Even if I'm alteady happy with my current headphones, I always like to try some new stuff, even more if it's cheap and even more if it can be modded (the funniest part imo). Plus it will be my first planar pair (never tried planars, only dynamics and an e-stat).
What do you think about this headphones at this price? Have you ever had experiences with both V1 and V2 versions?
Peace✌🏻
Just got mine in from the 11.11 sale. A week later than my bud despite in the same city, cursed bundling different orders I spose.
I have the he-x4, which is what these are supposedly, and it seems to be the case. Primary difference beside the headband is the pads. The he-x4 used a microfelt/velour hybrid whereas the 400se v1 uses a mesh hybrid, and that's where the primary audio differences come from. I measured both on my crude measurement rig.

Thanks for the info😊 what measurement rig are you using?
It's a 3d printed mount and 3d printed ear with a calibrated linear mic attached with approximately the same ear volume. It does the job for me, and I'm not keen on spending hundreds to thousands more for a iec711 clone or whatever b&k everybody using these days. I may change out the ear one day for a silicon cast of my own ear, since that can be done pretty cheap.
