Mani ATH 87
500+ Head-Fier
The build is just fantastic, and trumps Hifiman...
The build of that headphone looks like a blatant copy of HiFiMAN

I'm very happy with my Asgard 2 and 400i,it feels like a solid pairing.
I just got the 400i. I absolutely love everything about these, however i want more bass. I currently have the PA2V2 amp.. what is a good amp/dac combo that'll help me bring out the bass on these lovely cans? using them on my pc.. 320kbs mp3 and flac
320kb and flac ... hahaha good one I'm still rocking the red book.
What is your budget for an amp?
I keep switching between these and my DT770s ... not a chance in hell.
Revisited 'Painkiller' and simply blown away ...

Hmm... my experience is that even with a great dac/amp (a Jotunheim) you're not going to get a lot more bass from the 400i. I've tried a few other amps and even EQ software to try to elevate the low-end, but once you go beyond a slight push, what you end up with is bloat and distortion. On a more positive note, I've gotten some nice but relatively small improvement by swapping pads to the Brainwavz HM5 pleather. I like the 400i bass for the most part, but they just aren't bass-heavy planars.
to me the fitting is loose and do not have the clamping force as compared to audeze or my oppo pm1
Thanks Sovereign. Your post came in after I ordered a new and sealed pair from an eBay seller in US with over 12000 positive feedback. Hopefully that's gonna work out fine. $239 plus shipping and uk taxes. I'm definitely bookmarking headamp though.
What's the deal with changing pads. I thought the 400i shipped with good stock pads?
