About this deal

Starting with the build, LCD-MX4 is much more comfortable, at first, but it is also heavier than He6SE, and quite a bit so, so you're more likely to get good comfort from HE6SE than LCD-MX4, after you adjust to their personal fit and style. A new headband, new connectors and a shiny new set of cups gives me the distinct impression that this looks like the Massdrop version of the legend.

Of course, to get the most out of Thror, you will need at least a midrange DAP like FiiO M11, but even then, HE6SE can't really be driven portably, making Thror the better option if you don't want to stress about power.When the HE6 went out of production, to make way for new models such as the HE1000, there was a deep sigh of anguish which could be heard echoing through the valleys of the portable audio clan. The construction comments are accurate; built quality pales in comparison to, say, my Focal Clear MG Professional headphones. Design is more difficult to evaluate, at least from an aesthetic perspective; from a functional perspective it has issues which also have repercussions on comfort. I have Geshelli Erish a very highly considered amp that is 1 watt per channel and it clips badly with the HE’s.

HEXV2 treble is even more airy and more natural and I imagine Ananda and Arya would be the same, both for considerably less money than the HE6SE. It's kind of like a live-venue experience, or theatre, where the speakers encompass you, but as with a headphone, the sound feels more intimate, and more detail can be heard. HIFIMAN HE6SE vs Warwick Acoustics Sonoma Model One - You may start to wonder why the hecc did I add a comparison between a headphone that costs 1800 USD, or about 3000 USD as a package, with a setup that costs over 5800 USD. Just want to say “big thanks” for the Information that the HE6seV2 can be appropriatly driven by your AK Kann Alpha!In fact, it is pretty much as good as a dedicated amplifier like Master 19, but DAC+ has a different tonality, warmer, more romantic, more mellow and the detail, while it is there, feels less like it is being pushed onto you. The level of detail present is very high, to the point you get minute details like the vibration of leather on drums (in the aforementioned track The Battle as an example). I don’t get upset about cables as I usually like to get one I prefer so I’d rather HP companies put all their efforts into the headphones themselves. But you have to ask yourself: is that enough to make you ignore the discomfort caused by the headband and the fact that they look like cheap headphones while they cost almost 2 grands? Even if you prefer a warmer, more romantic midrange, something like Arya would be an excellent choice, but if you want the honest truth, HE6SE will really reach your heart.
