FWIW, to me it looks like the published sensitivity, impedance and weight are unlike the 400S but are identical to the 400i...
Yeah but from actual measurements those specs doesn't seem to be correct

Welcome to the thread. The stock cable was either too long for portable use and too short for home use for me, you might be the ideal that Hifiman figured the length for.Just posting so that I can follow this thread :.)
Read a lot of posts and I am one of the few who likes the (short) stock cable. Its perfect for my in-house "mobile" use.

yep i saw that but the graph is more close to the 400s ,,FWIW, to me it looks like the published sensitivity, impedance and weight are unlike the 400S but are identical to the 400i...
30+ohms is quite high, I checked my cable and its 1.2 and all my other cables are within 0.9 - 1.2. There might be something wrong with your cable.whats the effect on the sound if I change the stock cable with ofc with impedance less than 1?
why the is impedance of the stock cable at 30+ohms is this intentional? its copper with a silver coat right?

As for what happens when the cable has such a high resistance I'm not sure but I would think it affects the damping factor making the sound a bit warmer but possibly making it muddy in the process.
Good to hear it was a simple problem. I've never noticed any change with different cables for headphones but this is a touchy subject for some. By all means change the cable if there are physical reason such as too short or too long and I would suggest getting some Deoxit to use on the jacks to help prevent getting a bad connection.yeah my bad, I cleaned the cable connectors due to some oily substance that stuck on the end and re-measured the cable (I thinks its the grease from the cup holder that i accidentally touched somehow), its 0.6 now. Anyway a simple good quality ofc cable wont change anything compared to this silvercoated stock one right? I like the quality as its built like a tank but its too hard and kinda short.
