I hate auto correct. I meant to say MY 400i's are just a month old.

These are looking very interesting!
Right now I have a Fidelio X1 which I do like but I'm giving it away (family), so I'm looking for something new.
An X2, HD650 or ATH-R70x all come to mind but these 400s looks mighty interesting.
In 1.5 months I'll probably need those. (and hope it will be available by then)

Heard them at canjam pretty damn great excited for these.

  Edit: Nvm, just read the post above haha.

Hopefully Fang finalizes the He-400s but makes sure everything is super ready in a timely manner. At their suspected price they certainly are very competitive with other headphones. Hopefully they will be out when you are looking to get new headphones

Subbed.

I replaced my he-400 with the he-500 and then th600 but the he-400 had a sound I still crave. Also had the he-400i for a while. Very interested in these.

I'm really hoping that they don't change the tunning it was great when at the show.

How are the mids, fellas?

Heard these at the T.H.E. Show and quite honestly wasn't all that impressed by them.
 
I thought that the 400i right next to them sounded significantly better across the board.
 
YMMV, but they aren't for me.

Better bass slam on the he400i, better attack? More fun?

The 400S sounded somewhat muffed and dull and lacking in bass quality and quantity when directly compared to the 400i.
 
For $300, the 400S are decent, but an extra $200 buys you a much better headphone with the 400i.
 
I guess the best way I could sum up the 400S overall SQ is that, to me, the 400S sounded more like it was using an average-quality dynamic driver instead of the high quality planar-magnetic driver that the 400i uses.

Quite good, clear not to forward or recessed damn good for $300 dollars

It has less bass than the 400i? I'm pretty disappointed, I thought the S was targeted for bassheads who preferred the old sound signature of the 400.

That was surprising, and disappointing. I thought this is targeted to V-shaped more bass audiences..

Less bass than the 400i? I disagree and if anything I would the bass qualtity and quality is better on the 400s. I skipped out on the 400i way back when as I didn't dig the bass much as the original 400.
