Looking forward to trying them out. The price is quite high though hopefully they live up to it.   Hifiman need to upgrade their warranty though. One year is ridiculous for the prices on their stuff. They do have good customer service but build quality wise my experience with them has been...

Having been in the same situation about a year ago and I was specifically looking for a closed headphone that sounded as open as I could find, while keeping strong bass. I tried most closed-back headphones around under 1000$ and the 1540 were the best and most open sounding. The only other one...

Just received mine. Couple quick observations. The pads look MUCH better. The stitching is great now and they are back to different pads for each ear. The woodies had the exact same pad on each and it simply looked stupid. The inside is also different. The new ones use perforated leather instead...

My replacement is also at the delivery center. Shipping only took two days, but I am now living in singapore so that might be the reason. Can't wait to hear them back to back.

This is weird. I do not have this problem with a similar test. But I have had a similar problem that was related to my O2\ODAC. Do you have the odac\o2 combo in one box? The one I have from mayflower also does this when the odac inside the case is pulled so it touches the rear panel (the usb...

  Whole post is pretty much my exact experience.

  Should have gotten them direct :D. It cost about 40$ for shipping + duty and took 3 days to get them. I'm in Montreal too.

  Great customer service, honestly from the response to the ear pad issue (which was in no way an obligation, plenty of headphones are just designed like this), to this I think it tells a lot about the company.   Here are my problems with them:   - The grill retaining ring glue seems badly...

I forgot to say, but for canadians, duty cost was only 22$ :D

Haha yeah...I'll try listening to them without grills to see if I like the sound better. Did you try anything with yours already?

Yeah I pulled a bit on it and it definitely glue, but mine doesn't seem strong at all :D...Half of the ring doesn't seem to have a drop of glue on it strangely, and where the glue starts it comes off easily. The grill is coming off to the point where you can see behind it. I really don't want to...

So, received mine today and I love the sound so far, definitely keeping them. My only problem is the ring retaining the grill in place, it is loose at the bottom and is coming out or the enclosure. Is it supposed to be glued in place? Or are pins used?   Don't want to mess with it too much in...

Weird, but still the difference with the momentum will be much larger. Can you go audition them? You will probably make your mind up instantly. Thankfully its a very popular headphone so you shouldn't have a problem finding a retailer that has demo units...

Can you drive your HD600 to a confortable level directly out of your Sansa Clip? If you can I honestly doubt the sound differences between direct and the amp\dac stack will be that big. Just tried them directly out of my Galaxy Note 3 and to be honest it sounds just as good as out of my amp to...

This has to be the fastest a company has responded to a potential problem I've seen, and in the best way possible. Huge props can't wait to get mine.   Interestingly, I have this same problem with the PM-1. After wearing the headphones for a couple week intensively the padding seem to have...

You probably only received the headphone portable case so far? From the pictures people posted the headphones and the portable case seem to come in two separate packages.

  There was only one shipping option for me. 22$ Express shipping. I'm in canada.     Is that declared value or duty cost? I assume the latter?

I didn't read all the talk about headphone prices in the last two pages so pardon me if it was written there...but has anyone posted what was the declared value\duty costs when they received the he-560?   Mine just shipped today from HK (i'm in quebec) which is great considering hifiman told...

Definitely not as small I can guarantee that. My ears hurts quickly when wearing momentum but I can pretty much wear the Oppo all day. On especially long days some parts of my ear do get sore so its not a huge opening but really not momentum small.

To those that had their order shipped, where is it coming from? Directly from china?

This was my un-educated guess on why they sounded more closed than most open headphones...since they appear to leak less and putting my hands on the grills affected the sound less than most. I am curious to see what the more adventurous owners will find inside and the results of modding on their...

To me they sounded pretty much the same. I couldn't find repeatable differences enough to be sure it wasn't all in my head.

I still think slightly longer would have been better. I use it with my laptop and its a bit too short to comfortably move around and I doubt it would have really impacted portable use. Still, this is nitpicking and I could just use an extension or something...

That was the plan. They are VERY good with some stuff and I plan to make the most of my time with them. Hopefully I'll be able to do a direct comparison with the HE-560.
