Harrrrrrrr harrrrrr
The THX 887 from Monoprice was on sale recently for $170 (after coupon code) and that's about as cheap as you can get and have enough power (out of balanced XLR) unless you buy used. Lots of people who upgrade their gear sell off their old stuff at a good price.
The price on these just keeps getting better. They do have issues with driver matching though so something to be aware of.
No, (at least I hope not), a lot of the Adorama exclusives put the MSRP at some insane price so it looks like you're getting some amazing deal.
Historically a normal "sale" price would be 7-800
No you would be better off with sundaras at that power level
I have both and without eq the sundaras are better. With EQ The HE6 is better but after having to upgrade to A90 I don't think it was worth it all costs considered Vs something like jds stack with sundaras

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.
