The Hifiman HE6se V2 (Open Box) is on sale for $399 from Hifiman's online store. The open box price is usually around the $500ish range from what I've seen, so it's a decent price but nothing crazy. Very good headphones for the money, though. I paid $700 for mine back before the price fell out...

This seems to be one of their "welcome deals" so that price applies to new users/first time purchasers only. If I sign in to my existing account the price jumps to $22.

B&H has the Sennheiser 560S for $130, today only on their Deal of the Day. Seems to beat Amazon's best price by ~$5 according to CCC. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1597107-REG/sennheiser_509144_hd_560s_linear_tailored.html

The main thing to watch out for when driving the 6se V2 off of a speaker amp (besides using lots of caution as to not blow the drivers), would be the noise floor. I've tried the speaker taps on 4 different amps and there was a distracting amount of audible hissing on my vintage amp and a cheap...

Hmm... that's a good question. If it were me, I would probably try doing it in a resting position first (not on a stand or stretched like when it's on a head) and use tape to hold the leather in place until it cures. However, if that's what you already tried the first time gluing, I could see...

That's really unfortunate that they didn't sew it as those stitches on top would suggest. :triportsad: But, I think if you get the right glue you should be able to fix it. I don't know what kind of glue you have tried already, but getting glue that works on fabric/leather can be tricky since it...

The Creative Aurvana Live! SE is $28 on Woot!That's the open box/used price I've seen on ebay, so this is a good deal for brand new. A lot of headphone for the money and a good way to get a taste of what biocellulose drivers can do. Also easy to mod, I put mmcx connectors on mine...

The stock grills have a diameter of 86mm. So that's what you should shoot for if you are looking for replacements.

The genuine leather version of these pads have been best aftermarket ones that I've found. I use them on my D2k and my X00 PH. They have a similar effect on the frequency response as the old J$ leather pads. I little extra bass (add some attenuation rings to really boost it and get +10db bass...

The Monoprice Monolith Heavy Duty XL 60" Wide AV Stand (Maple) is on sale for $87.50 (75% off). If the color scheme works with you decor, that is a great deal for an AV stand and almost a 1/3 the price of the black version's sale price. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=43166

The only Hifiman planars that I have heard that I would consider "warm" at all would be the HE-500 and to a lesser extent my Edition XX (but that's an oval, so that's out). I've also modded my HE5se to be pretty laid back but that's just because out of the box the tuning was pretty bad to my...
