The HFM velour pads are so stiff. The pleathers/jerpads are so much more comfortable.

For any of you considering the Emotiva mini-X a-100 to drive your HE-400's, I thought you might like to see this:

Coming. My Woo Audio headphone stand will be here next week and Im going to take a pic with the HE-500 on the stand on top of the amp powered on. Just have to wait till next week for it. But I figured since there is probably a huge influx of people getting their mini-X a-100 amps from the big Emotiva sale this week, I should get the thread and DIY up now.

  I've since reworked my iTunes balanced EQ to (sorta) match the Olive-Welti target curve.  It definitely does 'lift' the HE-400 out of its laxness, in a sense-- and without adding too much tinny quality that's associated with too much 2khz (*cough* re-400 *cough*)  The only downside to this is the transition from 2-4 and then 4-8khz isn't as smooth as it could be.
 

 
 
Edit: btw the HE-400 aren't too resonant at all.  Have a look at Purrin's CSDs.  About the only thing they really display is a characteristic 'ortho wall' In the upper mids.

 
That's just about exactly the same as how I EQ mine. Sometimes I'll boost the bass up 3 or 4dB when I'm feeling my basshead side but other than that yours is pretty much spot on to what mine looks like.

Got my velour pads today!
 

 
I remember some users have reported that bass improves, but to me though the bass isn't any different.

I wouldn't say that the velours improve the bass. Maybe a little tighter. Not that the bass needs any improvement.

They did absolutely nothing to the bass to me.  The thing they did improve on was making the midrange more defined and less hollow.

Interesting..

Some time the cable unplugged at the exact junction between the black part of the cable and the gold part of the metal connector in the cup


Should I just glue it ?
My he 400 is out of guarantee

Yea velours didnt do anything for bass for me on either the HE-400 or the HE-500. What they did do was tame the harsh highs a bit of the HE-400 and make them sound more balanced finishing off the highs in the HE-500.
