I am sure hifiman's price drops (HE-1000s, Aryas..) have been discussed at length here, but I couldnt find it. So: 1.What happened? Are these the new prices or is this a sale? 2.When? 3. Was there any communication from Hifiman as to why? I feel like I am dreaming!

After I went down the Stax rabbithole deep (SR-009 < SR 007 early MK1 with an KGSSHV amp: beautifull sparkling sound), the 007 finally lost to the HE1000V2. I just love the full, round, a little blowy bass on it and also the holographic and grandios sound. Later the He1000V2 got beaten by the...

When will the EF 600 be released in Germany? Thanks

Thank you! It is very low though.

Hello, my EF 400 makes a noise. It is a very low humming or buzzing sound, sorry, English is not my first language. I expected it do be dead silent, but I can hear this humming in the room. ( I am not talking about noise that comes out of the headphones, but from the amp itself.) My question...

Would the EF 400 be a good pairing with the HE-1000 V2 ? I couldn't find much on google, thank you so much.

Relax. We are talking about headphones! You really wanna call people out who use the word garbage to express themselves? Who are you?

;-) Yes yes like the rest of us ;-)

Any news on the new Omega?

Does anyone know how the Susvara pairs with Hifimans EF-6? I think I remember Hifiman giving away EF-6s to like the first 100 who preordered the Susvara, so I figure it is a good match. I could be wrong though. I own an EF6 and I am thinking about getting the Susvara. Thanks

I feel sorry for you, I hope everything will work out. As to the difference between the Phi CC and the original, I also like my Original 1266 more than 2 Phis CC I compared. The Phis CC to me sounded a little tamed in the treble and base and the stage seemed smaller. What I love most about the...

Is there any information on when the new Stax Omega Version will be released? I saw an interview in which it was announced, is that known around here? Shall I link it here? Havent been following this thread lately.

I havent heard the Mysphere but that could be a out-of-head-king-contester as well. Otherwise, yeah the 1266 for sure.

The he6 is not a step up from the 1000v2. (Resolution, staging, bass, seperation... ) Unless you seek a very bright headphone. The 1000se is a step up, according to almost every review.

So are you saying JPS-Labs told you it takes 9 months for the update? That can't be right, can it?

The other day I wrote this in another thread. (The question was: Which headphone sounds most realistically. Then the Stax mafia took over the thread.) Thought this might be of interested to some on here, too.: "To my ears the Stax sound is very beautifull, maybe the most beautiful. But it is...

To my ears the Stax sound is very beautifull, maybe the most beautiful. But it is not the most realistic, as in real life, like with instruments present. The Stax sound is airy, flowting, transparant. A real drumkit or a trumpet is not, at all. Most or many instruments in real life sound heavy...

So which serial numbers are we talking about when you say "the latest MK2 underwent improvments" ? Thanks

He isn't the first one to prefer the V2. (And now the SE)

Sorry to ask again but has noone tried the CC pads with the old AB-1266? Or is there information on that they were designed specifically for the PHI only? Thanks.

Do the CC Pads also improve the Non-Phi Abyss?

Interesting, the v281 should have way more power than the Hugo 2, so this is unexpected.

I like the sound of the EF6, but I dont have any comparisons. An Abyss owner mentioned to me that he felt the EF6 sounded powerful but not very precise. Now I am wondering.. He told me the Violectric v281 / 280 would be great. The master 9 gets great reviews all around but I have not heard about...

What amps are recommended for the Abyss? I am using an Hifiman EF-6 but I am not sure if I am missing out. Thinking about getting an Violectric V281 or an Audio gd Master 9. Thoughts? Lets talk about the best amping in here, it is crucial. Thanks.

I have a big head and I need to bend the frame but cant tell if more would be better, because more bending is not possible. Reading and writing this, I doubt that this is the best solution possible, especially at this price tag. But who am I.
