Audeze might be out of stock too. dont see it on the site anymore, unless you had to call in.
I just got mine yesterday, you have to call or email them and provide proof of purchase of an Audeze headphone, they won't sell you the kit with out it

The extended yoke rods aren't the yoke kit, which need to be ordered from a dealer or audeze support.
Yep, I need to order the kit to attach to the HE-6SE. If Bloom is out (as it looks like) next option is Source AV? I'll try Audeze but have no proof of purchase since I traded for the LCD-2C. Either way no rush.
By the way, do you need the extended yokes or is standard good for this modification?
For the Audeze headband mod - the writeup on reddit says the screws for attaching the yoke to the cup is 2.5mm - anyone know for sure what the thread count is and length? I'm preparing to have all the parts needed ahead of time.
im sure you can go to a local hardware store for the screws and washers.

That's the easiest. Just bring the screw from the HE-6 to the hardware store and go from there. Of course, do this if the Audeze stock screw is incompatible with the screw hole of the HE6sev2.
That's what I did when I replaced my stock HE500 headband.

My v1 just arrived. I had the person I bought it from put on the the honeycomb grill and Dekoni pads. My goodness... the BASS! And resolution and detail is impressive. I am on High Gain at about 12 on a Jot 2. Very, very happy so far!

I got the Dekoni Elite sheepskin leather pads. The bass slam and amount increased. They also seal so well that the he6se driver can crinkle putting them on.
the downside to these, there`s now a glare in the vocals` S-pronounciation and also the cymbal sizzle got pushed forward.
After putting a single-ply of toilet paper both the glares went away. Interesting alternative to the default pads.
Without the toilet paper, the earpads the presentation is too fatiguing and wrong.

Best planar I have heard, hands down. Bass is superior to my LCD-2 rev 1 Pre-Fazor, IMO. And much better treble! Currently using the Fenestrated Lambskin pads from Dekoni. I have read that these pads could possibly kill the bass frequencies, but I am really digging the HE6SE v1 with these pads. I have to compare with my Focal Clear Pro, but these are amazing! The stock cable is just as awful as expected, but I had an extra Dyson Audio balanced cable that fits perfectly. STOKED!

D8000pro's are my current favorite still but I love my he6se as well

Looking forward to your comparison with the Clear Pro.

I highly recommend the Focal Clear or maybe the new Clear Mg. I think they are amazing headphones that compliment the HE6SE. Between these 2, you have 2 of the most resolving and enjoyable Open-backs I can think of.D8000pro's are my current favorite still but I love my he6se as well
I'm more into something that brings out the best in dynamics and I feel that is the mids/vocals to me from HD650 to Audio technica ATH-AWTK I felt like the vocals are the best, I love ZMF headphones too. I had the Eikon and Auteur I miss my Auteur >_<. But I actually preferred the AudioTech ATH-AWTK from any dynamics I had except I hate the build/fit etc but its a beautiful headphone
