🔶 Hifiman HE6SE

yeah spending 1500 dollars on 100 watts into 8 ohms to drive 50 ohm headphones isnt than like less than 5 watts?

The kst-100 also has loads more current on tap and a much beefier power supply, it continually doubles as you go down on the krell down to like 2 ohms (400w at 2 ohms and 800 into 1 iirc?), generally you get much more control overall. Also from a sound quality perspective, the krell is going to be a massive step over like a jot2/a90/fa10 or other mid tier headphone amps imo (for the he6)

theres a used pair on the adorama link with the right side not working. if anyone knows what they’re doing and wants to most likely just do a 5 minute solder job and have a pair of these for $300. if the solder job doesn’t work you could always just return them to adorama.

Anyone know how to fix the connector on the headphone it got loose and if I try to plug a cable into it it just gets lodged out of place

What did you use to stick the polyester sheet to the headphone

I didn’t use any adhesives to stick the polyester to the grills. I just put the polyester over the grips and the plastic ring on the cup holds it in place.

look at the other side, i believe you will see a very thin and tiny little ring that threads around the connector. somehow that must have loosened and fallen off. never seen another one that looks like it though. i am sure it will be hard to replace.

I think it might be this Plastic piece that broke ?!? Or it’s glued I can’t tell.

Mine have a locking ring.

Yes mine do too those are screwed in from what it appears. I was wondering if I put loctite it’ll fix it, but I’ve never used loctite so idk…

Did it come off w/ the locking ring and all? If yes the base broke off and that will need some crazy glue. Blue loctite would help to keep the locking ring in place if that is all that is needed

Edit: Mine may be different though. They are vs1 headset with vs2 drivers at this point. Last time they were fixed they told me they were out of vs1 drivers and replacing with the new ones…

it looks like it’s suppose to be screwed in but it just kinda comes out on its own, I was wondering if just placing it back in with some loctite or some sort of adhesive is best ? that locking ring stays in place to answer ur question.

Upon closest inspection I can do of your picture it seems that a bit of adhesive (ie crazy or gorilla glue) may be what is actually holding yours in place as opposed to the locking ring. Maybe i’m wrong doing best w/ info and pics. Good luck, a bit of glue on the cube and locktite on the ring may be just what you need. allow time for the glue to cure before you plug them back in.

yeah just gorilla super glue that and its not going anywhere. it shoudl be screwed but i think the part that came off does not screw its the other piece that would rotate to screw that on. i have no idea how that would unscrew so maybe it just stripped or something. i wouldnt worry about it but its up to you for refund or warranty.

This here sure looks like glue (1).

Those “panel mount” jacks usually have a nut to screw them in place and provide mechanical stability. In your case, the nut is still there in the hole (2).

Maybe try pushing the connector back through the hole (should pop the nut right out there) and then screw the nut back in place.
Usually, there are two slits in the nuts to make turning them easier. A small screwdriver in one of the two is enough.

lol thank you for the edit hehe, yes thats what I thought it was too or a plastic piece… but I didn’t find any debris so I was like this has to be glue… lol, I did notice a flathead should fit that 2nd picture (i noticed it on my headphone) but when you have the connector pushed in the hole it protruds so I was like I can’t really screw this in I’ll attempt it though…

I ended up putting a small amount of krazy glue around the plastic part instead of inside. working quite well for now :wink:

Haha, yeah. They made some pretty sweet amps. Looking forward to it, and I’ll definitely post impressions.

I think it’s actually 16 watts into 50 ohms.

Yes that would be correct
