This my little collection 2 planars and 2 dynamic. The hifiman 400se I received them yesterday. First openback planars. Detail is good soundstage is also brilliant imaging can get blurred on some busy tracks. But my biggest disappointment is lack of power these are not power hungry and they can't take much power either. The rest of my lineup are better with power
Update finally found the sweet spot with the eq. They were a little more tricky than am used to but I got there. Thx to reddit I am so happy with these. I can hand on my heart say I've never drums like I heard on these wow just wow the detail and clarity is ridiculous for this price . And the bass Is sweet you can hear notes in the bass, that was unexpected. And they are so damn light. The cable is heavy but am not complaining since i know which cable I could've ended up with šš. All in all great start to the year

They get alot better aoundwise with Power. They need alot more Power than my 560s. I use EM in an amp. And high gain.

Yeah the get better staging with power. I did realize I have never heard drums so clean before that was amazing

They seem Low Power requirement wise but still planar. I Like Them but Not using EM aĆ mich cause 560s IS Just top good for me .

Try EM beforehand they are very neutral but for me the best under 300. Like Them more than hd660 and 600

What are you powering them up with ?
I'm not sure if they're the same sensivity but HE-4XX are the most power hungry headphones of my collection (see flair).

My hipdac 2 maybe my settings are off but they are still new to me and I still have a lot to learn about eq

What do you mean by lack of power?? The he400se doesn't need much power and sounds great with even a modest amp.
>lack of power these are not power hungry and they can't take much power either.
This sentence is literally incomprehensible. They don't need much power yet can't take much power? What are you talking about?

Sorry for upsetting you. But I thought they would be harder to drive but they are not
