Specially redesigned slanting ear pads are made of faux leather and velour, offering both greater comfort and enhanced sound quality.

High-quality sound: The planar magnetic headphone technology delivers superior sound quality compared to traditional competitors. The massive diaphragm design allows for high signal input and versatile bass and high-frequency response. Very fast response time thanks to the lightweight diaphragm design. Evenly distributed magnetic force reduces distortion and reproduces lifelike sound.

Using unilateral drivers, the HE400i provides a lively soundstage and spatial imaging. Increased efficiency at 93 dB enables the HE400i to work with a moderate-sized amplifier, portable audio player, smartphone, tablet, or computer.
