I mean this in the most positive sense, but Hifiman really need to sort out their construction and design methods in terms of applying quality to their products.
Just to be clear - the HE1000 (to me) looks very classy - but the quality of the build is awful for the price. The same can be said for the 560. In contrast the build and quality of say the LCD 4 (I'm not gonna mention failures), HD800, HD700, Stax 009 etc, are stellar, and are where we should be at for these kind of prices.
I am convinced that the final product for this project will not be worlds apart from what we are seeing now. I'm sorry to say.
