For those of you who own, or have owned, both the HiFiMan Ananda (v.1 or v.2) and the HiFiMan HE6se v.2, which of the two do you prefer? I lean in one direction and am curious about how others opine in this regard.

Feel free to justify/explain your vote.

Thank you.

I just realized that my vote is invalid as I have never heard the Ananda.
I just love my HE6se V2's so much that I got all excited and jumped in.

Of course you need to have a good amp partner with this choice.

There are 2 Ananda's versions (revisions)?

Depends on your amp situation.He 6 V.2 need a powerful amp to sound good.

Stuffing the ballot box already!

Agreed, although I have had excellent results with the lowly S.M.S.L. SP200 (~2.35W/50ohms). But given more power (e.g. W4S mINT w/~17W/50ohms on reserve) the HE6sev.2 do sound even better in every way for which they are already famous.

People dumping Aryas for HE6SE, can't imaging Ananda is even close. But no, I didn't vote.
