When we looked into it in 2012, we gave high checks to HiFiMan’s HE-400 earphone . Presently reduced to $300, that full-measure model stays available as the organization, known for making unrivaled sounding earphones that beat sleeker-looking earphones from name brands like Beyerdynamic, Bowers and Wilkins and Sennheiser, has discharged its recently overhauled HE-400i ($500, £360, AU$699).
Like the HE-400, the HE-400i uses slender film “planar attractive” level drivers that produce clearer and more progressively alive sound than your run of the mill earphone drivers which work like small scale cone or arch speaker drivers.
Looking at the two models, the primary thing you’ll notification is that the new HE-400i is lighter, tipping the scales at 370 grams (13.05 ounces) rather than 440 grams (15.5 ounces). HiFiMan has additionally upgraded the headband with an “enhanced weight design” and swapped in new arrangement of sloped “half and half” ear cushions made of bonded leather and velour. Those ear cushions enhance sound quality as well as solace also.
