Hi Guys.

After a little advice. I love audio but consider myself a bit of a beginner enthusiast tbh -  Im looking for a good pair of open backs but not really willing to spend ridiculous money on them.

It looks like hifiman are selling off 400I's for silly price on amazon - https://www.amazon.com/HIFIMAN-HE-400I-Full-size-Magnetic-Headphones/dp/B00MULH672/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1522137079&sr=8-2&keywords=he400i

Thats probably the top end of what I would be willing to pay - with amazon shipping its about R3700 delivered which is a huge drop on the release price I guess and reviews seem positive.

My concern is the build quility. I have heard horrors of the plastic headband braking etc. - I would be using them just for desk listening at home so its not like I plan and moving them around allot.

So you think this is a good buy.. or anyone have any decent alternatives?

Cheers.
