Selling my final near mint condition 4-Screw HE-6. This is as close as I could ever get to the proto, from what I understand this is a Pre-Production model identified by the raw rectangular support bar vs the regular production threaded round support bar (The only other I have seen with that support structure is a model that AudioAddict posted which he bought from Fang directly at a meetup). You can also identify this headphone by the smooth silver yoke as the earliest versions of the EP 4S. You can also see in the cables the red and black dots were the earliest versions of HFM cables, before they switched to the L&R symbols. If you look at the pad picture you can also see this is the original HFM pad attachment mechanism (same structure as HE5), the new versions have retention rings. This is an extremely rare headphone already but this version certainly takes the cake for me aside from the proto I spent years chasing and never secured. So this is as early as it gets for HE6's. I am including a bunch of extras including a stock EP 4S headband.

I am moving on from headphones and looking to sell these gems.

Please check out the images, this is bone stock and still has the quarter panel foam as you can see in the images.

This sale comes with;

0. HFM Box
1. Original Cables
2. 1 Extra Grill Set
3. Extra EP 4-Screw headband (priceless w/ these headphones lol)
4. XLR to SE adapter
5. Original version of Hifiman Velour pads and new gen Pleather Pads
6. Extra Pads
  1. Oval Lambskin pads (I believe they are ZMF pads) I had so many pads I am not sure.
  2. New Hifiman Velpads - Softens attack a bit, adds a bit of bass bloom
  3. Pali pads (Sundara Pads) - These are excellent pads that soften up attack a bit and open up the sound. Very comfortable.
  4. Extra brand new HFM velour pads
6. Extra sets of pad retention rings
7. Slappa Case
8. Extra SMC Connectors
9. Speaker taps to XLR adapter
10. 1 set of CableMatters XLR Cables

Price is $2500 Shipped & Fully Insured (CONUS). WILL CONSIDER INTERNATIONAL SALES but shipping will need to be split depending on amount. Priority will go towards people with classifieds feedback.

Please don't hesitate to ask questions, amp pairing choices, pad choices or for more pics. Thanks!
