Headphoneus Supremus
Shape, form and SOUND. Had both and they have tons of similarities. I did like the 500 a lot better though
Tons of similarities but big enough differences where it counted (to many). That's stock form, a Jergpad seems to alleviate the one giant flaw of the HE400 according to others who've made the mod; which is a dip in the upper mids right smack in the middle of the higher vocal range. That's a deal breaker to a lot of people including myself which is why I sold mine to go higher up the chain for that refined sound which Orthos are well known for and which many ortho owners rave about. Hence the HE400 being a taste of what a fantastic ortho can bring with refinement at a higher cost.
