    For my first loaner, I'd like to send out a Massdrop x HiFiMan HE4XX for the US starting late next week. If interested, please post your general location (major city, state) when signing up. Established friends and contributors only please.

    I really enjoy this headphone and am excited to share it with the community.

    Send with signature required, insure to $150 (which is usually within the minimum insured range for most shippers). Duration for loan is five days per person. Please post in this thread when you receive the item and when you send it off.

    Special notes from your's truly: I'm shipping them with a set of my personal FocusPad-A pads since @Bill-P since says he enjoys them with them better. I'm including my personal HiFiMan ballistic nylon carrying case, too, since the packaging that these headphones came in is a PITA. Additionally, the cable is in mesh drawstring bag. Please place the cable back in the bag when shipping and storing, as it keeps the cable connectors from scuffing up the headphones (I learned this the heard way with the TH-X00).

    Tour route:
    1. @Vansen (NYC)
    2. @spwath (Hartford, CT)
    3. @Lenroot77 (Chicago, IL)
    4. @PoochZag (Indiana)
    5. @Mystic (Eastern MO)
    6. @Mshenay (Myrtle Beach, SC)
    7. @Skyline (Nashville, TN)
    8. @Hands (Colorado)
    9. @DrForBin (Seattle, WA)

    I might like to try these planar things. If these are supposed to be good (and cheap), would like to see how they sound.

    I am in Hartford, CT

    These are going out tomorrow to @spwath. I'm shipping them with a set of my personal FocusPad-A pads since @Bill-P since says he enjoys them with them better.

    Also, there's still more room to fit a few more people in here!

    @Vansen - Hey, I should apologize. Don't mean to make your job harder, but go ahead and take my name off the list.

    I didn't like the 400i or s, and the 4xx was only a minor curiosity for me from the get go. Making anyone else in the list wait an extra week is not worth it.

    Thanks

    If this ever makes its way up to Canada after the US tour, I'd be interested. I'm in Vancouver, BC.
