Has anyone tried one of those Sundara-like headbands?

Okay, I played the new pair of HE6se V2 on a JDS Labs Atom for four hours last night. I came home from work today excited to see if the sound had improved. And, maybe it has??? I don't know ??? But, the bad news is that my old pair of HE6se V2 sounds amazing compared to this new pair! I am going to put it through some additional burn time on my Questyle CMA Twelve to get it some proper current flowing through it. If it does not improve, then HifiMan might be constructing HE6se V2 with varying degrees of quality and loose tolerances, which would be not cool for it's customers. I will let you guys know after I have determined my conclusion.I have started to second guess if my pair of HE6se V2 was bad batch or faulty, soundstage was small and dynamics flat as heck unless blasting 80 decibels or so volume , tested with plenty of amplifiers ranging from 2 to 10 wats but no remedy.
With a better amp these Blow away your Sundara's by a large margin.The bass on mine is pretty neutral, only a little more elevated than on my Sundara. However, it is far more textured and has more impact and rumble. This is with my Drop balanced THX amp. With my Topping L30 my Sundara sound a bit better. Amplification is key.
But what if you are comparing two duds? Oh, the insanity!Ok, I just impulse bought another pair to compare to my originals. Ya know... for science and all. I'll be sure to report back my detailed findings.
They are a good upgrade from Sundara.With a better amp these Blow away your Sundara's by a large margin.
$599.00 or even $555.00 is a Great sale price! But only if you have the amp for it.
I see so many of these for sale that are almost brand new. These may not a "real" $1,800.00 headphone, but if you don't have a real strong amp it is going to cost you well over $1K (total price for HP's and amp) to get them to sing loud and proud.
Indeed. I got these with sundara at the same time. Sundara was put on sale the next day and I didnt look back.With a better amp these Blow away your Sundara's by a large margin.
