Could have done with a bit faster paced video.
How much better sounding are these compared to the edition XS. I assume that because of the giant price difference the HE6 V2s should sound better in most if not all measurable ways. Im asking because they’re currently on sale for $400 for an open box pair, and I’m really considering pulling the trigger. I already ordered a pair of Edition XS for $269 but they’re on back order so if they’re much better I would cancel that and go with this headphone instead.
@lost148 I haven't had a chance to finish my review of the Edition XS, but I will do a quick comparison for you tomorrow and let you know. $400 is a really good price for the HE6se, and I really wouldn't reccomend it over $600.
Also if im not trying to break the bank, what could you recommend to drive the HE6SE V2
@@MasterMarslanderI really appreciate that!!!!!
@@lost148 what do you currently have, and what are you willing to budget?
@@MasterMarslander Honestly I’m just starting getting into the audiophile hobby. I ordered a Topping DX-3 Pro to go with the Hifiman XS I ordered, which I assume will not be enough to drive these. I should be able to return it though. I don’t really want to spend more than $300 on an amp as I was only expecting to spend $500 for the DX3 Pro + Edition XS, and I’m not comfortable going way over that.
Helmholtz resonator
@@gtye0h 💯
Audio gets wonky at points because copywriter garbage.
Which headphone is better in your your opinion between the Hifiman R7DX, Hifiman dekoni cobalt, or these?
@reckulurn3038 I'd put it between the Cobalt and the R9, as the R7DX is really just a slightly less capable Cobalt. If you want big boomy bass, R9. If you warm and smooth with more controlled lowend, then probably the Cobalt.
What will you recommend for good bass without compromising quality sound. Ea500lm, aria 2, kz zar or 7hz legato ?
@@SiddharthVyas you thinking big crazy mid bass, or deep impactful sub bass?
MP145 100$ right in this moment on Ali. and MP143 is 99$ in Kickstarter right now. so which to choose?
@hellyeah_tv hmm. You'll have to consider what kind of sound you want, and how you feel about size and weight.
@@MasterMarslander I'm wearing fullsized Audeze day by day so I don't care about size or weigh)) I have thick and strong neck 😊 Only the best sound, only natural sounding headphones!)) 🎧
@@hellyeah_tv in that case, I'd probably go for the MP145.
I keep saying "XMAS drivers" in the review. They're XMEM drivers. Santa is not involved.
Bought them from Amazon this morning - xMEMS!
@@trellusg nice!
I love stickers!
None of these are "amplification solutions"; they are low power dac/amps with no analog inputs. Anyone who's into portable hifi probably has a high fidelity music source, like a DAP. Any current DAP will offer better Fidelity and much more power than these three examples. None of these offer an amplification solution for a DAP, they all amplify their own internal analog processing chips. That's not really what portable Hi-Fi is all about.
@@davidmillar2594 to each thier own, but I think that's grasping at straws a little.
Can you recommend a steak & wine to go with my 660s?
@nayaleezy top sirloin, grilled on a cedar plank, garnished with pepper and a dash of garlic salt, served with a glass of 2020 Frogs Leap Sauvignon Blanc, because we don't want to be too boujee.
You have said nothing concerning the architecture of these items ,what size drivers what's the material 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩💩💩💩
Possibly a dumb question- would these be appropriate to pair with a Dac to CD and vintage amp( pioneer, Sansui, marantz) ? Or, should they primarily be used with headphone dac/amp for digital ?
@djb5864 I don't see any reason they wouldn't work on a vintage system. I think it should do just fine.
@@MasterMarslanderi appreciate the response. I simply want to optimize the sound with the various types of equipment on hand . Thanks again
Truly some gorgeous iems! Providing modular filters to adjust an iem's sound is a pretty neat idea!
Some of the most stupid assholes talking like they where told to so.
Really enjoy seeing you have so much fun with this one. Also really cool that it comes with different filter modules. And of course saving the whales is always cool. Really love your reviews and how much care you take with them.
no more planar IEM's for me I just dislike them but EST drivers in my IEM's are very interesting, they pick up so much information in high frequency (sometimes its even distracting but with clean recording its just top class treble extension)
@@soulfulfool ooh. What EST are you driving?
@@MasterMarslander probably sonion EST drivers, its mest mk2 IEM
Very honest review, in every single point you made! Just for the information, a little bit downgrade and ridiculously cheaper are the KZ ZS 10proX, believe it or not.... 👍
i have sound blaster g6 and ill buy hd660s2 it worth to upgrade to this dac? for better high bass?
You'd get a very solid performance improvement across the board, more power, and definitely more bass with that Xbass button.
is this good for gym and running?
