Designed for extended listening sessions, the HE400se is 30% lighter than comparable magnetic headphones, weighing a mere 390g. Its newly-designed adjustable and lightweight headband remains cool and comfortable for hours, even in excessively warm weather. In addition, the headphone’s drivers are protected by a newly designed casing for enhanced durability and protection from the elements. HE400se’s beveled hybrid earpads also contribute to the headphone’s exceptional performance. With this design, varying thicknesses conform to the human skull, almost as if it is custom-tailored to each listener’s head.
