Do these fit smaller heads decently?

I have a large head, but minimum width is 4 inches from earcup to earcup, and the wings that rest on top of the head have a minimum span of about 8 inches from the top of one ear to the other. If your head is smaller than that you may prefer one of the AT headphones without the wings as those adjust using standard sliders. They are super comfortable, very light, and the open air design keeps them cool (my biggest complaint with most headphones is how hot my ears get). The sound is excellent, though some would describe as flat response, at least from the perspective of what the ear hears. If you like to drive the bass you'd probably want to use some sort of amp with them. Bear in mind ooen air also means you can hear if someone calls your name, the phone rings, etc (which I prefer to isolating, noise-cancelling, but depends on your situation), and depending on volume others near you may hear what your listening to (albeit very faintly). Extra details, but I hope it helps! I have numerous headsets and these are my favorite as they're easy to use for long periods of time (more than 8 hours) with no headache, ear fatigue, etc. More importantly the sound reproduction is very close, if not spot on, to being present in person for the recording.

Can these work with out an amplifier? are they still enjoyable without one connecting them directly to a smartphone or a computer? Thanks

These headphones do not need an amplifier to work with any source. They are at 470 ohms, studio quality and will need more signal, but still capable of working with any source.

is it better than a hifiman he400i ?

"Better" in terms of being more accurate, neutral, and working well across genres, yes. Else, it depends on what kind of sound you are looking for.

Are these good for pro mixing hip hop tracks? Also is the sound airy and crisp?

Yes, they are great for hip hop, and have a lot of air and transparency.
