I'm a born critic - I salute those that find happiness with things as is. Carry on.So far I have had zero complaints about the HE6se V2.

I'm not hearing any of the "ringing" on my HE6se V2 previously mentioned for older models. So I don't know if it would make a difference but I'm still slightly curious. But I'm not hearing anything obviously "wrong" on mine.Considering doing the fuzzor mod for the 6se's. Reading through the past few pages, it seems like it may not be necessary? Does anyone have any comments on whether the changes are positive? I found that they were great on my 500's but not sure if that would be the case for the 6se's as well.
Not ringing. Cancellations and reflections is what fuzzor takes care of. BUT, the stators of the OG HE-6 and HE-500 are much wider and the change is obvious. The HE-6 SE (v1 and v2) has thinner stators and the effect is well less pronounced. As I've written on my HE-6 SE (recently) - the hierarchy of improvements IMO is: PEQ, pads, rear screens (minimum or none), capable OFC cables, dynamat (cut cup vibrations), fuzzor mod. On my HE-500 I list fuzzor 2nd.I'm not hearing any of the "ringing" on my HE6se V2 previously mentioned for older models. So I don't know if it would make a difference but I'm still slightly curious.

Curious what would you say the hierarchy of improvements for OG HE-6 (6-screw) are?Not ringing. Cancellations and reflections is what fuzzor takes care of.

It's my take on HFM that the drivers are in general first rate for the cost, but that much less care and research are done on the surrounding items - like the headband on your set and cable are substandard. The pads on the v2 are better than the SE (v1), but, still well below the best attainable. I've been anti fancy cables for over 20 years before encountering the HE-500 and HE-6 SE (and conducted double blind tests) and have no issues with the cables of other manufacturers.
LFF... which is essentially not available anymore...Curious what would you say the hierarchy of improvements for OG HE-6 (6-screw) are?
