HifiMan HE6 V2 Adorama

[atomLI631]

A cheaper alternative is the capra strap. I got one for my HE6SE V2 thinking I would use it until I decided what new headband to get and have never felt the need to end up replacing it.

i had the capra strap. my problem is I have close the headband almost all the way down for my shrek-head. and the capra strap would slip so it rested on the headband anyway. I put some 3m dots to keep it in place and that did work well.

A little bit, sure, but only at first. It's quite easy once you get the hang of it and have a thin tool to reattach the clips. I've swapped pads hundreds of times on HFM headphones and I barely have to think about it anymore.

Agree, gets easy but first times not so much fun.

Additionally, I do think it's worth the hassle on the 6se/v2 in particular. Some people really like the stock pads, but I think the stock pads are in the "okay, not great" category and they hold the headphone back a bit.

Stock pads are meh at best IMO.

But, that being said, it's not life changing, make or break difference. I would still hang onto my pair if the stock pads were as good as it got. So if you don't want to mess with them, I totally get it.

i disagree - changing pads (after picking after listening) AND rear screen to something much less restrictive makes a big difference, not as much as PEQ, but more than cables, fuzzor mod, and any other common mods.

Here is what one amazon reviewer had to say about this $52 headband:

"4.0 out of 5 stars This headboard fits HE6SE V2 perfectly​

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024

Yes, it fits without any modifications, no disassembly needed, original screws fit exactly.

On the other hand, it is only slightly more comfortable than the original. However, if you add padding (I happen to have ZMF's pilot pad) it becomes game changer ..."

It looks like the gambles and yokes from that headband might fit the audeze one. I believe you don't need to own one of their headphones if you just buy the headband. Either way that's a good price for that headband
