HE400iby HiFiMan
PROS
- This set of full-sized headphones delivers exceptional sound quality; expect first-rate detail, including a punchy bass and a smooth treble.
- As big headphones go, they are easy to wear over long periods of time.
- The HE400i is considerably lighter than its predecessor, the HE400, making portability more of a possibility.
CONS
- The 1.5-meter cord might be too short for your listening habits--or it may get caught in things.
- The open-back design allows some sound to leak out.
- The HE400i doesn't come with inline controls.

The HE-400i is hard not to like. It is an incredibly good all-around headphone with the unique bass performance we have come to love planar magnetics for.

One thing I should mention is that these are “open” headphones, like most quality phones are. This means that they allow sound to pass through the backs of the cups. The sound quality is better, but you give up isolation. So if you’re trying to drown out the sounds of screaming kids, this isn’t going to work for you.

The HE400i is for the modern pop and rock lover who wants his bass heavy but detailed and wants his experience to be a highly musical one. It is a pick-up and go experience and a very good one at that.

Aesthetically, the HE-400i is quite stunning, and while the surrounds aren’t metal, they look like polished and oiled gun-metal parts. The cable provided is of high quality but short length (under 5 feet).

Vocals are the most outstanding feature of the headphone. They are intimate, clear, and full of life. The vocals are presented, as are the mids, with a forward lean and with an emphasis on detail.

Opera pierces, every piece we tried sounded more open, and reverbs sound incredible--if you’re looking for details, the HiFiMan HE-400i orthodynamic headphones will practically paint you a picture.

Where the HE-400i clearly outshines its more expensive big brother, is when using with a portable device. I was almost taken aback at how well the HE-400i sounded. Full bodied sound, an open soundstage, and plenty of volume to hear all the details.

Build quality, like with the HE-560 is excellent. After what happened to the HE-560’s recall, I wasn’t sure what to expect of the HE-400i but the unit I received was flawless.
