I tried both the HE 400's and M100's in shop and listened to my EDM playlist mostly consisting of DnB / Liquid and I much prefer the M100's
Why?
Well the HE 400's were detailed, airy, large soundstage but this made them much less engaging and distant sounding (I tried them on various amps including a tube amp)
The M100's had a textured, clear, and extended bass (A real signature sound I have never heard before), engaging, and it was difficult to find anything I did not like about the signature.
With EDM I believe instrument separation, soundstage and resolution is less important, I think that is why I choose the M100's. I don't listen to any recordings, all synths so that's why clarity, bass extension and transient response are important to me. After listening to these two headphones I can see how someone's taste in music will influence their choice.
