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.

Ok so what should I do? Honestly I have no idea.

Contact them and send them back and get the HE-300 shipped out?

Ok the initial shock wore off, I'll give it a day and see if they get back to me, if not I'll contact them and see what happens, I could probably keep them but honestly I don't have an amp near enough to power these not to mention I definitely don't deserve them, I really hope they pay for shipping though, I'm broke.

I say keep them. But that's just me. Or sell them and buy your HE-300 and keep the spare coin. Do that. Or keep them and buy a new amp! I have no morals though.

honest man you are. i would have been listening to some he6s and not posting here

I've given them an email and will report back what needs to be done, I do stand by not having to pay for shipping though unless I can get it for $20 or under in which case I may aswell, they're quite heavy and I can't see them being that cheap to send to Hong Kong.

How do you think they'll sound from a FiiO E10? Probably not very good? I definitely want to give them a listen before/if I have to send them back.

opening a can of worms? only one way to find out amirite?

Clearly they made a mistake, so its good that you're asking them what you should do. Keeping them and feeling good about it seems a little... Bad.
 
IMO I would return them.

Maybe they'll give you an HE-500 instead. That E10 would clip like hell and you'd barely get any volume.

 

[TabooPc]

I mean even without an amp they're going to sound better than the HE-300s with the best amp the world has to offer... But still, its not right.

Okay:
 
A "good" man will return them but asks Hifiman to pay for your whole shipping cost (and they should, probably should give you some compensation too for wasting your time going through all that). 
 
A "bad" man will just keep them because it's entirely the company's fault.

I bet you're happier than the poor sap that ordered the HE-6 and got the HE-300...

Haha, probably so.
I don't think I need compensation as such, I'll happily take my ordered HE-300s if they pay for shipping for these.
