Hifiman Edition X
I may have been unclear, I already have the HEX. It is odd, certainly. As I said, I also recognize the treble not being the most clear/forward, and it's not supposed to be the case with these headphones, but boy can they hurt my ears, at least as much as an un-modded HD800. When I say hurt...- Kyno

Hifiman Edition X
Do anybody else having a hard time with ear fatigue? It was rather unexpected given what I read about these headphones, although I noticed someone having this problem on this thread, but there's something somewhere physically piercing my ears, and it's felt right away. Sounds a tad harsh...- Kyno

Reply to review by 'kyno' on item 'HIFIMAN Edition X Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphones'
I'm late to the party, but that shows how everyone hear is different. I've owned both HE-560 & HE-400i for a few months. I had to resell the 560 that was giving me ear fatigue (not to say actual pain) in the treble region, while the 400i sounded just fine.- Kyno

SONY NW-ZX2
I've got mine on sale fellow head-fiers. Not that I don't like it (really not at all ), but I ended up deciding to more reasonnable price-wise, not having that much portable needs overall. If it can be of any use for someone here...- Kyno

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I'm joining the club Had a interesting journey in the HiFi world. I wanted to try the big guys - at least some flagships around 1k - to see what they were all about. Coming from the HD650, I've went with the HD700, T1, HD800, then HE-560 route... didn't like with the first three...- Kyno

NEW 2015 - HIFIMAN HE400S
I'm surprized that you would see minimal differences, but I guess all ears are different indeed. I had been listening to the HE-400s for a week when I received the 400i a few days ago. Man do I find them different. I already knew I wasn't such a big fan of the 400s, but I instantly became...- Kyno

True that. Let's say it ain't impossible. I love the Crack+Speedball though, to the point of prefering that HE-560 pairing even though it's not supposed to work well at all with that amp, so that may also be tubes-related.- Kyno

Hear me then, I dislike the H10/560 pairing But then again I actually found myself to dislike the H10. It was technically quite efficient, but ended up feeling cold and somehow lifeless to me.- Kyno

I've noticed I actually had not reported this here, but thanks to Bill-P, I had given the Sonic Frontiers TransDAC a try with the HE-560. Well, for me that initially needed a "oomph" for these headphones, I wasn't disappointed. I usually only hear subtle (not say non-meaningful, or...- Kyno

Well, since I'm not listening as much as I used to as home, the HD650 took the lead for my small listening sessions and type of music as a desktop solution, and my HE-560 has gone on sale: http://www.head-fi.org/t/751880/hifiman-he-560-plus-optional-focus-pads-a-price-drop In case european...- Kyno

GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier
Interesting, of all my amps, this one definitely had the knob I liked the most. Smooth, and very adjustable sound, wasn't getting better than that for me.- Kyno

Agreed. The HE-500 had a reason to drop when the HE-560 got out, but if the HE-1000 is released at $2,999, I don't see the HE-560 moving an inch.- Kyno

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
As long as it's not "painfully" clear, this does sound good. The price doesn't (at least compared to my $700 used HD800 & HE-560), I'm still hoping they'd go closer to 2k while bringing the HE-6 closer to 1k, also being a more direct competitor to the HD800/LCD3/LCD-X, but that's another story- Kyno

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
Well, it seems also very hard to find I'll keep it in mind, but my ears (brain?) always had trouble with closed-back headphones, maybe I'm too claustrophobic that way I still wonder in what ways the HE-1000 will improve over the HE-560, since it's really not bad headphones to start...- Kyno

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
You made me laugh Probably because I feel you Still, I won't regret it if it's not a revolution as per current flagship standard below 1,5k. It would probably be 3 times or so the price of an HD800 here if it was to retail at $3000 in the US, or 3.5 HE-560 units. As the same time, a...- Kyno

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
I'm in the exact same state of mind, although my line is closer to $1,500 new, which actually meant $900 for a few months used HD800. Since I'm already enjoying it, same with the HE-560, I could see myself buying a used HE-1000 for two times the price of an HE-560 it if was significantly...- Kyno

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Low to mid, my volume is usually more on the quiet side than high & grandiose. But year, even then, past 3 minutes on this track and my ear took a beating. I'm quite treble sensitive though. I remember someone asking over the Gustard H10 how was the pairing with the T1, someone else answer...- Kyno
