the 400i/4xx are interesting as well. scale well. people report to use them out of laptops fine others say you need a big amp for them. wonder if this new driver will perform just as well

The stealth drivers is interesting. If these can be had for $100 they could easily be a competitor for best budget headphone…ya know, if they aren’t garbage lol.

Can you take grills off and take picture of drivers? Really curious what do they mean by stealth magnets…
around 1 minute there’s link. also i saw some people doing grill mods on hifimans, you can look for those too. Thanks for picture, tho i still don’t get what did hifiman mean with stealth magnets. But as i see the dual side magnets system for this price is already good.

So how’s the bass? I think the regular 400s was supposed to lack extension, the 400i is supposed to be pretty lean too
Available on Amazon and HIFIMAN store now. Waiting for it now!

Anyone got this already? I’m still curious of how they compare to the 400i 2020
Ordered today. Arriving Sunday from Amazon. I’ll report with impressions, but I’ve never owned or heard the 400i 2020 version for comparison.
I do own Sennheiser HD 560s, so that probably will be my main point of comparison. One is a dynamic open-back (560s) and the other is a planar-magnetic open-back (HE400se), but both are in the same price range and are both supposed to be pretty neutral and detailed.
No comparisons coming with my Meze 99 Classics, which are in a class of their own.
