The poor driver matching and crappy headband are 2 big negatives for this headphone that don't seem to be an issue on the Ananda or Arya. These are also one of the hardest headphones to drive but you can get by with something like THX 887 or Magnius out of the balanced XLR and these do come with a balanced cable.
Also just a FYI there's a HE6 (discontinued), HE6SE v1, and HE6SE v2 (Adorama exclusive). I don't know why they came up with such a crappy naming scheme. Resolve has a review of all 3 if you want more info:

That said, to sound their best these need a really powerful amp.
If you want to really enjoy your music and environmental noise is not an option then Open headphones like these are definitely the way to go.
Most of us stream music and movies and are fine with out speakers. There's enough headphones that are easy to drive that sound great.
You have to ask yourself if it's really worth spending thousands of $$$ to get that extra 5-10%.
Plus know your ears. Lots of our ears are already shot. Can't hear adequate bass or treble. So any device you use has to be EQ'd to satisfy your "broken" ears. And there goes the "audiophileness" since NOW the music is "colored".
Only thing that I have noticed is that the boxing is different, its brown boxing with a label, where as original boxing is black all around. Just wondering if anyone knows why this is?
Edit: I guess maybe its because this is the V2, does anyone know the difference?

If you have to buy a new amp to power these correctly then don't do it. Buy easier to drive cans with a budget that includes what an additional amp would have added.

These need a ton of power. Be sure to have a powerful amp to drive these. With SA-1 at stock tuning, these sounded fairly decent and easily a step up from Sundaras. I reckon an even more powerful amp would make them really sing. If you got the amp part sorted out, I'd think you're getting a lot of bang for your buck.
QC and build quality was lacking. One pad was fine, but the other had poor stitching that made me think it wouldn't last very long. Pads could've been cause of channel imbalance.
These aren't very comfortable. Very heavy causing both hotspots on the top of my head and causing my ears to get sore. Sundaras were more comfortable, and I personally do not consider Sundaras to be very comfortable.
