what pads are you using with your HE-6 ?
From what I've heard, velour pads are good and prefered over the pleather ones.
As for other pads, Audeze Vegan are often recommended but unfortunately not available anymore.
I disagree. Even the stock pleather pads sound worlds better than velour. Velour destroys the bass and does wonky stuff to the treble

A hot but very satisfying week in SoCal...
..."It's in the books!" -
my HiFiMAN's finally racked 1,000 dedicated hours inside the listening room. A session filled with wax (45's) - Astrud Gilberto; Getz/Gilberto; Bill Evans Trio.

I won't be able to compare the HE-6/Klout against the Stax 007 Mk1/KGST 'til tomorrow. 007 transparency against the HE-6 immediacy.

If you want the best of both worlds plus more, you can get it with an SR-009 or SR-009S and a KGSSHV Carbon.
