These need a solid amp to get the best out of them. These also have the latest headband, which is not only much softer, more comfy but does not rely on rubber tension for clamping power, so it should be much more reliable.
It also comes in a new color and box is marked Adorama exclusive

I did. I bought HE6 and my friend loaned me LCD4 along with Chord Dave amp(that how he is insane). My headphone amp is Monolith platinum driving all my power hungry cans. My music amp is Yamaha A-S1200. I spend almost month playing with them and than same did my friend as he was interested in HE6 himself.
Bottom line i sold HE6 after all without any regret.
HE6 is very good sounding cans when driven properly, but they no way in same league as LCD4. Sorry, it is what it is. For that price it's definitely good buy if you already own good amp. Otherwise it will open gate for more spending in order to let the sounds right.

Thanks for the info. Enjoy your cans!
I have the HE-400 and the LCD 2. Not the same as these, but I can say the LCD2 are better. If you got to spend 700, I would go with Audeze first. Schiit Magni and Modi stack, is a great and affordable amp DAC combo.
Power Output (headphone output; direct drive mode)
(requires internal jumper; USE WITH CAUTION):
8 Ohms: 50 watts / channel
33 Ohms: 12 watts / channel
47 Ohms: 8.5 watts / channel
150 Ohms: 2.6 watts / channel
300 Ohms: 1.3 watts / channel
600 Ohms: 0.6 watts / channel
Well, do you connect headphones to the speaker output of the amp?
I do with my se v1 to my onkyo m504 using homemade speaker taps.
With the basx you don't have to since you can open it up and set the jumper on the headphone jack to get full power.
I wonder if that is the case with these, if so I'm not interested.
E: Looks like they are replaceable with a new set costing $50 which is not bad at all.

how did you find such nice deal?
just like old time K1000
On topic: sundara is hifiman's winner, if I'd go audeze/focal if I were looking to spend more
Depends on how loud you listen. My schiit jot is close to the 789 in terms of power and it feels a bit starved for power...
