Edwood Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 14 months? Most likely old ones. Try the HE-560 pads obthe HE-6. Quote
Leonardo Drummond Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I recently got some J$ pads for my HE500s and liked them very much! Edit: a picture! Edited March 29, 2014 by Leonardo Drummond Quote
Riotvan Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I really liked the jerg pads, was a bit of a chore to make but well worth it imo. Quote
Edwood Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Yeah, the new pads are based on jerg's design. Definitely getting them for my HE-6. I'd actually love the new headband for my HE-6 as well, haha. Quote
jpelg Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I wonder if HiFiMAN is likely to update the HE-6 (call it the HE-6B, or something) by changing over to the new headband and pads, and have the best of both worlds in their flagship? Or are the older drivers too heavy for the newest headband's design? Quote

Would indeed be nice to have that headband upgrade option for older models, in fact i might even start using my HE500 again. Quote
Edwood Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 I'll report back on the dust situation. Builds up fast at my place. Quote

Or are the older drivers too heavy for the newest headband's design? The strategy seems pretty thought out. HE-560 is a step up successor to the HE-500. But there's still room for an HE-670 or something named like that. Given that Fang redesigned the driver completely for the HE-560, I'm sure there will be something similar for the HE-6's successor. But yeah, I'd like to swap out the headband of the HE-6 with the HE-560's headband. Quote

complin Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Worrying quote from recent 6Moons review On May 9th I got a surprise email from Peter Hoagland, Fang's PR man. "As hard as this may be to believe, Fang has identified two critical design changes he needs to make to the HE-560 so we need to bring it back and ask you to wait for its replacement before you write about it. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience. My colleague in the U.S. Summer Yin will be in contact with a prepaid return shipping label. Then one of us will let you know when you can expect the replacement." http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/hifiman/2.html The 560 seems to have been withdrawn from sale too as its dissapeared off both the US and HFMDirect web sites?

spritzer Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 Yay for selling half finished garbage. Just wait for the overpriced piece of shit they have in store for the electrostatics. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard about it and they might even beat Woo and RSA for worst ever electrostatic amp. Quote
Hopstretch Posted May 31, 2014 Report Posted May 31, 2014 ... half finished garbage. That's a "fast-feedback iterative design process", if you don't mind. 1 Quote

I've yet to see a single Hifiman headphone that stays in the market without a change. Or simply stays long enough Are they kidding us or what? Quote

Riotvan Posted June 1, 2014 Report Posted June 1, 2014 Look at software develpment, most of it has the user beta testing. Within some years i bet allot of people will have 3d printers in one form or another. And you can either make your own updated parts for free or more likely you pay to download the schematic so you can stay current. Subscription headphones anyone? Quote
