I think head-fiers in general are just more likely to buy the LCD-2. I would say that Audeze has become somewhat of a "beloved" on head-fi more than Hifiman, whether deserved or not. The LCD-2 inhabits the place that the HD650 did when it was still a flagship.
To put it in perspective, when I go to a Seattle meet, there is about 6 lcd 2 at it but I have only seen 1 he6, 1 he500, and 1 he400 combined at the last 3 meets.
Probably moving up to LCD-3, big expectations for it since LCD-2 was flavor of the month quite a bit. I honestly found it difficult to not like the LCD-2 even though I love my analytical sound.
Lots of LCD-2 out there, so lots of them making the rounds too. I do think HifiMan (especially the HE-500) tends to get undeservedly overshadowed, though in many ways they are just as good.
