HE1000 V1 is the first model we use wood veneer to make headphones. Veneer is light and much more reliable comparing to wood. There are issues at the beginning batch of HE1000 V1 because HIFIMAN team need some time to know more about veneer and tooling.
I decide to go to V2 because I feel HE1000 V1 480g weight is heavy to me. In addition,V2 build quality was improved a lot: we redo tooling (both metal and veneer) so that we improved a lot of fitting and finish. I feel upset that there are some headfiers say V2 was badly built. If you have opportunity, please take a looking before posting.
Shangri-La and Edition 6's metal parts were made from CNC. CNC such complicated parts cost a lot more than any tooling procedure. So Edition 6 estimated building cost is actually 3 to 5 times than HE1000.
We will attend NYC canjam and show off HE1000 V2, Shangri-La and Edition 6.
