HE6se V2

Bought HD800S, Hifiman HE1000 Stealth and HE6se V2. HD800S is the only one I kept because it sounded the best.

I ran Hifiman headphones for years before realising that Meze and ZMF are much more to my taste. I still enjoy my modded and EQ'd HE6se V2 for music and EQ'd Arya Stealth for multiplayer gaming. They are both special headphones to me and don't think I can part ways with them. The HE1000 Stealth is a

Short Answer: Yes, you expected too much. Longer Answer: It's a business, and they already cut the profit margins on those cans by refurbishing them. Simply buying another pair of headphones is not really doing anything as a courtesy to them. It's just another transaction. It probably happens a lot

I just got the Mini Shangri-La combo a couple of days ago. The headband design is indeed questionable for the price range, but the headphones feel so incredibly light that it doesn't affect me the way it did on heavier headphones like the HE6se v2. Also, the Capra strap I used when I had the Edition

Yes. I do also have the HE6se v2 that I picked up for $300 that I like to use for metal, punk & hip hop. Bass is pretty sick on that headphone, although not sure about QC issues. I’ve read that the HE6se v2 had tons of issues with stuck drivers and was one of the headphones contributing to Hifiman’s

Honestly, the crunch on the Verite is addictive! I also have the HE6se V2 which is plenty neutral, and punchy, to the point I'd say they're like a blank canvas where you can paint your own picture via EQ. After doing the grill mod and EQ, I have got them to sound very wide reminiscent of egg-shaped

You can see in the CSD plots where making contact with the grills while doing measurement sweeps makes a few resonances stop completely. Same thing has applied to a ton of Hifimans and some people have documented the window shade grills losing their resonance after gluing a metal bar down the center

Hifiman Sundara and Ananda are usable with rock and metal. The community recommended HE6seV2, it does sound amazing with good recorded music (Pink Floyd, Leprous, dire straights) but with general metal stuff - I was getting headaches and tinnitus for days. I sold the HE6SE, but if you haven't heard

Always wanted to try this. My HE6se V2 sounds great, amped reasonably by thr iHA-8. Really have always liked the more uniform presentation by circle cup Hifimans compared to the egg-shaped ones, though both have their respective strengths. Have you tried the HE6se V2 and how different is it to this?
