So if you think about it, they’re generating just as strong waves away from your ears as towards them. Oh, another thing to mention about PMs is they’re just vibrating a flat sheet of filament-lined plastic back and forth. This gives them a bit of a reputation for flatness when really, “just not V shaped” might be more accurate. The lows are all there, and very detailed, but you don’t feel it the same way. But PMs don’t have the same thump as dynamics in the low end. Sound-wise i wouldn’t call them flat, per se. Though, again aside from the creakiness and kind of cheap plastic feel, they’re nice and comfortable. Is it worth treating them with extra-careful kids gloves, walking on eggshells around them (and wearing really goofy looking headphones made even more goofy by the gaffer tape holding them together)? Only you can say. And I’ve heard the 4xx are worse, the headbands snapping or flat-out coming unglued.īut man, do they sound amazing. My 400S’s are getting creaky and a touch brittle. That’s both amazing and terrifying as hifiman has never been known for their build quality to begin with. The trick of the 400 series is hifiman’s cut every possible corner in manufacturing and build quality to make planar magnetic affordable. It makes them my go-to for electronica or super digital pop.īut it’s quite easy for them to range up into the multiple thousands of dollars. They’re just so quick and render detail so well. There’s something magic about planar magnetic headphones.
