Let's try to connect H6 with 2 cables. You'll be surprise it's sound upgrade with more power, clearance, 3D and Bassssss.

 
I've seen you mention this before. You have my interest. For home use this would work quite well. Any recommendations on the cable?
 

  Thats a relief to people like me! My last possible return date was yesterday and now I am stuck 'happily' with V1.!

 
I would like to think this talk about the V2 sounding different is just placebo. I would not trade my current V1 for anything. The sound is just perfect to my ears.Any more bass would be detrimental to the rest of the sound signature in my opinion.

Any cables. It's better 2 same cables. Mojo is the best device for this because it has 2 different amplifiers for output.

If the sound isn't changed, what's the point of the v2? My guess is the person who replied doesn't know anything, just looked at specification and say its the same. It most likely is changed.

Saying that, I just bought a 1st gen black h6 from amazon.de in a lightning deal, impulse buy

30 days to return in amazon de? You can get v2 soon and do a comparison for us then send one back

Just came across this review of the beo play h6 gen 2, not sure if it has been posted already.

It appears you may be right. I posted a picture on the previous page--courtesy of a user on Twitter--that compares the two versions. It seems to show visible physical differences between the drivers of each model.
 
Of course, images aren't necessarily as they seem, even when they aren't edited.
 
Kind regards,

Why would there be a v2 if nothing is changed? And then why would v1 go on sale? There have to be changes.

Standard marketing strategy.

If indeed there is no difference between 1st and 2nd generation other than the driver appearances, then the discounted H6 1st Gen must be the best ROI headphone ever as you could get as much as 50% discount off retail.
 
Either way, I have no qualms paying the higher price as H6 2nd is still the best can I purchased at this price range IMHO.

In the place where I am writing from (Germany) I do not see a 2nd Generation in any websites. Its just Bang and Olufsen H6, listed everywhere. Is it just for US? I can somewhere they changed the colour inside the earpad from Greeen to black on the black version on the so-called second gen. I went to the Beostore last month, to claim the 'merchadise' they offer with the headphone, and the person there didn't know there was a second version. So I ignored the thing, then now my curiousity grew seeing so much response on this thread ! Anyway I am happy with the V1! I wanted another heaphone for my wife, but found nothing as good as this under 200 bucks!(I meant portable, outdoor friendly, compact and great sounding at the same time.. all better sounding options were either cheaplooking_/ bulky/ or some other ******** which kills the balance!)

It's not a USA only thing.

They're sold in the UK as well. I went to the Apple Store yesterday but they were still selling black-green H6s. All black H6s are definitely 2nd gen.

They`re also selling a `mark 2` version here in japan:

...no difference between 1st and 2nd generation 

I think the difference with cable inside headphones from right twitter to the left. Maybe more good materials are used. IMHO

Perhaps they are using cheaper components and sub-standard materials to maximize profits by introducing a version 2. Makes sense.

 
V1 will always be number 1....now a classic and instant legend.
