So the midst are recessed on them without eq?
Yes, the vocals is a bit recessed so upper-mids?

Nice, that just confirm the suspicious that they are a poor man's Devas, which is a good thing in my opinion. I also got my Devas eqd with similiar parameters with APO but might just try the Autoeq. Thanks for sharing it!Just tried AutoEQ with Hifiman Deva (wired) preset. It's a good match, I can hear the improvement. Mids are not recessed anymore for one.

Never heard the HE400s but no harm taking a gamble with these, you can always sell them if you don't like it and you won't loose too much.If the new HE400se is like the Deva I will be very disappointed. The old HE400s is a far more smooth presentation. The Deva/HE5XX pretty much consists of small peaks and troughs from the mids and up...with some gnarly spikes in the treble making for a very aggressive presentation.
I actually had an HE400se on order up to..well yesterday or something to that effect..but I am simply too impatient to have to wait over a week just to get the headphone shipped out.
I may look into it once it is being sold in Denmark/the EU.

And I just bought an open box 400S from HiFiMAN a few months ago for $119 or I might jump on this 400se on AliExpress.That’s basically what I was thinking
Ahh I see you’re infected just as badly as I am. If I don’t watch my step my apartment somehow transforms into an old radio-operator’s radio shack with headphones on the tables, chairs and some even bustin’ out the drawers. As of now I still only have one head (that listens to music mind you).
Btw I just used the Autoeq preset for the Devas with Peace and it works really good, way better than my manual EQ. As you said mids sound better now, voices are a bit more forward and clearer.

Yeah theres a great database on autoeq. Anyways waiting for mine to arrive to make a proper comparison.Glad you like it man. More reason to think this is a Deva lite.
