  Well, OK then.  At first it looked like the color choice reflected poorly on HiFiMAN's judgement, but there's obviously a silver lining so that photo shouldn't have colored my thinking.

 
Nice. You have a silver tongue just like the trim!

Hey, if Apple can have a pink iPhone, HiFiMAN can have a pink headphone!

Yes, your impressions and mine do seem similar!
Glad you noticed the same overall strengths and weaknesses that I did

so btw you think the hd 800 is still king in regards to soundstage and positioning right

Holy ****snacks! Hifiman just posted a picture of the 'Edition X' on facebook.
All black he1000 i'd say. They say it's at canjam.

Indeed.
 
Is that a trickle down version of the HEK? Lower impedance and upper FR.

Whoa, I might actually buy these if the price is right.

 

[Music Path]

How much is the price?

There might be more things to try at RMAF

Should be under 2K. Is all we know.

Hope its not like 1999$ xD

 

[FloRolf]

why do you guys think it's that much cheaper than the original HE1000?

 

[conquerator2]

It has been said. I read it somewhere around here.
Lighter, easier to drive. First impressions suggest it is warmer and less precise/microdetailed than HEK, which isprobably still technically very capable
All points to a HEK Lite esque headphone.
