No, they're pop.
Come on people...don't make me break out the PS.
I'll be a critique here and say that you made a mistake making that greyscale. The identity of HE400 lies in its dark blue hue.
I just got my HE400 in this afternoon. I have to tell you that I'm not very impressed. The only substantial difference that I can hear is a wider soundstage than my moded Monoprice $20 phones. The one huge drawback is that they just aren't very loud. I have the iBasso D10 cranked all of the way up to get near my normal listening level. My Monoprice, Etymotics, and Grado's get cranked less than half way to get to that level. Is there something wrong with these or is this normal?
Sexy.
Hifiman needs a red planar magnetic.

Is Nickleback even a real rock band anymore?

That's NOT a drawback, you just didn't do enough research beforehand to anticipate how much amping is required. Your own fault.
Planar magnetic headphones are much less efficient than most dynamic headphones, and even though HE400 is the most efficient of the family line, it still isn't (from an absolute standpoint).
Lol, loudness =/= quality
