Dear Headfiers:

By popular demand, we have decided to acquiesce to the demands of our adoring public and create a loaner tour. We will be running three separate lists, one for the US&Canada, one for Europe, and lastly one for Australia&South East Asia. The rules are……

1. To enter the post below with your name and rough location (ie what country/state you are in.) It would be great if you could also include something about your audio past and maybe any review example links you have carried out previously.
2. That you agree to keep it for 2 weeks from the date of arrival at your tour stop and then you will post it on to the next person whose details we will tell you. Before shipping onward your review unit, please take some photos of the headphones, accessories and package so that we can see it was in good condition when it left you.
3. No whining that “but I should be next not him”, we will decide how the tour runs and in what order the tour will progress. If and when you are selected and are next in line, we will contact you via PM on Head-Fi where we will ask for your contact information and give any required information. Please kindly note that if you don’t respond after a couple of attempts you will forfeit your place.
4. You agree to post your first impressions of it when you get it (so we know you have it) and then just before you send it on, please post a little review of it in this thread or your own website or Youtube Channel, written and or YouTube video both ok.
5. You will need to cover the import tax if there is one, and the shipping cost from you to the next reviewer.

Easy enough right? Don't hesitate the join us now!

I'm not a reviewer, but rather a musician and headphone nut. I post comments on gear here and at HiFiGuides.

I would love to hear a closed back HiFiMan. I only have the HE1000V2 and love them like they were my favorite child.

I would compare this to the Denon D9200, EMU Teak, and LSA HP-2

Would like to join the AU/Asia tour.
Located in Dunedin/New Zealand.
Was part of the HE6se tour and I subsequently kept/bought that demo headphone….was last on the tour, I guess.
Had most Hifiman headphones….Susvara, HEKse, Arya, HE500 and a few others I can’t remember.
Thanks.

Thank you everyone for your enthusiasm for this tour! Regarding the import tax you are worrying about, the headphones will be declared as "sample" at a low value when we send them out, but please kindly understand that we cannot control how much they will be charged by the local customs. If you have any requests on the shipment, you can also tell us when we contact you. :beerchug:

I see there are several SoCal people on here already. I'd be interested in that leg of the tour as another SoCal tester. I just wrote a review for the ZMF Atrium Closed which I really loved. My current setup is a Gustard R26 to Cayin HA300 mkii. My current planars are a Meze Elite and the ZMF Caldera.

I am interested in participating in the Audivina tour (US) - located in North Carolina, USA.
I've been in and out of the headphone space for years, with the desire to expand on my current setup (Qudelix 5K > Schiit Lyr 3 > Audeze LCD-X), and get something to compliment the LCD-X. Likewise, this would be my first experience with Hifiman, so I'm excited to give these a try.

As part of European tour there should be no import taxes within EU.

Closed-Back :

Fostex TH610
Aeon Noire
Focal Radiance
Beyerdynamic 770
Meze Liric

Open :

HD800
Akg 701, K240
Ananda

Maybe to include Oratory1990 as beginning of EU tour so we can than try it with tailored EQ as well as factory tuned.
I can ask him if he is interested.

Hi, I am interested in the Europe tour.

I live in Rovaniemi, the Lapland region of Finland.

My "audio past" goes back to 2002, however I have become more invested in the hobby in the last five years.

I generally prefer closed-backs over open-backs. My list of HPs incluedes Focal Stellia, Audeze LCD3, GL1200, Hifiman HE6SE, E-MU Teak, Monolith M1060C and M1070C, Sash Tres and Sivga SV023.

Last weekend I also ordered HE1000 V2 which should arrive in time too.

I have a good selection of amplifiers for planars with two powerful tube amps in mkVi+ and CK300 and solid state amps in Liquid Gold X and iCan Pro. The Cayin N6ii Ti is my favourite dap as it combines R2R conversion with parallel high-current opamps for each channel for a strong current drive which is critical for planars. It can run low impedance full-size planars such as M1060C well, so it would be interesting to try Audivina on it as well.

I've got a MiniDSP Ears too so could take measurements and use HE6SE as reference.
