I thought they sounded very good - but there were two different "versions" at Can Jam - the final version will be somewhere in between these two versions.  So what I heard isn't likely to be the final version.

 

The housing is covered in a very nice black leather; otherwise they look the HE-5LE.  As such, they are very comfy.

Is it heavier than the HE5LE?

 

how much sound refinement over the 5LE? (like, major leap? baby step?)

Unfortunately, impossible to say really, since I was listening with an unfamiliar system and without the ability to compare.  But yes, better.

Had a Mini Meet this past weekend with Iron_Dreamer, Jasper994, LFF, Zippy2001, and I.   They wanted to check out the HE-6 as well as catching up with old friends.

The hazards of wearing universal IEM's.  Zippy2001 got silicone ear tips stuck deep inside his ears, LFF delicately removed them successfully.

Dinner at Five Guys afterwards.  I shouldn't have ordered the regular double burger...

I was worried when leather was first mentioned since I prefer cloth on pads, but then I saw the detailed picture above showing the leather on the housing and was pleasantly surprised. Very tasteful and a bit luxurious. A nice alternative to the plastic Sennheisers and the metal Beyers/Grados of recent debuts.
