Top Comments
A very powerful headphone amplifier is pretty much necessary to get decent sound out of the he6sev2. Hifiman recommends a minimum of 2 watts per channel into 50 ohms, and many people who own these headphones recommend up to 5 watts into 50 ohms, which is an absolutely ludicrous amount of power. If you don't already have a very powerful desktop amp, don't even think about buying these.
In addition to the standard hifiman longevity/quality control concerns, the he6sev2 is notorious for the membrane magnets getting "stuck". While this can sometimes be temporarily fixed by physically removing the membrane from the magnets (such as by blowing on it with sufficient force), it's a known recurring issue.
Build quality of the he6sev2 is relatively similar to hifiman's low end headphones, it uses the same standard cheap headband as even the $109 he400se. The he6sev2 is also exceptionally heavy, at 470g (16.58 oz), and is generally considered an extremely uncomfortable headphone without headband mods.
The sound quality of the he6sev2 is renowned for being exceptional at a price below $500 (assuming it's driven by a sufficiently powerful amp), so these compromises would be justified if there weren't any viable alternatives.
However, the newer hifiman edition xs: have sound quality in what's generally considered a relatively similar tier (anecdotally slightly worse compared to a properly driven he6sev2), are lighter at 405g (14.28 oz) and are generally considered more comfortable (especially if you have a large head), are incredibly easy to drive in comparison (a powerful headphone amp is not necessary, and can even be driven with a decent quality integrated amp or dongle), and are substantially cheaper ($269 new, $215 refurbished).
If you already have a sufficiently powerful amplifier, don't mind modding the headband for comfort, and prefer the sound signature of the he6sev2, this is a good deal. If you don't fit all those criteria, I'd recommend purchasing the edition xs instead.

Das Unternehmen arbeitet äußerst ehrlich und hält seine Versprechen. Es lohnt sich immer, mit ihnen Geschäfte zu machen. Vielen Dank

good value. quality is fine. Haven't used yet but see no problems. Not sure how long it will last time will tell. Thanks to the workers of China and the PRC. Note Aliexpress - how about a BRICS based direct payment system bypassing the West and the US$.

Great value for money. Most orders arrive within three weeks. Good customer service. Been shopping with them for over two years without any problem.

Consistently high standards and very quick delivery. Huge choice, but you need to carefully read the adverts. The English can sometimes be confusing. On the very unusual occasion when there has been a problem, AliExpress has stepped in and solved it quickly and to my satisfaction

I have been buying from AliExpress for a few years and they keep getting better and better. It used to take months to get goods sent. Now is superb!! for fast delivery and quality items. I mean I ordered from China 29th June and all arrived 3rd July.!! Very happy to be able to on sell to customers ad vising that it will only take a week to arrive. There may be times a bit slower but all in all they are Brilliant!. I will be doing a lot more purchases. Highly recommend!!
