Medium head and i like them too . i use them with fiio x5 and out of my sound blaster z and that sound great with both .. i would like to bring them at work and so looking for a amp . did you guys have the chance to compare various amp like fiio e12, objective2 and aune t1 ? have any recommandations ?

I have a big head and the fit is sometimes slightly uncomfortable, clamps weirdly. I tried bending the headband and it helped a little. Not much to complain about.

Have to agree with the others in this thread, I consider my head to be slightly on the large side and I find no problem with the fit of the 400i (especially after stretching the headbands).

Big head and fine... cant imagine much more comfortable headphone. He might need to bend them a little

Hey guys!
 
Just got my HE-400i in the mail today. My 2 year old HE-400 stopped working properly so I decided to upgrade. About time anyway
 
First impressions:
Wow this thing is much lighter than the old HE-400's. More comfortable too. I kinda miss the bass from the HE-400's though. No more sibilance though! Gonna give it time to burn in. Currently using the E17+E09K stack but looking to upgrade those soon too

I use the HE400i with my FiiO X5 and FiiO E12 amp with the bass boost on and they sound amazing, they complement each other perfectly.

next headphone hifiman comes out with will have the bass if the 400 and clarity of the 400i. That will be a product thats hard to beat. I will be first in line

I'll have to try using just my E17 and turning up the bass a little and hear how it sounds!

For sure I've heard great things about the LCD-2 as well but that's for another thread 

 

[Ekul61]

Yes im afraid I a going to try the lcd2. 400i need s a little more bass

 

[TMRaven]

Make sure you get older LCD2s.  Newer Audezes are more neutral.

Yep, as TMRaven says, go for used pre-December 2013 Audeze LCD 2.2's. By fixing/improving the soundstage/separation/detail it appears that the LCD2 have lost the signature bass according to some who have owned older LCD 2.2's to compare.

Just an FYI.. anyone interested in a free set of velour pads for their 400i, check out the HiFiMAN Electronics Facebook page. "HiFiMAN Customer Appreciation Event".  Gotta move fast though, ends tomorrow.

Would this apply to people who purchased the HE-400i from the loaner program? Doesn't seem so..

This is spot on.
