Hey all,

 

So Ive had a itch to try out some planar magnetic headphones, what caught my eye so far are either the hyper x cloud orbit S and the Hifiman 400i, amazon has the 400i for 180 dollars, and i can snag the orbit S for 170 through a deal. Rather not spend more then 200.

 

From what ive read the orbit S are modeled after the audeze modius. Ive done some research on both... curious on what one i should lean for.

 

Any opinions? Or other recommendations?

Would mainly be used for music, but also some gaming. Dont care if it has a mic or not.

out of the 2 definiteply the hifiman. but the he 4xx is on sale right now for $130 and is a great planar comparable to the he 400i you can get and extra $20 off for a new account.  https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-hifiman-he4xx-planar-magnetic-headphones?utm_source=linkshare&referer=K4AEGW

no prob got the same pair lastweek when I saw the sale I knew I had to jump on them because I was also feeling that same planar itch and I'm really enjoying them so far.  been playing a lot of modern warfare wih them too. has really nice layerng with the imaging . had to bun it in a bit though because it initially didnt sound that great. sounds awesome now
