OK, so I just came home from a short vacation to a pleasant surprise - a Massdrop box with the HE4XX's. Popped them on, and my initial reaction? Very pleasantly surprised! Already liking them better than my HE 350's with 500+ hours burn in and modded ear pads. I can say the same for the DT 770's, although those are also new and need another 200 hours of burn in I believe. Out of the box though, these sound quite impressive, especially for that price point! Can't wait to burn these in and run them through my LYR hp amp.
MANY thanks to those of you who convinced me to give these a go. As hesitant as I initially was, I’m quite happy with these. Pretty sure these are going to be keepers, and the 350's and probably 770's will go. ... can wait to get the Senn HD 6XX in to do a side by side.
Will post pics and more detailed thoughts on them later.

HawaiiRwhat are your thoughts compared to the 6xx? I have to say that while the sound on the 6xx is quite detailed, it sounds distant, and I'm realizing that I don't appreciate mid forward headphone as much as I thought I would. I probably will not buy these Hifiman's but, I', curious to hear someones A-B comparison :).

HelpbotStill waiting for the 6xx to ship, and I believe that won't happen until late march. I just finished doing the burn in on the HE 4XX, so hoping to have some time to give them a good listen this weekend sometime.
