^^Everything about the HE-300s is getting more and more confusing everyday. Seems like Hifiman is all over the map.

A friend of mine recently placed an order and was sent an email from Wang Hong informing him that there will be a delay in shipping as they're having problems with the earcups on the HE-300, but they're working as fast as they can to fix it.
Unsure on if this is a batch only issue or the HE-300 line as a whole, possibly a revision 3 in the works?
try checking my picture on the last page. is mine possibly rev 3 then?
It looks to be exactly the same as mine so probably not, there isn't a confirmed Rev.3 or even rumoured Rev.3, the email my friend got was possibly an issue from a specific batch.
As you can see the headband is made out of metal and the velour pads are much thicker. now the headband is more stiff and wiggly at the same time. You can always tighten or loosen the screw to fix it. Small issue, but the service is impeccable.
The headband does not look like metal. are you talking about the area that holds the earpiece itself? thats metal.
yup, i was talking about that, previously it was made out of plastic, the same material used for the housing
Did you buy them right after they came out or something? I also had rev1s and they had the metal parts.
That's weird...I thought the rev2 came out around September?
Anyone paired the HE-300 with the Ibasso DX100?
Yes and it pairs well. I've tried the HE-300, 400 and 500 and they all sound good. I prefer the HE-400 the most with the DX100. The bass hits hard and sounds excellent with the HE-300.
