If you are going to buy it off of Hifiman's website you better make a unique password for that website (if you intend to make an account). That site screams: "We've been hacked 5 times already in 2019 but you won't know about the hack until 2020 when some random audit finds the backdoor". lol

This is the new generation after the famous HE560. l[/url]

and like the 560 you will want a good amp to drive these.

The key word here is Planar not Magnetic, a tech that needs to be heard....amazing sound!

Quality Control may be problematic, but in for one to try anyway...

Can anyone comment on these vs hd560? Similar, better, worse?

Just grabbed a set, anyone got a good DAP suggestion? Been using a uDAC 3 from Nuforce, that should be good enough to drive these right?

here is some review:

https://audio46.com/shop/hifiman-...eadphones/

The best DAP I tried is Hifiman R2R 2000. (The price is 'good' too). Anyway, you do need a DAP with some power. With a good dac amp, the sound will come alive.

Very Tempting. I'm googling reviews and going to grab a pair. Looks better than the old 560s.

Erm that's a link to the headphones again but I googled the things you mentioned and its a bit more wallet ouch than I was thinking. What about something like the Supermini or Megamini they do, have you tried them?

Loved my HE560 set but my sister took them so I hope the new gen is just as good or better! XP

FYi if you have prime amazon has these as noted in the op's post. However be sure to choose your buyer and you can potentially pay no tax. For whatever reason it chose a buy for me automatically that included tax.
