What happened to the color? did you edit out the lighter blue

It's still blue, just it was a quick phone cam shot haha..

Man, owning a planar never seemed so affordable... 

Even though it looks like it's efficient enough to be powered by an iPod, that 3-meter cable is kinda off-setting.

You can wire your own cable though since the connectors are fairly simple to take off

cant wait for your first impression on this marcus 

there were a lot of issues regarding QC of the first batch about the left channel being cut-off. its not one of the first batch or is it? any issue so far?

yes bro both channels fixed but its like 10 mins per cup to fix - just tightening of the screws inside near the driver. New batch is out this month I think anyway

I think I've read somewhere that you can upgrade the HE400 to the HE500 for only $150.

That's a crazy deal for the HE500!
