I don't mind the waiting as much as I do the lack of direct notifications and updates. If I hadn't read this whole thread, I would have no idea what's going on.

I have an issue with the depiction they have of the HE-4, which to me is utter BS. The HE-4 isn't special? What? IMHO, it takes everything that made the DT880 good, and mixed it with everything that made the DT990 good, and improved on them both.
But anyways. :rolleyes:

Hey maybe you have a valid point there? Fang did say this particular headset was aimed at westerners right?

I bet some have no idea in actuality what he actually meant by saying that!
My inexperience tells me, we as westerners like music that is colored.

It's possible I could be wrong?

"Boosted in the low end as well as the hi end"

Hey I like my set when its working but im not an audiophile so I actualy should not make statements on or about this subject.
I just have to say

"Eagle ear audiophiles that purchased the headset should have known the set is colored not flat because it's inventor said it in a round about way"

Manufacturering marketing in mainstream audio it seems never changes when it comes to audio it's been the same forever for westerners.

That crowned signature/smile

So whoever purchases this headset and expects it to sound like an HE-500 will be the one looking for the holy grail at a lower price point and finds nothing but their time n funds wasted.

Tis headset never was made to sound like the 500 how can it when it was purposely made not to be as flat as the 500 " by it's creator"

Do we even know what we want?

Haha! Smile

Hey maybe someone said westerners love DT 770,880,990 maybe we make next orthodynamic sound similar ??

Some imagination I have

idk if anyone's still wondering but to pass along the response I got directly from Head-Direct:
 
"since 2nd batch had been improved, 3 year warranty is for 1nd batch only.
 
estimated shipping day is 11st, Feb. pls kindly wait."

For the guys at headfonia, hd650 seems to be like their bench mark.  They mention them in he-400 review as well as their other reviews.  I would love to hear more on the topic from those with experience in both headphones.  

 

[olegausany]

I'm waiting for my pair to be shipped on Feb 11 after second batch will be manufactured and compare them to HD650 myself

Hi Dr. Fang, you have a PM re refund for the he-400 preorder.

 

[detoxguy]

email works. Did this post have any kind of point?

I love the Blue. I'm sure they would look sharp in any color. Can't wait till the reviews start coming in. I was able to enjoy Chinese New Year in Malaysia two years ago. What a treat. The only problem I had was all the stereo stores in the mall next to me we're closed. I could only press my face on the windows trying to see around corners. I did purchse a inexpensive pair of headphones from a music store just so I could bring something back with me to remember the trip.

I have them for two weeks already. As I reported earlier, they have been working fine (except in the first hour when the left side was completely dead).
 
A question about sound signature for those who have more experience with orthodynamic phones. HE400 sounds great to me, but its sound takes on a "sheen" at all frequencies (especially the mids). I was watching a movie with HE400 last night, and dialogues just sounded unnatural with the "metallic" sound. And it's not just dialogue: In one scene, the protagonist sang with a guitar. Before the camera panned to the protagonist, I thought the protagonist just turned on his TV (rather than just started signing)! 
 
Is "metallic" a signature of orthodynamic phones?
