I have the Nano but modded with an easy to do headband mod that infinitely improves comfort and voarmaks memory foam velour pads that removes the brightness peak and touches nothing else. You end up with planars that sound SO good, like being wrapped in a velvet sound blanket with just detail and bass and more detail and soundstage and just all the things. Video of said mod and how it all looks up on my account for anyone interested, cheap too but is a bit of DIY so have an afternoon free to do it properly and it looks all OEM at the end. I genuinely think after the mod that the Nano ends up being end game for me and many others who experience them after the mod. Oh also, the stock hifiman pads are trash, plain and simple. When you hear and feel the voarmaks pads at under £20, it's night and day for comfort, quality and the mentioned improved sound. Cable I am using is the Linsoul 4.4 balanced. Much lighter than stock cable and a bit shorter which is nicer for desktop use.

I put the Voarmak hybrid velour pads in my Amazon save for later list a couple of weeks ago and then just forgot about them. They weren't a priority because I HATE fighting with the HiFiman pad clips. Other than that, the ONLY aspect of the Nano that ever bothers me at all is that treble peak near 7k. If the Voarmak velours tame that, then it'll definitely be worth the hassle.

I have the Arya Stealth, which I love. But what's surprising to me is how good the Sennheiser HD600 is. I constantly find myself using the HD600 over all of my other, more expensive headphones. And I think I only paid $299 for them on sale. It took a few dozen hours of burn-in before the treble opened up on them. And now they're literally perfect.

The HE6SE will only be worth buying if you have a small nuclear power plant of an amp to power them. Even then, they're not outright better than the Nano's...just different. They hit harder and have a more lush sound, and because of that, they're more fun with certain music. But the Nano's are much faster, and I also hear them as being a bit more detailed.

@@harackmw The HE-1000 series is stupid. The stealth and the SE was already giving stiff competition towards headphones like the Utopia's or the LCD-4. Now with the permanent price cut to that lineup , you would be hard pressed to find anything that is as technical at less than $2000 now. I personally run the HEK stealths with the A70 pro and the D70 pro octo. I could maybe get the Susvara's but I honestly don't see a good reason to go past these.

I don't understand how HIFIMAN can afford to do these price cuts, because surely few people ever bought it at $3500. Then again this is the same company that has the 400se, which can be found in Asia now for 50$.
