Test HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Full Size Reference Headphones.

HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Dynamic response is clear without ambiguity.

HiFiMAN HE-6 is a headphones that has a very low sensitivity to most that unit driver was developed using a new 'gold' as a conductor to be plastered on the 'membrane' instead of the original version with an aluminum coating. Highlights of Planar Magnetic is the moving mass to low mass, making a 'bandwidth' is very wide, especially in the high frequency signal response was immediate and has less inertia than piston-type.

Addition, the shifting of the membrane or diaphragm are consistent throughout the whole record came out, so there is less distortion of the waveform. The advantage of gold is that it can be coated onto the membrane is very thin. The gold is a metal which resists oxidation better than other metals, making it lighter than the original membrane. The new version of the HiFiMAN headphones have a frequency response of 10Hz-60kHz than ever in the HE-5LE to 8Hz-65kHz in the HiFiMAN HE-6, the distortion can be reduced to it. In addition, unit driver using expensive materials like gold to 'moving mass' has been aerated.

HiFiMAN HE-6 headphones also switch to the OCC, single-crystal copper instead of copper OFC, has designed the layout to maximize the intensity of the magnetic field that allows for greater sensitivity, have better performance. Including improved structural design to wear and use it better. HiFiMAN HE-6 has a frequency response 8Hz-65kHz Impedance 50 Ohm Sensitivity 83.5 dB efficiency, weight 502 grams.

Equipment provided in the package contains the Leather storage box, OCC (single crystal copper) 4pin XLR cable length 2 meters, OCC XLR to 6.5mm headphone plug adapter 1 meter length, Leather earpad 1 pair attached to the headphones, and the Velour earpad as a backup device.

HiFiMAN HE-6 has a neutral balance of the sound, Almost no weaknesses!

The HiFiMAN said amplifier to drive the HE-6 headphones should have a greater capacity like HiFiMAN EF5 amp with 2 watts power per side. Or 'HiFiMAN EF6' powerful drive up to 5 watts per side, impedance 50 Ohm. This testing headphones, I have to use three brand headphone amp including Burson Soloist with the power of 4 watts, 16 ohms. Schiit LYR version with 6 watts RMS per side at 32 ohms. And the Mjolnir, which is a true balance amp. Power up to 8 W, 32 ohm (5 W at 50 ohms). Soloist with LYR is considered a very good amp. And a very strong performance that can drive very low sensitivity headphones as HiFiMAN HE-6 have no doubt.

Amp Burson Soloist, when used at high gain levels. It can be driven out of the profile HE-6 levels of volume. It can have a wide range of music. But may not be suitable at the time of the input signal like the players from the iPod directly. Because of the expansion of the amplifier may be insufficient to drive HE-6 out well. If you play with the amp Soloist, source output should be out at least 2 V RMS, such as the DAC Ayre QB-9 is considered to be sufficient for the application. The both brand Schiit headphone amplifiers seem to have a more comfortable driving the HiFiMAN HE-6.

The HE-6 headphones cable were made ​​with a removable or replaceable, you can detachable or can be converted to new cable. I will say that at first I worried that this heavy headphones. I can wear it for a long time or not. I was surprised that it was more comfortable than expected, you can adjust the width of the head, adjustable headband to top it up against the head enough, has good weight distribution, it is hardly a problem at all. Try and feel firmer than Audeze LCD2 I've used.  

HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic offer good sound quality.

Who ever heard conventional dynamic headphones before, if you have to hear the good quality planar magnetic. We guarantee that you will be excited with dimension of sound airy and very comfortable headphones. I think the HE-6 is neutral balanced sound over headphones LCD2. I'm not trying to say that Audeze LCD2 sounds bad or not listening. If you choose this time, I think that HE-6 more interesting.

When we change the amp or the music indefinitely, this headphones will take you to visit in the world of music, which do not worry the sound of headphones will be. The frequency response is very wide and the large unit driver allows HE-6 is virtually no real weakness. It provides deep bass, clean sound. Mid-range and treble is vibrant transparent. The details are quite good, although the sound is very faint. And the sound is a beautiful, dynamic response clearly without ambiguity. This minute I saw that no one more interesting than 'HiFiMAN HE-6'
