HE400S vs HE560

(1/4) > >>

GESTALT:
Anyone have been able to compare the new HE400S with the year old HE560?

Which one has better detail, resolution...? I like clear bass, sure, but if I had prefer more detailed upper mids and treble more if I had to choose between the two. Smoothness matters next.

Oh, compared to stock HE400S (if you got them or listened to them at the shows) how much better is the HE560 modded no grill? In the above sense of microdetail (EDIT: Better question.)

First post, btw, Hi there!  :)p2


 

Marvey:
HE560 is easily better in plankton and clarity. I didn't try enough tracks to see of HE400S has the upper mid and treble bumps HE560 has. My impression is HE400S might be a bit smoother in FR.

GESTALT:
So a grill modded 560 is best for detail. Ok. Yes, about the large bump or V on the FR at the high end. How does that affect the sound? Seems a pretty steep fall and then a rise. Can it be easily equalized out?

BTW, anyone tried a closed or semi closed mod? Maybe cups that come on or can be taken off without ruining the sound too much?

I've neglected the DIY scene with hifimans for the past year or so for the most part, so I don't know if anyone tried something like this. (And I have a pair of good wooden cups that would fit I think.)

audiofrk:
Hmm I always ignored the 560 as I didn't like  it with the amps I heard it with but I really liked the 400s maybe I should try the 560 again

No_One411:
I'll try to see if I can get a pair to Marv to measure.
