And when the upgraded version (featuring housings made from rare dinosaur fossils and damping made from feathers of the rare Peregrine falcon) comes out, we'll rush out to buy that one too.
...as far as i know or guess the new HE-6 has been under development already for 2 years.They have been building up molds for the coming headphones wich probably will be several different models.The LE is one of those new products.I wish i could see wood in a headphone in the price category of 1200-1600 USD .When you open the HE-5 and put metal against the inner driver its quite magnetic so gold has good conductance but also probably some golden softness to the sound.
I think, personally, that the price difference is enough that there wouldn't be much cannibalization. The HE-5LE are terrific for the money, and a lot more people can buy $600 headphone than a $1200 one.

Right on! If the price is going to be 1200 or more that is just too much for me, but at 600 or 700 dollars seems more affordable. Though I am thinking about the LCD-2
lol... I guess never say never... Cheers, *** Also has anybody else noticed a trend now?????? All top headphones are in the over a grand category! Hmmm pretty soon they will raise the bar to 2 grand... oh boy... by that time I will just get speakers lol...
Is the orthodynamic clique rearing it's ugly head? That's some very unfair comments from Sachu and others before you guys even know what it looks like.
There are whispers around ! , the HE-6 will not be in the HD-800 category its a contender in Orpheus category wich make it more than interesting otherwise Fang would have not pointed to the caliber of the Threshold amp.The new headphone line of HIFIMAN needs also a reference model , if its great it allows huge sales also in other cheaper models.They have put a lot of research in the last 2 years to develop this phone and its hard for a headphone addict to wait to see what they have to introduce at CANJAM , at least we will see gold drivers.
