Yes, once again, thanks for those nice photos Ed. Certainly, the HE-6 is one of the nicest looking headphones I've seen in a long time. They look well built too.
You mean his has been back to home country

Of course. When I said "abroad" , I didn't mean "with a broad".
Saying abroad, just sounds cooler, more professional.
This HE-6 Loaner program seems to have fallen flat and lost momentum. This is not doing a service to the Head-Fi community. Head-Fi'ers involved in this program need to step up and fulfill their responsibility to the community.
X2. Do we even know where the east He6 is any more. I Know El Doug had it almost 3 weeks and we still have not seen any impressions
I got the West HE-6 today.
There was a lot of dust, lint, & hair on the earcup cushions, so much that I actually bothered to sit down and try to pick some of it off before putting the headphones on my head. I seriously have to wonder where the headphones have been so far - well actually it'd probably be better if I didn't know.
I've been listening for about an hour so far on a B22 and it sounds ok but not exactly what I was hoping for personally and only further listening will determine if I want to buy my own pair or not. I will say right now that I definitely prefer my OII/BHSE (and the Grado HP2 also) at least when it comes to classical music (not yet sure about other music types).
I did keep the cans for 2 weeks instead of 1 (not sure where you came up with 3), and for that I humbly apologize - I am really on the fence about buying a pair! I am currently editing a rather lengthy (at least for me) set of impressions, which I sure hope help the community
The cans are currently in transit, in fact I believe they will be arriving in NC sometime today. Don't get your knickers in a knot
Can anyone shed some light on the HE-6's for me? I am currently using the 404LE's with a 007T amp and I am satisfied but I would like more bass. Do you guys (those who have the HE-6's) think that it's a worthwhile upgrade? I know that I would most likely have to buy a seperate speaker amp/receiver to power the headphones but that's no biggy to me. I would be using them soley for movies on the Realiser.
The HE-6 is better in nearly every way. Speed, dynamics, frequency response, and detail. All with the airiness and transparency of an open electrostat. It's on another level. The Omega 2 is really the only "fair" competitor from Stax. And for Bass, the HE-6 is incredible. I'm able to hear/feel bass from the HE-6 below 20Hz even. Not very powerful at those infrasonic frequencies, but still there. At 20Hz it's quite head pounding.
