Anyone pushed this thing to near-max, can we get confirmation of that one review that said spec-wise-weaker units like the Hidizs S9 Pro Plus actually power the 400SE cleanly to ear-bleeding levels while the M4 distorts at the same level? (I notice MuseHiFi were not ready to admit at what THD+N they achieved 320 mW, so there’s every chance it was at 10%.)

Also, has anyone tried to use it on a phone without the second USB supplying power and with empty M4 battery? I wanna say… still works but no more high-gain?

[Naturallymorbid]

Just tested the HE400SE, at max volume, high gain, using a 4.4 cable (Via BT LDAC) - played 2-3 songs and did not hear any distortion (you can hear the noise floor but it a fairly subtle noise so its a none-issue IMO) it was uncomfortably loud but not ear-bleeding levels.

If i get a chance i’ll look into the battery thing but as far as i understand its not suppose to work since it always draws on the battery

@Naturallymorbid

it was uncomfortably loud but not ear-bleeding levels

I guess that’s technically true since it should reach 116 dB at 320 mW, and the threshold of pain is usually quoted as 120 dB, so “ear-bleeding” should be even higher than that. I just took that other guy’s word for it without checking the math, so thanks for that.

Also asked HiFiGo about the power thing, but 24h later still nothing, and there’s no official (Western) MuseHiFi website or Ali store or social media account that I can see.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much battery seems to last quite a bit even without any additional I power, with additional power i would assume it would last 12 hours maybe even more (though im totally guessing)

[abm0]

No no, I mean dead-dead, like can’t be recharged anymore. I’m thinking long-term here, like “will this thing become useless when its battery gives up the ghost”. Valar Morghulis - batteries too.

[Naturallymorbid]

Gotcha, I would assume that would take a number of years to die out completely might make for a fun DIY project

They answered me after a while BTW, and they’re also posting it word for word in their marketing materials lol.
