HIFIMAN HE 400i Review
What if you are looking for professional headphones that will serve you for many years and during that time provide the superb sound quality? In those cases, you are going to need the HIFIMAN HE 400i. This may be a pricey model, but it is the latest addition to the market in the class, and it has a lot of features to offer.
The main thing to mention is that on the HIFIMAN HE 400i test we determined that these are mid-range, full-size headphones, designed and made for people who know what they want. Even if you are a beginner when it comes to the headphones, but you want a safe choice, the HIFIMAN HE 400i is a perfect model for you.
Planar Magnetic Headphone Created by the innovator of the planar magnetic technology, the HiFiMan HE400i is a high quality, full-size planer magnetic head-phone created for critical listening at home or in studio. The new generation headphone becomes more lightweight with largely improved sensitivity.
Another thing that can be mentioned is the weight. The previous model weighs 440 grams, and the new one, the HIFIMAN HE 400i 370 grams. Maybe this sounds small, but with headphones, each gram is important. This improvement allows you to wear them longer and make them more comfortable.
Hybrid earpads are an amazing addition as well. They are made from velour and pleather, which makes them extremely comfortable. We actually liked this feature more than any other simply because it has a huge effect on the comfort and makes wearing them pleasant.
In order to use the HIFIMAN HE 400i you are going to need a headphone amplifier or a home receiver. After all, these are not ordinary headphones. Luckily, the HIFIMAN HE 400i price doesn’t look high if you know that they can be used with portable devices. Although, in these situations, you may need more volume.

Bass quality is at the highest level. It sounds professional and advanced, without any losses or issues that may affect the sound quality.
Clarity of the sound is on the same level as the bass. Together, these factors make the HIFIMAN HE 400i suitable for ‘’audiophiles’’. No matter are you looking for headphones that will serve you just for listening to the music or for movies and games, the HIFIMAN HE 400i are perfect.
We will also mention that the sound is dynamic. It feels real and alive, therefore it is more advanced that you may believe. The main reason for that are the mentioned drivers. They are identical as small dome speakers, which is also one of the advantages these headphones have to offer.
You may wonder why the earpads look different. It is because they were shaped and developed to improve the sound quality. Thanks to them, higher frequencies are clear and lower are more accurate.
What we liked:
- Sound quality is immense.
- Lightweight
- Dynamic sound.
- Earpads
- Gold-plated connectors.
- Value for money.
- Comfortable
- Bass and the tremble.
- Affordable
Possible drawbacks.
- A cable may be shorter than most people prefer.
