Sold my HE-400s, I simply enjoyed my DT990s more. May have to purchase those again some time.
Finally got my hands on the HE-400. I must say I'm in love with it! Worth every penny. I'll come back with my first impressions of it.
Forgot to ask you guys something: any album recommendation to fully enjoy this headphone?

The HE-400 is better in most cases, but the DT990 has a certain fun factor that it has over the HE-400, as well as a more open and spacious soundstage.
it looks like they'll be back in on monday
- Should audio quality and fidelity be great when running [ iPhone (Spotify) > e17 > HE-400 ] or [ Laptop (Spotify) > e17 > HE-400 ] ?
For me, I'll live with a slightly smaller sound stage in the HE-400s. While it might be minimized compared to other cans such as the DT-990s, I still think it is far above what some of the other offerings I've experienced in the past. I could spend $200+ to opt for another headphone solution to use with the HE-400. But, to me, my bigger priority at the moment is getting a better head band cushion built for mine. I do know that members have posted various methods of improvements for theirs with the Sennheiser pads, etc. on the head band. However, I'm a kind of guy that likes my headphones to look stock, or as the manufacturer would have intended. So, my work will focus on using the same materials for a better head band. I have all the supplies and materials, which will allow me to proceed with the task during this upcoming extended weekend. I'll get some pictures posted of the completed work.
