Just got a NIB pair from Hifiman store! I'm psyched!
Somebody said the mids are great with these. Yes they are!

It looks like a recycled catheter had a love child with a piece of wet noodle. I wouldn't be surprised if any real piece of wire sounded better
I’ve been debating getting these from Hifiman directly. There’s a lot of recent complaints about the Adorama ones having stuck drivers. The Hifiman are “open box”, but are supposedly tested. So one would think there’s less QC issues if ordering directly from Hifiman.Just got a NIB pair from Hifiman store! I'm psyched!

The Hifiman "open box" I got was a completely new Adorama box.I’ve been debating getting these from Hifiman directly. There’s a lot of recent complaints about the Adorama ones having stuck drivers.

Its problem is bad look, sound wise it's actually quite nice (just like any other cable)It looks like a recycled catheter had a love child with a piece of wet noodle. I wouldn't be surprised if any real piece of wire sounded better
HiFiMAN pulls prices out of thin air.Its problem is bad look, sound wise it's actually quite nice (just like any other cable)
Not sure if this price makes any sense at all though.
It's $549 new with a "special" discount.So with the $609 open box, $399 is for the cable that almost no one cares about?

Actually I am not sure that they are identical. Here is US, the $549 (before tax) is Adorama version HE6SE V2. HE6 OG is significantly better than both version of SE. The lower price also may reflect the QC issue of that batch. Even if you are lucky and don't care about the hassle to deal with the return/warranty, you still have to invest a lot more to get the full potential of HE6SE. I already paid $887 for AMP just for this headphone, possibly another $600+ to upgrade my DAC. As an alternative, I can use the fund to buy an equally great but easier to drive headphone with my current DAC/AMP.As I was discussing today with a fellow head-fier who pointed me to the $609 deal for European users. Those that bought the HE6se at $1899 must feel quite robbed.
