That's why I just read these forums. ps. please don't ban me.

HE-500 will probably be my next upgrade, but i don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. I'm really liking these headphones so far.

Yes, i'm already using it. I also took the grill fabric off. It looks like it opens the soundstage a little bit. Any particular reason why you didn't like the HE-400's? Hey Léo, how are you doing? Great to see you here. I'm already using the velours. I'm not an expert but it definitely improves the treble region. Thanks for the advice anyway. Probably a little too late. If he offered the HE-400's for free aswell i might reconsider getting another one

I think i'll spare a balanced Class A amp for a future upgrade. Maybe a Stax SR-009 or Senn Orpheus. Anyway, everyone say these aren't hard to drive. I think they sound pretty good out from my humble E17+E09 stack.

Just posting to let you know i bought these headphones. I don't have much experience with hi-fi headphones (this is probably my first pair) but i think they're pretty good. Great lows and very sparkle treble, lots of detail.

Ok. I apologise for the inconvenience. You can delete this thread.

Well, i see a lot of similar headphone threads arround here. Can't this be considered like one of them, since there isn't any dedicated to the HE-400? After all, it's not like i don't know what to buy. I just wanted your thoughts/impressions about this particular headphone, may it be good or bad.

I've already read. The problem is that i didn't find any HE-400 review from Tyll. I tried asking on head-fi too, but that place is very confusing. Besides the polluted/unfriendly layout, there's too much (mis)information and few knowledge.

Hello. I'm new here on the forums, as well as to this audiophile hobby, and want to buy my very first pair of hi-fi headphones. I live in Brazil, and the options here are very scarce. I recently had the opportunity to get the HE-400 new(latest revision, with velour pads) for a fair price, and wanted to know your opinion on them. Has anyone here ever heard them? Do they offer a good sound/price ratio? Can you tell me more about its sound signature and qualities? Thanks, and sorry if i've made any grammar mistake. English's not my native language and it's been a while since i used it, so it's a little rusty. José Carlos.
