Is the probability of getting these numbers of heads the same?

Problem

A fair coin ($P(H) = P(T) = 0.5$) is independently tossed $400$ times.

Is it correct to say that the probability of getting from $0$ to $160$ heads is the same as the probability of getting from $240$ to $400$ heads?

On the one hand, the answer seems 'no' because the number of heads are different.

On the other hand, if we take the first numbers of heads, from $0$ to $160$, it means that at the same time I want from $240$ to $400$ tails and because the coin is fair, it is the same probability as in the second case with $240$ to $400$ heads.

So is my initial statement correct?

I appreciate any help.
