I picked these up a while ago to add them to my collection (40+ headphones ATM) since I was curious how they compared to other HE-series 'phones and they are killer for the price. Best headphone I have heard under $300. Period. Not sure why they don't get more attention.

Detailed, great bass slam, respond well to pad rolling and EQ, all while being light on the noggin. They also probably have the best looking cup finish of any Hifiman, IMO (although it's a fingerprint magnet). They aren't exactly easy to drive, though, so you do need an amp for them but nothing crazy.

These are open back for sure. I have the original v1 and it is fantastic!

iconian has contacts here and other retailers, and strikes deals that only show up when you go through the SD link. Better for all of us here on SD.

Would these be any good for gaming as a second use case? I have a decent amplifier to drive them.

I'm assuming that this is not a loss leader. That they're still making money at 1/3 if their normal price. They must a HUGE markup.

Because people that live in a the past constantly bring up quality control, when it was an issue with the original yolks on the the V1 and V1.5 (wood cups).

It's been 4 years since then and idiots still can't fathom its no loner 2018.

No wireless headphone will really get close to these.

The Adorama MSRP shouldn't be taken seriously, no one in their right mind buys these for the "normal" price, they're basically always on sale.