@dogukvn the ANC would do well in those environments. The only concern I'd have is how they will fit to your head shape. Some head shapes might fit loose, which wouldn't be ideal for running. I encourage purchasing them from Amazon so you can easily return them if the fit doesn't work for you.
@@MasterMarslander thank you soo much
I already see a way to turn this into wireless with this 180 cup
1000$ ???
The headband reminded me of Grados and a $1000 ?
When you don’t have major supply chains, and have to work in extremely small batches, things tend to cost more money to cover the costs of materials and maybe make a profit. DMS has been very transparent about everything and only has a profit of 4.68% off of the first production run which in materials, manufacturing and labor cost $200k
14:53 The Eris and the Omega are at different price points …should be interesting. For me to give them a push ..the Eris needs to dethrone my Sen’s 650’s abd given the Omega it needs to give my LCDX a run for its money.
GM ☕️💊🥓 The first run of Doug’s new headphones has been well received. Given their price point , I currently have the LCDX (2021 Creators Edition) and am very interested if they are a worthy addition to my headphone stable. 🤔🤔🤔🤔👍
Hello, Toronto! I heard the LCD-X for the first time the other day. They are FAR too heavy for me (I'm selling my LCD-2 tomorow afternoon, for that very reason). Reverend Dr. Thomas, The Vegan Vicar.
@@ReverendDr.Thomas ?? Too heavy ..I get …that …what did you think of the sound ?
@@carminedesanto6746, it was good - similar to my LCD-2. For closed-back, I'm planning to buy the Meze Liric tomorrow afternoon.
LCDs are pretty much across the board some pretty hefty boys!
@@MasterMarslander I saw your reply just as I am about to go get the Meze. 😺
How would you compare these to the Fidelio X2HR's?
@Battleguy02 Shp9500 is more open and more staging than the Fidelio, and definitely more comfortable. Fidelio has more resolution, more technical advantages, and has a much better build.
@@MasterMarslander Nice! Currently have the SHP9500's but now want something similar but with more bass. Then saw the Fidelio X2HR's are that, but still wanted to know more details. Thanks!
@Battleguy02 yeah man, I think you'll be happy!
Damnit man! Tell us how they sound...Lol
@@massivemikeh rest assured, the director's commentary compendium is in the works.
8:21 The first thing that hit me looking at this shot of the Omega is they remind me of the Wheels on my Hockey Roller Blades
I have unit 39. They are super fun you’re going to love them.
How do they compare with other headphones in your collection, at similar price range?
This video made me grin like a kid in a candy shop! Thanks dude happy listening! 😄

Douglas, please send your Omegas to David, The Honest Audiophile, and to Lachlan Fenner (Passion for Sound) in Melbourne. Reverend Dr. Thomas, The Vegan Vicar.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I like your video as being honest about reviewing headphones 👍🏻, May I know Dan Clark Ether CX and Aeon closed X (both are drop), which one has better value? Thanks
The Ether CX is the more technically precise of the two, but I think most people would prefer the Aeon Closed X, and it is a better value overall.
@@MasterMarslander thanks for quick reply, because there is a discount on ether cx now (900 to 699). I think you are right, most people would prefer Aeon closed X, and I will buy one too , have a good day 😎
They look horrible
To each their own. What don't you like about them?
@@RaiOshynnCat to me they just don't look good
@@moe5809 Why though? Or just posting a negative comment with no constructive criticism because it's the internet and who cares if anyone has a good conversation? Let me give an example: The particular share of yellow is a little bright for my taste, but the overall open design and has a neat style that I haven't seen anywhere else that appeals to me. I'm not a huge fan of Red either so maybe if there are more color choices or even a different chose of material I would find these more attractive. What headphones do you have at home?
@@RaiOshynnCat I currently have the Sundaras and the Neo classic. I don't like the back of the headphones. I would rather see a nice mesh cover not the driver's and a piece of plastic. The color is irrelevant. I just don't like that look
Agree the design is just not appealing at all
How much does this unit cost?
$999
Ok, I like the red but the yellow might be better. I'm Jealous. Hopefully my pair is on the way soon. Congrats !
Hoping I get my email to say they are available. I shouldn’t get these, but I’m a sucker for small/personal projects. They look really good and I’m sure the sound is up there too.
Well done sir
I am also curious if it can drive arya stealth
Great review! Quick questiong what is the output impedance?
@@Hugo-ou4ce Balanced 4.4mm ≤200Ω; Single-Ended RCA ≤100Ω
@@MasterMarslander I bought the IEM super mix 4 and they need an output impedance of less than 1 ohms, but I’m not sure what _< 100 ohms mean.
@Hugo-ou4ce I've used a number of IEMs on them without any complaints. I don't know the Super Mix 4, so it's possible it is a lot more sensitive than what I have on hand, but it can definitely handle subtle power needs.
