    Wow, what a nice price! It is not a very necessary upgrade if you didn't mind lack of impact/punch, image, depth of sound stage. I won't...

    HiFiMAN HE1000 v2 + HEX v2 release soon?

    Hi @Maxx134, Is there any improved in sound quality under low volume after replacing the new V2? I think it is a flaw in V1.

    HiFiMAN HE1000 v2 + HEX v2 release soon?

    Hi Maxx, It seems that you have 2 HEKs. Why not get 1 HEK V2 to own both versions of HEK? :D Did they charge you for V2?

    Best headphones to use unamplified?

    iPad and RCA connectors of CD player drive my HE1000 very well. I think it is one of the best ways to drive modded HE1000 without amp.
