[xenaxance]

planning to buy HiFiMAN HE-400
wanted to try some Planar Magnetics
read they are awesome when it comes to trance
also the price reduced due to new version HE-400i
so should i go for it
what are the other options i should consider
right now.. i've a fiio e07k to drive these.. i know they are not enough
i will be buying some Schiit in one or 2 month
also i'm waiting for the modi sarkar to do something to the dollar rate.. but i cant wait that long
i will be ordering it within few days

If you do go with HE-400 , order from http://www.headamp.com/order/index.htm , you'd get velour pads

HE400 does have bass in good amount. But apart from bass everything else is really below average. I too listen to trance and with similar thoughts had bought the HE400. The bass was good but treble was too piercing and the mids sucked big time.

buying turbulent x drivers... aka magnum v5
