Just a quick question for folks who have Balanced connections - where did you get your cables for the 4XX? I found a couple on Amazon but I want additional options. My Schiit Jotunheim is on the way so the cable upgrade is going to be wanted sooner than later.

I bought a cable on Amazon from Sukira. It depends on what termination you need. In my case I needed a 4.4mm termination for my Sony. It is a stiff, long cable (6.5ft) and very microphonic. However I only use it at my home listening station and the sound is great.

PS: it also works with Denon's and Meze's headphones

My cable is 4.4mm termination so it is a little different.
I have a KK and A Sukira. I did a head to head last weekend and the Sukira is a superior cable. I did a little write-up in the Meze 99 thread. Because of that headphone I had to buy the second cable (Sukira) and it is noticeably better. Unfortunately it (in Canada) double the price. Also, it is long, stiff and microphonic. But for stationary listening, I don't think you can do better for the money.
Which is too bad as the KK is shorter, softer and cheaper.
Just received my pair 12064 from a December order. Surprised to find it uses 3.5mm plugs. Plan to wait to buy any cables until your pair arrives. Amazed at how good these sound, especially for the price. They look less cheap and feel more comfortable than I thought they’d be, given my main pair are HD700, which feel nearly weightless in comparison.

I was surprised when I bought mine too. After hearing all the horror stories about broken yokes with the other Hifimans, I bought a set with more than a little trepidation. When I finally received them I was happy to find that the yokes were made out of metal and the rest of the headhpones felt very solid.

Just got my HE4XX in. This is my first set of $100+ headphones. The purchase was inspired by my first open back headphone (Audio Technica ATH-AD700X) i got about 7 months ago when my first baby was born. I got them so I could listen to music/play games/ watch TV with the baby sleeping and still hear her wake up. But I realized the sound was something I was definitely missing out on. Open back just sounded so much more, well... open. So I started shopping around for a set to take to work and decided to go planar since I didn't have any yet either. I must say I'm pretty happy with them so far. The first thing that got my attention was the channel separation. It just seemed so much better than the AKG IEMs I had been using at work. I've been playing some songs that I'm very familiar with and I definitely hear things I hadn't heard before.
I'm running them off Fulla 2 right now but now I'm considering upgrading to a better amp. Seems like open back is my gateway drug to the audio equipment addiction.

Actually, the ones that came with my Samsung Note9. I actually think they sound really good for IEMs that are included in a phone's box. They were a huge upgrade from the Sennheiser CX200 I had been using up till then.
Is there a general consensus on what pads to pair with a foam and grill modded 4xx? Also, any other recommended mods other than pad, foam, and grill mods?
