New to Headphones
I've never owned headphones. I am looking at the Hifiman HE400i, in part because of the reduced price.
I have two systems. A smaller system with a Pioneer Elite VSX-80TXV receiver/amplifier. The larger system has an Anthem AVM 60 processor, Oppo 205 player, and Anthem MCA amps. What do I do to make the headphones work (I told you I was new to headphones)? Do I need anything in addition to the headphones? Also, I need an appropriate headphone extension cord that is 12 to 15 feet long. One last point, I wear hearing aids because my hearing has deteriorated in the higher frequencies because of age and radiation treatments I endured many years ago. Therefore the best and highest quality headphones are largely not beneficial. Good quality at an affordable price is about all I can utilize. Thanks for helping. |
Welcome to AAf. :thumbsup:
The HE400i looks to be a good, cost-effective choice to get you started. Only you can decide how they sound. Your Pioneer receiver has a headphone jack on the front and the HE400i should plug directly into same and you'll be fine. Same is true with your Oppo 205. Ivan can help you out with a good, inexpensive WW Nano or other headphone extension cable. |
I have a HE400i and it’s a great headphone for the price. I paid 300$Can.
I use it with my iPad and it sound very fine. I think you will like it. |
Thanks for the great info; clear and fast. You guys on AudioAficionado are wonderful. You've helped me in the past also.
How do I contact Ivan at Wireworld? I've looked and looked. Thanks again. |

Welcome to AA. I travel extensively for my employment and have been using headphones for many years. I have probably 60+ pair and at least 30 amps. I would be happy to talk to you anytime. The addition of an amp would make a huge difference. |

I apologise for my ignorance. What is a "Subscriber"?

Ivan,
Can you make a 15' Wireworld Nano Eclipse (or equivalant) headphone cable for my Hifiman HE400i? I couldn't find your direct contact information so l am contacting you here. I hope I didn't break any rules. |
