Hey everyone just ordered the He-6 from Crutchfield. Does anyone have any amp recommendations for the He-6? Budget 700$ but i can extend to $800 If need to be. i seen a thread a while back for amping the He-6 but i can't seem to find it...

I went to Axpona and heard the Hifiman he-6 connected to the matching amp. I was very impressed. I know they are difficult to drive and then saw the he adapter which allows you to use a standard amp to drive them. I have a Mcintosh mc 252. Has anyone here used the he-6 with the adapter or...

I am a starting audiophile, and the only good headphones that i have that have a certain prestige is the: Audio Techniqua: Ath-M30 (Getting it friday) Ath-ANC23     some day i might get the Ath-m50 I think the ANC23 is very good, but it seems to be lacking in my taste of opinion...

What headphones would you recommend for dance, trance, hardcore, synthpop....etc. If money wasn't an issue at all?   I often hear the term that the headphone is "too slow" for dance music. So what high end "fast headphones" would you recommend?

I made this comment in a different thread, but thought it might warrant its own discussion. So here it is....has any of you tried using good speaker cables for your headphone?    I have both HE-6 and HE-500. Given that I drive them with speaker amps, I wondered... What if I drive them with a...

Alright, so I am looking to invest in a non very expensive setup to drive the HiFiMan HE-6 (or the HE-500, whichever comes first for me). I know the Lyr can drive the HE-6, but how well? What about the HiFiMan EF5?   Also, does anyone else have amp suggestions for the HE-6 under $1000? Thanks!

Just wondering if this amp has enough beef for the HE-6?

There is another thread going on about powering the notoriously hard-to-drive HE-6 - but that thread seems to focus mainly on driving it from speaker amps.   Lets use this thread to see your experience with what few dedicated headphone amps are not fazed by the HE-6...   So far I've...

Which do you think would be a better choice?

Folks - rather than trying to wade through the hundreds of pages of threads on this headphone I thought I'd try the direct approach...   I am trying this 'phone at present and am finding the above results - thick heavy muddy sound, treble is poor and lacking detail. I am running them off a...

...or is it a bit like the Beyerdynamic DT880 and DT990 situation where even though the DT990 was ostensibly the 'flagship', the two were widely regarded as being more-or-less equal in quality. A similar situation could said to have existed with the Sennheiser HD600 and HD650.   I think I've...

need some option on my setup...    planning to get HE-6 power off my Bryston B-100 Int Amp .  with HE-Adapter.   Is is 100watts per channel.   is that going to be powerful enough.?      I have also a bryston BHA-1 on pre-order.   will convert to dual balance 3pin .   also how...

Ok yeah, I ordered some HE-300s and I got HE-6s.. my amp is a FiiO E10.. ok I'm going crazy my hands are shaking, I'm uploading a video now.

Just came up with what might be a great solution to my efficiency problem of my HE6 headphones.  The Wadia 151 with a rated output of 25 watts per channel in 8 ohms with the HE adapter at the new special price of $799.00 may just be a great solution to drive the HE6.  Just checking if anyone...

Thread objective What does HiFiMAN HE-6 offer when you already have headphone X?   Does it offer something that can supplement/complement the headphones one already own? For example Loevhagen has written extensively about orthodynamic headphones having some especially attractive qualities...

Hi I'm new to high-end headphones (over the ear).  I just moved and can't use my loudspeakers any longer.   I need any help and advice on the Hifiman HE-6.   i live in Huntington Beach (zip 92646) and was wondering if there are any retailers that have this model in stock for...

Hi folks   so I've seen a lot of stereo amplifiers with headphone out, and just wondering how effective are these headphone out ports on them? Some stereo amplifiers aren't that expensive when bought used, but is the headphone amplifier component any good, if the headphone out even works as...

I just recently moved and can't play my loudspeakers any longer.   I have been told the HiFiMAN HE-6 are a good choice for hi-end headphones.   I contacted the dealer in Torrance, CA & they don't have demo models & only sell them new in the box.    I'm not going to purchase these expensive...

The reason I'm asking whether or not this amp can power the HE-6 is because I've read a Headfonia review that stated the Fiio E12 'Mont Blanc' could amply drive the HE-6, and the Fiio E09K is apparently even more powerful than the E12, according to the specs sheet.   However, Headfonia has...

A couple of definitions in this thread... By 'drive' the HE-6, I mean being able to drive them to a greater-than-loud listening level with no noticeable distortion and/or clipping. By 'dedicated headphone amp', I mean an amp that is designed to drive headphones, not a hifi receiver designed to...

Hello, I am considering buying either the Audeze LCD-3 or the HIFIMAN HE-6 (I already have the HE-500 and love the sound).    Considering I get an amp that can properly drive the HE-6 (such as the EF-6) which one would be the better headphone regarding details and bass impact?

6 Years ago I bought a HD555. It was good all around and I used it mostly for games. Then one day I went to my really rich uncle's house in China and I plugged my HD555's into his $10,000 cd player. I remember being completely WOW'd.  It sounded so real.  (keep in mind up until that point...

I want to say "Oh-my-God... it sounds... I have no words" when I close my eyes and press play button. I would like to buy a new headphones (and headphones amplifier) wich makes me feel like I've been wasting my time with my actual Bose...   My music equipment is: Cambridge Audio azur...

Hi everyone   I've been thinking about this for a while and came to a conclusion today. There really isn't much left for me in the headphone world of dynamics and orthodynamics. I have heard just about every headphone I am interested in listening to that involves these two driver types and I...
