How much are you likely to pay for headphones in the near future?

[Shrek]

ordered £389. 😅

I had these nice customised cables made for my Hifiman's, the Amphenol and Neutrik plugs are quality.
Beautifully crafted. The choice of colours compliment my Hifiman He1000V2 headphone. The Mogami Neglex Quad based cables provide a nice clean sound.





Excuse the coffee smudge on the mat, I have wiped it! 🙂

The price isn't bad for customised cables, check the link below if you're thinking of blinging your headphones.

All my headphones have a 2.5 metre cable, except for the Grado's, which I've got a Grado extension cable for. You'll be fine 👍

My bad, the Hifiman store is usually advertised on Amazon but I can't see the Hexi's either.
You can get it directly from Hifiman store.
It's open box. Audio Affairs where I got mine, same price.

Note the V2s are the Stealths, Hifiman didn't want to change description on Amazon because it would mean, resetting the excellent reviews and starting again from scratch, hence why on Amazon it's called the He1000 (V2) and on their website they're called Stealths, same thing. 🙂

Yes, same 🙂
I think the Hexi's (He1000's) are currently version 3, any version V2 onwards are Stealth. SE's Special Edition have improved tuning and cost a little more.

You also have the Unveiled, these have naked drivers (exposed planars, supplied with magnetic protection caps, you take off when listening to music), these are the best sounding He1000 but crazy expensive.

Audio Affairs appear to have increased the price on the open boxes. I am most delighted with their excellent customer service. I ordered open box but the last one was sold to another customer.

They said if I'm happy to wait two weeks for the next shipment, they give me an unopened box for no extra cost..........F'"""...k Yeah! 🙂

I had it happen at Audio-t. They said I could only have a discount on the open box version, so they opened the box in front of me. Something to do with the manufacturer.

Great service.
