Headphones Headphone Discussion / Help
1

Hi guys been using hd598 for long time
Wanting something new
Eye balled He4xx or Zues both in my budget and no worries about powering them, have ifi zen can.
I have seen both headphones reviews really like both of them, a huge interest on he4xx I must say because it’s hard to get drop product from where I am + both headphones looks different from any other headphones still not a valid reason to buy it.
Z reviews gives A sold for both but only difference is he4xx is little old and really wondering how it holds up to current headphones in the market
What I am looking for wide warm sound with above average imaging
Word is fun
I hope I am being brief by not being technical

Plz help

While i haven’t tried the He 4XX, I have tried the 400 SE (which are supposedly better), i’d still take the Zeus.
I’d say the Zeus pretty much hits the just the right spot on what you said you are looking for, its warm and wide, also pretty damn comfy (the ears can get a little warm) - keep in mind the price difference between the 4XX and 400SE is a factor when compared to the Zeus (double the price)

Voting Zeus. These products should have a fairly broad gap in price.
The Zues has the sound signature elements you’re looking for also.
