Hek has no inherent static sound something is wrong with a connection or defective phones
Try hek again wonderful sound

People do have complaints, but static is not one of them. Likely a defective pair. It happens (look over at the Elear thread, they were being returned at quite a rate for a while).

My guess is they are defective, two different sources and 3 different cables with the same results, I'll request a replacement. I wanted to try Hifiman and compare to the Utopia. I'm finding the Utopia kind of boring these days and my LCD-4 is up for sale.

I think it is over and done with now. Probably the link fails due to the forum software change. Try a search.

I subscribe, but have seen nothing on there for weeks.. Months if you discount the fact that some winners check in to ask if anyone else has gotten their upgrade.

Maybe this will ease your mind...

It is over, not likely to be many more posts there from now on.

That reviewer is dead WRONG in so many way, that's what I'm going to say.

v2 is just a sidegrade? Whatever...

I never had the V1 so I cannot comment. I can say however, that I'm very very happy with the v2.

so.... Microzotl 2 y'all!

It's not balanced... but it seems sexy, massive power and all? I remember it being mentioned in passing as a source for the HEK, but nothing as concrete as the auralic taurus recommendation. I'm now beginning to veer away from schiit since they don't seem to produce an amp that's actually top notch good for HEK but the auralic seems too expensive.

 

[doctorjazz]

Was always happy with mine, others have used ZOTL2 with HEK and also been happy.

The right driver on my v2 stop to sound
Contacted hifiman on Friday
They reply on Monday morning asking for receipt that I can't find (it was a gift from some ex colleagues)
All these on Monday
From there they stop to answer

I am intrigued by the HE1000 V2 because of the consensus that is very lightweight and comfortable and some say performs almost to the level of the mighty Utopia.

A few questions:
(1) is the HE1000 v2 picky with amps and generally difficult to drive? I usually use a Violectric V100 for solid state, which should have more than enough power, but don't know if anyone has experience pairing it with Violectric amps (I also have a Feliks Elise as a tube amp);
(2) any problems with build quality? Is it premium feeling? I see some complaints about that aspect and that's always seems to be the main gripe about HiFiMan.
(3) does it justify the price difference over the Edition X?
