HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone - Page 9

looks like i've missed some fireworks here... ;)

looking forward to the he-6. and if the price isn't justifiable i can just ship it right

back minus shipping. that's about as good as it gets, imo.

I'm somewhat excited at the prospect of a HiFiMan dynamic. I also note they are 32 ohms. Maybe they use Grado drivers? That would be cool. Of course, I'm just speculating, based on the impedence and driver size.

Hehe, yeah forgive me, just when I saw it in this thread I assumed it was planar and suddenly my interest was piqued (I wont hide the fact Im not a dynamic fan any more after discovering planars). But yerp thats just me! :) .

Hey Fang, can you compare the HE-3 to the HD6XX family?

Is it going to be better, equal to, or not as good as the Senns? 

It would be nice to have a HiFiMAN product that gives the Sennheisers and the AKG 701's some competition

in that price range.
 

Looking forward to trying this out.

Fang is hoping for 30 days only though.

Sounds cool.  What does '30 days only though' mean?
 

probably that the offer will only last for 30 days. 

I love orthos but I'm rather excited about a new dynamic in that price range.  And based on the way the REO sounds, it could be a big hit because there aren't many neutral phones in that price range.  or any for that matter.

Very interested in the HE-3, looking at how the RE0 sounds. No money to spare for the HE-5LE or the HE-6 for that matter..
