Santa came early this year! Got this package from my local hifishop for just 2000$ (Everything is brand new, newer taken out of the box) (And if anyone wondering if they have anything left, they don’t….)

DONT KNOW WHAT TO OPEN FIRST

It looks like that the crown jewel in your bulk purchase is this:

Yes! I’m really enjoying their sound, more balanced than my STAX L700.

Punch in the bass
Better resolution
Wider soundstage (not as tall/deep)
Less forward midrange


Looking forward listening for improvement with burn in.

Also consider the brand new HE6 at 600$ a decent crown jewel.

Newer owned a HE500, so I was pleasantly impressed with that model also.

Haven’t gotten to unboxing the HE300 and HE400 yet.

I would leave the HE-300 and HE-400 in the box, as they will resell at a higher value unused. As for the HE-6 and HE-500, I would think that you learned your lesson from your broken HE-6 that there are headphone amps that will power them with authority these days.

Yes I’ve learned, actually blew another pair of HE6SE about a month ago that I have forgotten to mention xD After that pair I went ahead and bought the Burson Soloist 3x.. The A90 drove all HE6’s models well, but the Burson have noticeably better sub bass control.

Anyone know what cable this is? They came with the HE6, doesn’t look like the regular silver that comes with the HE6.

That is a stock Hifiman 4-pin-XLR cable with mini-SMC connectors, which are like the connectors on this one:

Really!? They shipped black rubbery cables?

If i was going to sell the HE-500 as a only check box? Is this normal for old school Hifiman? (I mean the box?)


My experience with the HE6 are they come with the leather hard case
