We were thoroughly impressed with the flagship M500 cans and therefore keen to see what the M400s can do at a lower price point. Kef M400 review: Price and design Kef has stuck with a similar design when it comes to the M400 headphones....

And the Oasis costs just £10/$10 less. Note that the above price tags apply to the 8GB model....
