Hey guys I'm new here in this forum. Been reading posts for some time though. Currently I have a pair of Hifiman HE 560, driven by Schiit Lyr 2. I use both Marantz tt-15 turntable and Bifrost Multibit as my source. Recently I have just moved to a new apartment so I'm thinking of setting up new...

I took delivery of a new pair of HFIMAN HE-560 headphones yesterday. Nice construction and the sound is what I am looking for after auditioning the Beyerdynamic t1, Grado gs1000e and Sennheiser HD 800.  Planar headphones might just be the ticket for me! But I have one serious problem: Moving...

I have an HE-560 and an HD600 with a broken driver. I want to keep my HD600 as a companion to the HE-560, but I can choose to get either a single new HD600 driver ($70.90 each) or two new HD650 drivers ($50.23 each). It would cost about $30 more to get HD650 drivers over the single HD600 driver...

After having asked and received for a wonderful Christmas gift, the Oppo PM-1 and Oppo HA-1 amp (based on the overall great feedback here and elsewhere) - I found that I was Scroogily-disappointed with the PM-1’s. Not sonically, but simply for their poor comfort. I was seeking relief after 20...

*****POLL MISTAKE: MEANT LCD-2 NOT LCD-3!!***** I have a $1000 and my choices at this point are huge. Basically I have 6 headphones that I'm considering buying. The Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime, Beyerdynamic T5p, Beyerdynamic T1, Hifiman HE-560, Fostex TH-900, Audeze lcd-2. I would prefer open...

Audeze has released images and samples of the upcoming EL-8 headphones. With testers already auditioning these new headphones, lets hear what your impressions are. 

❄ The HiFiMAN RE-300h: An Unexpected Journey IEM ❄   Disclaimer      First of all, I just want to sincerely thank Peter and the guys over at HiFiMAN for giving me the opportunity to review their new RE-300 IEMs. I would like to clarify that I am neither affiliated with HiFiMAN or any of its...

I have a chance to get a really good deal on a HiFiMAN HE-6 but I cannot audition one anywhere nearby. I'm a big guy (6'8") and I have a big head to match. I have tried the HE-560 and I don't quite fit with part oh my earlobes hanging out. Is the HE-6 much bigger?   My Audeze LCD-2 and...

Hello!   I've had the LCD-2s for awhile now, and I like them alot, but I want to try something new. I also struggle a bit with their comfort.  I cant wear them more then 1 hour before it itches on my head, even with suede headband.  Basicly I have come to the conclusion that I want either...

I’m trying to decide between these two (will do SE version of either first, and possibly BAL version later; currently my DAC‘s balanced outs are going to my speaker amps). Does anyone have direct experience with both of these designs using HiFiMan orthos? (Even more ideally the HE-560s, but I...

Does anyone know where I can go to buy the new HiFiman 560 headphones anywhere in Southern California? I've searched everywhere online but no luck.

Hi guys, It is no secret that I absolutely love my HE-560 and RE-400 [essentially a slightly n-shaped HE-560 lite for a steal price!]. Now that I have my IEM and home full-size covered for some time, I'd love to find a portable headphone, which sounds similar to either of them. My definition...

      HE-560 Enhancement Mod v1.5.0         2015-02-08: UPDATED TO V. 1.5.0, FROM 1.0.1; CHANGELOG POST         Preface     This is the result of a couple dozen hours of tweaks (Edit 2015-02-08 a couple more dozen hours now, with v. 1.5.0) after the last several months of HE-560...

The Sennheiser HD800, Grado PS1000e, Beyerdynamic T1, and Hifiman HE560 all play up to 50 khz. Why design headphones to reproduce frequency ranges beyond 20khz if there is nothing there?  

I have a Valhalla and was wondering if it was powerful enough to juice the HE560's properly. I just got the HE560's and they sound great but I am not knowledgeable enough to know the ins and outs of powering this stuff. I love the Valhalla with all of my other cans, especially my cheaper stuff...

heyhey!   Just curious if anyone had any sub-$50 tube suggestions for the Lyr 2 + HE-560. Looking for something that will improve the basssss.   Or would $50 be too little to get any real improvement.   Thanks!!! :)

Which headphones would be the best choice for a Chord Hugo DAC?

Hello,   I currently have the M100 and was wondering how these would compare in quality and comfort. After about 1 hour my m100 start to hurt my ears.   My music taste vary, but I listen to mostly progressive, chill house, hip hop, relaxing (whatever that mean - I know lol)

Hello,   I was wondering if the above dap can push the above headphone to their full potential or if an additional amp would be required?

I recently saw that the new HE-560 and HE-400i. The reviews I've seen all say that the new headband and pad are amazing.   Not too long ago I bought a pair of HE-400's and they sound amazing, but the comfort isn't in top, as it is very heavy.   I was wondering, if anyone knows, if it is...

HiFiMAN HE-560: AN IMPROVED HE-500? FIRST IMPRESSION: DISPELLING A MYTH As promised, my HiFiMAN HE-560 arrived this weekend by overnight delivery from Todd (What a guy!). Usually, I wait at least a few months before voicing my opinion on any product. I am breaking my own rule today. My...
