where can i buy these new in Europe?
I've been enjoying my HE-4XX for the last year, but a few months back I started to get a rattle in the left earphone. I eventually contacted HIFIMAN's customer support (warrantee still had a month left), and I got exchanged a new pair. They were very helpful and quick, and I was surprised by this. Now it seems I'm getting that same rattle in the right earphone this time. It's both irritating when you move slightly, and even leads to some distortion at higher levels. The warranty seems to have technically ended (initial purchase was last August), so I think I might be on my own for this one. I know it's not grill related, or the wire inside. The earpad doesn't affect it either. If you push it anywhere on the outside case, it kind of sounds like a soda can being bent back and forth. I haven't unscrewed it yet, as the screws are too tight (guess those aren't the culprit either). Anyone else here have this issue and know what it could be? Is it a death sentence? Should this be moved to DIY? Am I asking too many questions?

Looking at the used market for these. Do the newer models have dual 3.5 or dual 2.5mm cabling on the drivers?
3.5mm are the newer ones, I think.Looking at the used market for these. Do the newer models have dual 3.5 or dual 2.5mm cabling on the drivers?
I have the xd05 plus, and it sounds great, so I’d assume the basic would sound good too, just a little less power.Just picked these up recently and I'm enjoying them straight out of my Dell XPS laptop, but know I'm leaving a lot on the table in terms of getting the most out of them.
I'm considering picking up the XDUOO XD-05 Basic dac/amp to power these, but haven't seen much feedback on this unit.
Has anyone tried this with the HE-4XX?

And I believe that you will not regret it...Think I might try the 58X next.
I replaced it with a Blue Dragon cable from Moon Audio. The new cable gave the cans more clarity without making them bright or adding any other issues. I like them a lot.Hello all,
I just picked up a pair of HE4xx and don't like the stock cable, looking for a good quality replacement cable that is balanced. Any recommendations?
