Is this a 400se? I just got one and like it but if these sound a little warmer I might return them and get these. I'd save about 50 bucks if you include the cable I had to buy for those plus the $10 credit I still have with drop.

Hey OP i have some news for you. If you bought the he400se off amazon it now ships with a replacement cable, used in the X4 and 4XX. You could contact amazon about this and ask for a free replacement cable and possibly get a free replacement cable. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z2SK5C4/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A1GH37DDIGH3L6&psc=1 . Check it out for yourself and use amazon smile because you can like donate to charities and stuff for free.

The Headphone Show did a video on this but there seems to be a lot of differing opinions. Here's what I gathered : The He400SE and the X4 are essentially identical in sound characteristics and such, but this is for the international version of the he400se. Another reviewer by the name of BadSeedTech compared these two and he said that the HE400SE was narrower and more boring, it could be due to quality control or maybe an old batch or some other factor, but this is what I've gathered. I'm personally conflicted between the two as well since they are said to be similar sounding, but the costs are wildly different at 170 for the HE400SE plus a usable cable, but only 130 for the X4 with its already good cable. Now comfort is the only tipping factor for me

They are not the same as any existing set (for real this time). EDIT: To clarify they are the HE-400SE drivers without "stealth magnets". Technically different sound but very similar.
