbuds made now using the new version 400Ω driver.
400Ω Newer Version Total = 5
2021 Blur 173 MX400 aPs (2)
2021 Blur 266 MX400 aPs (3)
The older 400Ω driver version was used in six (6) models from 2018 until 2020 (seven models if you consider the 2019 silver metal shelled variant of the Blur 1/3 Copper as a separate model). Approximately, a total of eight to eleven earbuds were ordered and made using the old version 400Ω driver.
400Ω Older Version Total = 8-11
2018 Blur 1/3 Copper; MX400 (1-2)
2018 Blur 400 Silver (1)
2018 Blur Brass; MX400 (2-3)
2018 Blur Brass Mr. White; MX400 (1)
2019 Blur Silver 1/3 Copper Big Elephant; MX400 in Silver Metal Shell (1)
2020 Blur 173 MX400; Original Blur 173 (1-2)
2020 Blur 193 XLR 4-Pin; MX400 (1)

Blur 266 PK32 New Line is the replacement for both the 256/266 PK32 and 256/266 PK16 White Face series. I have updated the Blur Sound Signature Chart as accordingly and have removed White Face as that is no longer available and confusing us.
In regards to your PK32 I don't recall which exact model you have... the 256 or 266 cable? Original, Second Mountain Lower, or the Second Mountain Higher tuning?
If 266, they would fall exactly in-line but slightly to the right of the 266 PK32 New Line with the Second Mountain Lower being first, then Original Tuning, followed by Second Mountain Higher being the furthest away to the right. If 256, the same as above (the same order) but just ever so slightly lower down towards the dark (literally just below the 266 variant).

I chatted with Wong today and got quite a bit of answers to many of our questions... so here we go.
BLUR UPDATE # 4; 1 SEP 2021
1.) Blur 189 Hybrid MX aPs using the new silver + copper "189 Hybrid" cabling will be available sometime inearly to mid October (available now!). Wong said that he has yet to complete all the tuning R&D as he is awaiting on additional silver wiring to arrive. Available in all MX driver configurations: 32/64/150/300/400Ω.
2.) Blur OFC MX300 美魔女 Beautiful Witch aPs Limited Edition will be Coming Soon! Wong is planning to build another small batch of Beautiful Witches, with a slight vocal retune and entirely new cabling, but in limited numbers only.
3.) Blur 266R MX/PK aPs Blur Reference available sometime in November/December will offer a new tuning that Wong calls "Blur Reference Sound". The 266R will come in both MX and PK shell formats and using new cabling identified as "266 Clear" (see below). Depending on the shell type and driver selected this new Blur Reference tuning will range from warm to neutral (you can review the guesstimated range on the Blur Sound Signature Chart which I have updated today with all this information).

Blur 266v3 aka "266 Clear" = copper; Litz copper wire in thick clear insulation; each wire 133 wires; combined both are 266 (used only on Blur 266R MX/PK models)

I must say the new cable for the upcoming reference line is simply beautiful...
Looking forward to the reference series. Will be a difficult decision whether to go PK or MX and indeed, what driver too - but I'm sure Master Wong will help 
.
Also, my Wraith has just been posted so hopefully I can share some impressions at some point next week.
