  I already have a fidelio x1, and I ordered the mass drop K7XX....but I had been looking at the HE-400 for a while now...How does it compare to the fidelio x1 and (what is assumed to be) the AKG anniversaries? (Please talk me out of this haha, I am hesitant to own 3 200 dollar headphones lol).

yeaa, the he-400 would be kinda redundant to the x1. I personally prefer the he-400, but the x1 has a pretty similar sound signature.
 
if you don't bother with both the 7xx or the he-400, you can spend that $400ish on the new HE-400i which is a solid upgrade over the majority of $200-$300ish open pair of heapdhones razordogaudio has the he-400i available open box at discounted prices.

  What's everyone use for flying? Headphones or IEMs?
 

I usually plug my ears with HF5, though any triple-flange should work fine. It might make your ears sore for long-haul flights, though.

I used the HP100 on the last few flights and it worked great.  It doesn't isolate like crazy good, but it was enough.  Comfy too.

tempted by the HE-400, but i also have he X1 already (and D2000)...i think i'm probably better off saving the money and going straight to HE-560/LCD2 or TH-900.

The HE-400 for 200$ at moon audio is OOS unfortunately
 
Any other places it's in stock, anyone?

Cancelled my order for the Fidue A83. I am sure I will regret it later but I wanted to keep some money aside to get one of my TF10s reshelled in CIEMs

 

[Dinerenblanc]

$250 is a good deal for the A83, but not a good Black Friday deal. You're better off getting something else if you want to save big, so no big loss.

Thanks for all the responses RE headphones for flying.

These would be for 8hr+ flights. Would something like Momentums be OK?

Will go through current sales, hopefully find something suitable with a healthy discount.

CAN we buy using a foreign card and ship to US address? What would be the shipping time? Any customs /taxes to be paid extra?

 

[musicinmymind]

Both are either hit or miss, I have PFE for last two years and today got IE-800.
 
PFE-232, high ends needs to be tamed by using comply foam tips, if you try to tame highs using narrow boar or long tips then sound stage will suffer.
IE-800, seal issues, if stock tips does not work for you, then you have no choice but to return them.(or you have mod stock tips and use it with comply)
 
Sound stage - massive on both of them, difficult to chose between them.
Bass - IE-800 wins, never heard an IEM that rumbles or hits bass as hard as these, PFE-232 is not bad either, it probably has best bass for an armature dives. Both are good but IE-800 win 
High - I like PFE-232 better, is much more airy. 
Imaging - PFE-232 wins, layering on these are awesome, paired with massive soundstage they sound like full sized headphone. (vocals normally sound very close to ears with IEM, but not with PFE-232)
 
as I said earlier, but they are either an hit or miss, you need to get both and return one.

shipping might be a bit long, seeing as its cross border. but not sure about shipping it to usa, might be possible. it should tell u whether it will ship to usa or not if you;re logged in I believe. Then click on estimated total to get the breakdown. hope that helps
