500+ Head-Fier
Hope they make a HE-500v2, if they can indeed improve upon HE-500 that is, it's a pretty special headphone.
Omg the legend is back, I hope that Fang will upgrade the old but gold HE-500 to
Interesting products, but if they don't improve female vocals tonality and unless HE6SE is significantly better than Ananda, I won't be interested in. Ananda falls short of my expectations.
Ananda is a totally different technology from the HE-6 or HE-500. Haven't heard the 6 or the Ananda yet, but the 500 has nothing to prove in terms of female vocals which is about 65% of my listening.
What is your SOTA can for female vocals under $1k? Please don't say LCD-2.... :facepalm:
I'm on a plane to Iceland in about 4 hours, be back on the 23rd to see what this thread produces - which should be interesting.
Yeah, I have no issues with female vocals on the HE-500, HE-6, or HE1000.
I've not heard the Ananda yet, but the Edition X's (either) had exception female vocals.
Kinda disappointed in the price of $3500USD for the HE1000SE, as I was genuinely interested in them. It would have been neat if it had been $3000USD like the V2's. With the Meze Empyrean coming in at $3000USD, that is likely to be tough competition. I guess the best idea is to listen to both if possible, and buy whichever you prefer.

Audio46 is selling the HE1000 V1 for $2100 ... seems like the best option.
Edit: Just noticed, it's an open box sale. Probably the only one too. So, never mind.
Is it me? or are all of these new releases are just getting out of control? I guess we will be the ones to decide when its enough. I think that as long as the heapdhones continue to sell, the company will continue this path. Dr Fang is definitely an aggressive businessman. Good for him, but I am not buying for now
