: Although your smartphone and laptop will be able to drive it, an amplifier would certainly bring out the true potential of the HiFiMAN - HE400i 2020 Version. Read more about amplification and why it's important here.
: Yes, the cables are indeed detachable. Making for easy storage and convenient for whenever you want to replace or upgrade cables.
: The HE400i 2020 Version comes with extra soft earpads and it’s over-ear design makes them comfortable to wear for long hours.
: No, the HiFiMAN - HE400i 2020 Version does not come with a microphone.
: The HiFiMAN - HE400i 2020 Version comes with an impedance of 35Ω.
: Impedance is the so-called alternating-current resistance that headphones have under specific standard conditions. On devices with low output impedance, headphones are the louder, the lower their impedance is. In principle, we recommend that you choose headphones with low impedance for use on devices that are operated by battery/rechargeable battery (i.e. most portable devices such as smartphones, tablet computers but also notebooks). You can distinguish between high and low impedance. Usually, the gradations 18 Ω, 32 Ω, and 80 Ω are used in the low range. In the high range, 250 Ω are common. If you want to get the most out of your system (and it has the power to do so), choose a model with 600 Ω.

Excellent value

I have been using the he400i the original version since last 2.5 years.both the headphone are same except for obvious change in headband design which is good since the last design was extremely brittle and I had to change it with sundara headband as the last one broke.I have paired this headphone with ifi nano iDSD black label and it compliments this headphone nicely.It has an overall neutral sound with good soundstage and instrument separation is spot on.
The bass is a proper planar bass and linear,mids are sweet sounding and highs are relatively crisp instrument like Cymbals and guitar sound natural.The headphone is brilliant if you listen to jazz music and is brilliant for movies too.Minor downside of this can is that it can sound a bit harsh on some poorly recorded song and in some already bright song.overall an excellent value headset with a planar sound.

Good entry into audiophile grade

I use these headphones for casual music listening on my computer. The headphones are comfortable to wear, but do warm up the ears when wearing for more than 30 minutes. The headphone cable is braided and durable, however seems to constantly get in my way as it is so stiff and thick. The sound quality is pretty good, but I have not been blown away when compared to a much cheaper monoprice headphone pair. They possibly need a good break-in period and I have not listened to them long enough to notice improvements related to break-in. Another plus seems to be that the headphones work fine with mobile phones. I have not used these with a dedicated DAC yet, but rather use the amplified headphone jack that I get with my 2.1 logitech computer speaker set.

Thanks a ton for sharing your review with us.

For this price it's a no brainer!!!

Its my 2nd headphones from HIFIMan (first was he400) and the are meet and exceeded my expectation! All my conclusion is after a 150 hours burn-in as suggested by HIFIMAN manual that came with HE400i The sound is more refined and smoothed then he400. Every instrument can be well followed and hear every nuances of the musicians, hence have a wide soundstage. The highs that are ear peircing on he400, here on 400i they are more smooth which are good for because I hate when the treble have picks. It still has some picks but are noticeably smaller then he400.

We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us this note. We look forward to serving you again.
