That list is for the HE-500 right?


Nope--the HE-6.

 

The Schiit Asgard (for example) will drive the HE-500.

 

Schiit also claims that the new $99 Magni will power it too.  See:

The only amp listed that can really handle the HE-6 is the EF6. All the other ones really won't give it enough power. If someone is hesitant to get a HE-6 because they think they'll need to spend over a grand, head over the HE-6 thread. You can get an amp for under $200 that easily power the HE-6 and make it sound fantastic.

But they say that the EF-6 is the better choice.  I'd figure the Lyr has the juice for it as well... but I'd question a Burson HA-160 handling it.

 

Huh, I find that interesting, since Skylab nearly scoffed at me about 3 months ago for saying the Soloist had enough power for the HE-6. Wonder if he got a demo unit...

Shure SRH 750DJs for $30 + shipping. (Would have grabbed this if it wasn't for no Canadian shipping, damn.)

Thanks man, awesome deal. I'm grabbing one. I've always wanted to try these but didn't want to pay retail for it. I wonder if it's a price mistake?

I don't think it's a price mistake, they've sold ~10 units since I posted that link though, so I'd think it would be hard for them to back out anyways. I'd go for it if it weren't for my unfortunate geographic placement, hehe.

Before I even knew what happened, it was in my Amazon cart and I pushed the buy now button!  It was like I was possessed!

 

 

Awesome find!  Never heard of these or read anything about them, but for $30...  Can't go wrong!

Been said to be very solid headphones for their retail price of $100-$150, with a sturddy but creaky design. (Probably high-density plastic, just with creaky joints)

I'm on the fence.  Awesome price, obviously, but the complaints about comfort -- serious DIScomfort, actually -- have me wondering if it's $30 bucks that I'll see minimal use out of.

 

Here's the thread that has me worried:  http://www.head-fi.org/t/544450/shure-srh750dj-review

That's good to know. $30 is a damn good price. gs1000.gif

Yeah, just got done reading a bunch of reviews on them.  Seems that seems to be the general consensus about them.  I will most likely just gift them to my nephew who likes bassy music.

 

Looks like they are all sold out now.  Though I have a feeling they meant to sell them at $129.99, not $29.99.
