FYI
Amir at Audio Science Review has a fantastic review on this model, here is his conclusion; "
Headphone testing doesn't get simpler than this when the device itself is not too far off the mark as is the case with HE400SE. Add a bit of salt and pepper in the form of bass boost and lower treble energy and you are in business with a very high fidelity headphone. That it comes at such a low cost is a huge bonus, making the HE400SE one of my best picks for a bargain headphone.
I am happy to recommend the Hifiman HE400SE."

I'm trying hard to convince myself I don't need them... but skipping takeout a couple times basically pays for them.

I'm very happy with my refurb sundra.
Do it.
I do the same thing. When I see a really good deal I just buy it. Then I pull out the rice maker and eat veggies, meat, and rice untill it's at least half paid off (or paid off twice) All while my health is improving.
I don't see the money as a concern here . The real concerns I know of is I've heard people say these headphones fall apart after a while. The other concern is you need to look at the impedance of the headphones. If the impedance is high you'll need a headphone amp to go with it. So make sure the impedance is something that can be driven by a phone or whatever you're using.
Do it. Do it.

If you baby your headphones, HIFIMAN is probably great.
If you throw your stuff around or put it in a backpack, go somewhere else.
Even if you baby your headphones, HIFIMAN can still be a problem.
But you'll pay 10x the money to get a better built headphone (e.g. Dan Clark Audio) with comparable audio quality.
I love them. They sound so natural and detailed.
They are paired with a Yamaha R300 on my work desk, and I'll often pick them over the speakers I have set up in the room.
