  The more I listen to these HE560, the more I love them. Ended up I've sold the TH900 and T1 in the past two weeks, now I'm selling the HD800 as well. No point keeping these open back headphones (well, the TH900 is closed back, but it's more or less like an open back one) with HE560 lying around, to me at least  

sounds very promising
theres a bargain at the moment for the t-1, but such a statement lets my peacefully wait for the final version.
comfort and sonic realism are my top priorities

  Headfonia reports shipping to start mid June (stated by hifiman)

 
That's good news. I'd like to see hifiman chime in and confirm it. Or if they are not sure that's fine. Just say that's the target date.

Hi Matt, that info on Headfonia came from me and I got it from Fang. We are bringing the latest HE-560 and HE-400i with us to The Newport Show next week and if all goes well, we will be shipping HE-560 by mid-June and HE-400i later in June. 
 
Fang reports that HiFiMAN has continued to improve both models and that they are sounding better than ever. We just have to make sure all the niggling issues have been resolved. 
 
Until they actually ship, everything is a target date.

Thanks Peter
Looking forward to 560/400i comparisons from the Newport Show then
And looking forward to my very own 560 [or 400i?

 Those comparisons prior to release will be useful]

Thank you for confirming. It's certainly appreciated that you take the time to keep us up to date on where you are with both of these products. I know that team Hifiman is grateful for all of us who put down our hard earned money in anticipation of a great product and for our patience while the product is delayed well past the scheduled release date. 
 
Of course we all want a "finished" product out of the gate on launch day whenever that may be. Personally I'm willing to wait until the product is right rather than have to deal with problems or issues that require sending the product back. 
 
Please keep us up to date as your schedule allows and don't forget that we are all waiting patiently for news from you. Could you elaborate on the changes that you mentioned earlier and if possible please share a picture of the latest revision?
 
Matt

Matt, I don't have any current images but expect to around Newport.
 
Best bet is for us to post an update once we have the new 560s and at that point, we should have more clarity on when we are shipping. 
 
Thanks for your continued interest.

Thanks, Peter.
 
Will preview models of the 400i be sent out as they were for the 560?

 

[hifiman-us]

We should know more after The Newport Show.
 
If any Head-Fiers are attending the show, HiFiMAN will be in the Hilton in Headphonium2. Stop by and see us. Along with Fang, Summer will be there too.

I will offer my listening services and promise pictures and a mini review...just need someone to spring for the plane ticket.

There's a thread on THE Show Newport here: THE Show Newport: Head fi style . Depending on things, I may go. I'm sure there will be people posting pics of stuff they see there in the impressions thread. I'm sure the HE-560 will be a featured part of that.

  The production version has been finalized, and is currently in the final stage of testing. It looks a lot different than the ones you have seen. Personally i really like the new look. It has a more contemporary and modern feel.
 
 

 
 

Yes, that's true. But I mean HFM could bring out a corresponding model with the same tonal signature but without wood, just a personal dream....
