HiFiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphones (Playback 37)

Head-Direct HiFiMAN HE-6 Headphones

 

The Head-Direct HiFiMAN HE-6 headphones provide a very interesting mix of qualities. Compared to the HD800s from Sennheiser these feature a better bass performance and can compete in terms of detail retrieval. Interestingly enough Head-Direct have yet...

Performance across the line, Comfortable, Excellent build quality, Price reasonable for a set of extreme high-end headphones, Excellent cable system, Old fashioned yet stylish look

Expensive, Requires a potent amplifier to sound their best, Looks might not appeal to all, Not portable, Ear cups are fingerprint magnets

Not really headphones but as mentioned, head speakers

Outstanding sound at a price that is very attractive in the realm of high end headphones

Requires a very powerful partnering amp to get the best out of them
