近日，HIFIMAN HE400i被《纽约时报》旗下Wirecutter网站评选为The Best Audiophile Headphones for Everyday Use最佳日常发烧耳机
Offering perhaps the most spacious and detailed music reproduction you can get for less than $500, the HE400i represents an affordable way to get true audiophile-grade sound.
HE400i为真正的发烧级声音提供了最具性价比的选择，是500美金以下这个价位上你所能找到的最具空间感和音乐细节重现能力的耳机。
Who it’s for: If you’re a serious music lover who likes to sit at home for hours listening to music—especially acoustic music such as classical, jazz, or folk—a set of open-back (unsealed) over-ear headphones is a great investment. Many headphones that are priced higher than $500, as well as almost all of the models that audiophiles praise highly, are open-back designs.
适合的人群：如果你是一个喜欢在家里花上好几个小时来听音乐的发烧友－－尤其喜欢古典， 爵士或者民谣这样的原声音乐－－那么一套开放式大耳绝对是靠谱的投资。许多定价高于500美金，同时享誉烧友圈的耳机都是开放式的设计。
Why it’s great: For people who have never tried a good set of open-back headphones, hearing the HiFiMan HE400i may come as a shock. Its sound is far more detailed and spacious than that of a conventional, closed-back set of headphones, so the result sounds much more like you’re at a live performance. Even though our panelists’ tastes in sound vary, we all picked the HE400i as the best-sounding model among all the under-$500 headphones we heard.
推荐的原因：对于那些从来没有体验过好的开放式耳机的人，初听这款HE400i绝对会被震撼。它的声音远比那些传统的封闭式耳机更具细节和空间感，因此听起来更像是身处演唱会现场。即使我们的测评小组对声音的品味各不相同，我们却都一致认定HE400i是500美金以下这个区间内声音最好的耳机。
Our panelists thought that the HE400i delivered the best overall performance and the most natural sound of all the open-back models we tested. The HE400i’s bass output, relative to the treble and midrange, was about on a par with that of most open-back headphones. Fans of jazz, classical, and light pop will probably like the tonal balance because it’s free of the annoying boominess that many closed-back headphones produce, but bass lovers will likely find these headphones to be lacking.The HE400i is comfortable to wear for hours. The earpads are moderately firm yet still comfortable because the parts that contact your skin are covered in soft velour, and the earpads are large enough to distribute the clamping force of the headband evenly around your ears. At 370 grams (about the weight of a can of La Croix sparkling water), this isn’t the lightest pair of audiophile headphones we’ve encountered, but it certainly doesn’t present the neck-straining weight of some high-end audiophile designs.
我们的测评小组认为HE400i整体表现最佳，是我们测试过的所有开放式耳机中声音最自然的。相比它的高频和中频，HE400i的低频和大多数的开放式耳机一样。爵士，古典和轻流行音乐的爱好者们可能会喜欢这种调音，因为它不会像许多封闭式耳机那样营造轰头的低音，而热衷于低音的人可能就会觉得这款耳机的低音有点少了。HE400i很舒适，可以连续佩戴好几个小时。耳垫的硬度刚刚好而且很舒适，因为与皮肤接触的部分包裹着柔软的天鹅绒，而且它的耳垫很大，足以均衡的分散头梁在耳周的夹紧力。370克（差不多一听快乐水的重量）不算是我们遇到过最轻的耳机，但它绝对没有那种高端发烧耳机常见的压迫颈椎的重量。
