Have to come back and hype these once again, they are super fun sounding imo, wide open soundstage almost no compression and punchy bass. What's not to like? Yeah, maybe the comfort but I find it somewhat ok I can use them for quite lenghty sessions. Sounds mint with progressive metal.

I'm driving them with a SMSL SH-6 and there's plenty of headroom and very clean! And these costs like 140-150$ it's amazing

Even when switching back from Susvara, this headphone amazes me. I like the upper bass notes better on the HE400SE. I

However the build quality is pure garbage. Handle with care and do not press the cups. Slide them on slowly. the crinkle is real on these. I broke a month old 32Ohm version.

I hope I can find another 25Ohm version even though 32Ohm is much more fun, but I find the 25Ohm very flat and realistic, true sounding.

I see you have DAW interfaces. I can strongly recommend you try the SSL12. It has a very capable headphone output. Just needs some burnin. Amazing sound and rock solid driver.

As DAC and headphone amp, it is simply unbelievable. So many features are packed in. Best of all it sounds authentic/organic, no harshness at all.

Going to external amp it really shines! - easily beat DACs price classes above. I have the cheapest balanced cables going to my HE-9 LE

This interface is the one to get!

Can you explain how you did this?

I just noticed I have this problem on my 32Ohm.

I am wondering if the grill upgrade will help the bass not rattle

If you remove the grill on the HE400se' there's a round lip under the grill where you can stick the foam to.
