Anyone know whether the Rapha Edition released in May 2015 is the 1st or 2nd generation?

My guess would be 1st but curious if anyone own this version and can help...

The Rapha Ear Pads (though a tad expensive) are extremely comfortable for long term listening sessions... they are made out of the same African Hair Sheep leather that Rapha uses for their racing gloves.

Anyone know the difference between Gen1 and Gen2 H7? Never knew one existed until I saw the listing on Thomann.

You'd probably get better info in the H7 thread.

Did not know there was a H7 thread. Will do.....

Sorry if I sounded like I was shooing you away or something lol. I meant that if there is an H7 thread (which there probably is), there will probably be more people with the info you are looking for than on the H6 thread.

@Bubblejuice You'd previously mentioned your H6 Gen 1 sounded tinny when connected to one of your amps. I had a similar issue, and I was ready to curse and cry foul at those who recommended the H6. The problem was the stock cable: it wasn't fully inserted, so the connection was bad. It's an issue that can happen both at the source jack and with the earcup connections. Assuming we both had the same problem, the solution would be to press firmly, even if the connections seem secure.

Made the mistake of sleeping with these overnight. Ears hurt like hell for the next couple hours when I woke up. These get pretty uncomfortable after 2 hours but they are definitely not rated for more than that like my old brainwavz

@bubblejuice I agree with @bcarr112281. The H6 has some really great cable connections; very sturdy. I too have replaced the original cable with a silver one. I have been loving the synergy with my Chord Mojo and CEntrance DACportable which has the AK4490 DAC. The H6 was the first headphone to make me realize that, at the time, I was a bass head. I had written off the H6 as being bass anemic. Now it has slightly too much bass for my tastes but is still one of my favorite closed headphones when the mood calls for it.

Yeah, the Gen 1 also had issues with a custom cable I had, so that might be the issue. When not with my Amp the headphones would sound perfect.

Funny how our wearing/comfort experiences are so different... I have a small head and small ears and the B&O H6s are hands down the most comfortable headphones I have ever owned or demoed.  I wear them daily for periods of 4-6 hours straight and even longer e.g. long international flights 12-14 hours.  My Audeze LCD-2s were way too heavy and sweaty and I could only wear them for a short period of time, Grados and Senns always felt too clampy to me.

I don't know why (poor quality or something to do with the mic/volume controller) but the OEM cable was horrid on mine... definitely improved sound and connection with the V-Moda replacement cable.

Which VModa cable? The VModa M100 was my first real headphone. I have since purchased the XL Pads for it and the thicker coiled replacement cable. I never thought to try them out with the H6 due to the little protrusion at the base of the cable that locks it into place on he M100.

The V-Moda Extended Audio Only cable fits perfectly; I have the gray model.
