I think it looks a lot better than the HE560, that veneer just doesn't work.

My initial impressions are a little more lively in treble than the He-500s with a tad less bass and slightly smaller sound stage. They ship with a much better cable than the 500s and are much lighter which makes them feel a little cheaper. They are much easier to drive than the 500s meaning you can plug them into your smart phone / mp3 and get decent output.
Less bass than the 500??????
Can anyone confirm this. That sucks!!!!
Initial impressions are.. surprisingly black! I was expecting dark blue! I had bestintheverse from reddit/r/headphones make me a blue paracord hifiman cable in preperation for these, too! Oh well can't win em all.
These are the third most comfortable headphones I've ever worn.. close to most comfy.. Just slightly below sony mdr-ma900 and my zmf t50rp with leather suspension band and hm5 pads. I think the slightly less comfort is because the he400i has more clamp and the pads are smaller around.. but they are still very comfortable.
edit: oh also.. I have the earpads adjustment set at maximum extension.. they are comfortable but if I had a bigger/taller head they might be too small. I'm 6'2" and uh.. "heavyset"
