    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Anyone have these issue? It's not a big deal, but the left side keeps falling off no matter how many times I glue it. Alcohol, then reglue? I haven't addressed it yet because it isn't sound-related.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    It's hard to find a way or reason to upgrade, and that's a good thing. Maybe I'll look for a new source, but listening life is good.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Thanks. I really appreciate that it does have good bass, but it doesn't sound muffled. It's perfectly controlled/tight to my ears. When I want real beefiness, I switch to the LCD-3s.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    They are the non-fazor version. The amp works well with them, but the LAu was designed for the HE-6. It's not even clear whether to use the LCD-3s in low or high gain. It seems to depend somewhat. Probably low gain for most music.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Anyone have a pair of early 4-screw HE-6s properly amped and tried the Susvaras through the same setup? I am not that interested in upgrading but curious hearing from anyone who has experience with both. To this day, the HE-6s, paired with the discontinued Liquid Gold, remain my favorite...

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Anyone think there is anything as punchy, yet tight, and better with dynamics than a properly-driven (4-screw for me) HE-6? It is so hard for me to imagine it. I am stuck thinking low sensitivity is best at the moment. The Cavalli Liquid Gold was designed with the HE-6 in mind, so it doesn't...

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    Toxic Cables did just reach out to me with a photo of a shipping receipt that identifies the first line of my address. I do not have what I have purchased, and that is why I am upset. I have no interest in harming any manufacturer. My Toxic Sennheiser HD800 cable still remains the best cable I...

    Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread

    I placed an order for a Black Widow for my HE-6s in January of this year. After a few emails asking for an update I finally received a "Your order is complete" email a couple months ago. Since then, I have received nothing. This used to be a great company. R.I.P. I will need the community's...

    Now that Focal introduced beryllium into the headphone market, will diamond be next?

    Well we saw our first $55,000 headphone system with the successor to the Sennheiser Orpheus. I think you mean we will see the first standalone retail-priced $6,000 headphone. I don't doubt it.

    Liquid Gold - 2014

    Who here has regularly listened to the LAu + HE-6 combination and made a confident conclusion that another headphone performs better with the LAu? If so, then on which metrics did these special cans surpass and/or underperform? I have not listened to the latest flagships, but have hesitantly...

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I just wanted to restate my love for these cans. I know many HE-6 owners continue to revel at the sound quality they hear out of their system. I still regard my pair powered by Cavalli's Liquid Gold Amp as my favorite audio reproducing system. With proper amplification, these cans produce the...

    Audeze LCD-4

    I love Audeze. Audeze is the first audio company I truly loved. They are responsible for most of my best listening experiences, and I take that seriously. I cherish those listening sessions. Their decision to charge $4K for their new flagship did surprise me at first glance. But market dynamics...

    whats so special about planar magnetic headphones

    The "Thunderpants" headphones shouldn't be mentioned again on this site. I was burned on this deal, as were many others.

    HIFIMAN HE6 Amp Ranking Database

    The Cavalli LAu is the only amp that ever made the HE6 worth keeping and revering (over my other headphones, as well). The Lyr was decent but never made me love the headphones.

    Did Sennheiser just reveal the Orpheus successor?

    I've heard his system. It's an emotional experience. The speed exceeds a person's ability to detect error in realism. It's not one that anyone could possibly impart onto another faithfully through words. Those headphones express human emotions from music extraordinarily well. All technical talk...
