Come on. How can those be better than 400Se?

Agree with HE400SE. I have SHR840, no A, and they are very good but... too much midbass for some genres

You're wrong. I have HD600's on a Fiio K7 with the balanced cable. No comparison to the Bathys (and the HD600 are >> than the 560S). Sure the Bathys aren't great on bluetooth but if you do a wired connection with USB they smoke everything else I have including HD600. You might not have heard the Bathys with the latest firmware. The original firmware sound was anaemic and kind of lame but now they're terrific.

IMO 400SE has better vocals most of the time.

I have the Focal Elegias and really like them (especially for the current price) I know some folks complain about the headband but mine has not given me any issues.

It's just to have room for higher SPL and don't have to put too much pre amplification before EQ to avoid the need of amplifier.

Have you considered the Audio Technica ATH-AD700x? (or the AD500 or 900 or whatever they call the models above and below it)

I have a focal elex and honestly am not to impressed by it. Heard from others it is a super 6xx with better dynamics and while it has slightly better dynamics I still prefer the 6xx and greatly prefer my edition xs

I personally would take the KPH30i over either of these cans, and they're 30 bucks. But that's just me.
At around this price the Hifiman R7DX really puts them to shame IMO.

On a whim I discovered a used HE-4XX in the classified ads.
This was a huge discovery. The seller wanted no more then 90€ for a headphone that doesn't get sold in my country.
It sounds totally natural and highly resolving. My best in ears can outperform on the detail retrieval but not on the natural sound.

> I spit on Hifiman's build quality, but to be honest, in this case it probably wasn't their fault.
It is 100% their fault. It's due to how the plug housing is soldered that causes it to break easily.
Most of their headphones have the same flaw. That's why we keep seeing the same threads about the same issues with the same fucking headphones.
Dropping them only likely exacerbated the problem.

Update: I can get it back but it doesn't stay in reliably (it feels like it can break again easily as nothing is holding it but Holy Spirit) and the headband adjustment feels pretty loose comparing to another end of headband.
