I hear you might get a prize on the 10th.

7th? Yikes, that’s some rough luck. Hopefully it gets solved for ya!

I don’t have that many, I just have the HE 560 and recently got the HE6se and no issues so far

Hope you have some power for the HE-6se as they are more power hungry than my Abyss AB-1266’s.

I think I do? But I won’t know until I try them with some ridiculous speaker amp with 100w output lol
bbuky01 t1_ixb01sk wrote
What amp is that ? Looks like EL34 power tubes.
Gofa_Kirselph t1_ixbc4cm wrote
It’s the Elekit TU-8200DX and yeah, they’re vintage Matsushita tubes relabeled with US brands lol. The specs say 8wpc at 8ohms so I’m not sure if it’s enough. I will say that the HE6se punch hard, have a big soundstage, and they’re super smooth with plenty of headroom on that amp.

On the 2nd i'd ask a reimburstment. Go with a better brand.

For some reason I always forget about this as a possibility but I will ask them this time if I can just return for a refund.
clearkill46 OP t1_ixdfdzr wrote
Fair enough. I just can't find anything else with the same sound as these and I really love them.
Panchenima t1_ixdjfn5 wrote
On the same price range the AKG K240 MK II or Studio are a great option.
I have the MK II and they're great, supero responsive and natural. You can't go wrong there.

I have a few other sets I'm happy with, just really liked the sound of the 400se's. They agreed to refund me. I will say, their customer service is as good as their quality control is bad.

how tf do you go through that many drivers? do you just sit at your desk listening to atomic bomb test recordings at realistic volumes or something?
clearkill46 OP t1_ix9noid wrote
Every single replacement that hifiman has sent me (and they've all been brand-new units) has either awful channel imbalance or one of the drivers rattling like crazy. Now my 7th pair just started rattling loudly in the left ear and I've only used it about 3 times. There is no hair or anything causing the rattle except the driver itself is clearly defective.
