Uh oh. Hifiman and channel matching...Here is the response of Hifiman HE-6 by the way:
There is better channel matching but the HE-6 has that notch around 7 kHz which the Nan-6 remedies.

It's not bad. This is quite normal "imbalance" for FR measurments. It will not be very audible really, even if this FR is 100% accurate, I doubt that you would tell a difference in a listening test. Espeically without knowing about it beforehand. After seeing it on a graph, confirmation bias can happen.Uh oh. Hifiman and channel matching...
Where are you at with yours at the moment, you kept sending them back & getting replacements.....have they finally sent you one with perfect channel matching yet?Uh oh. Hifiman and channel matching...
Exactly my pointIt’s difficult to get excited about a knockoff at this price. Hard pass here.
As I see it, this is a knockoff of Susvara, not HE-6, so a fifth of the typical sale price seems quite reasonable. The FR certainly resembles Susvara more than anything.It’s difficult to get excited about a knockoff at this price. Hard pass here.
I will post an update in the HE6se thread soon, it hasn't been fully dealt with yetWhere are you at with yours at the moment, you kept sending them back & getting replacements.....have they finally sent you one with perfect channel matching yet?
I stopped taking those measurements as it is a bit of pain and I saw little value in them. In this case given the lack of proper company website/spec, I agree I should have taken it. I will see if I can do it later today.Hmm, no data on the weight of the headphones and the dimensions of the pads
While I hear your point, knock off in my view are something that are sold as the real thing but with much lower quality parts/performance. In other words, the buyer is fooled into thinking they are getting one thing but get another. This is not the case here. Performance is excellent and the headphone is sold with a different name/brand. I also have no personal knowledge of parts being used from another company. There is chatter about it online but I did not have the time or ability to verify them.In my opinion, I don't think it is a good think to encourage nockoffs by testing them in ASR.
This has borrowed parts from abyss, audeze, and a marketed tuning of hifiman !!
Interesting... I have experienced something similar, Susvara if pretty close to harman with flat bass yet I always feel like it's uneasy in the treble, tiny bit unpleasant timbre in 5-8khz range, yet at the same a little bit lacking in engagement.but using Harman EQ on the HE4XX just doesn't end up with much clarity even if tonality sounds right
I don't really recall seeing Electrostats being measured here on ASR? Are electrostats generally free of the High Q Fine Grass I was talking about above 1kHz?Interesting...

On the other hand I always find my estats to respond wonderfully to EQ
I think the overall theme of these reviews is they are done under the auspices of objective performance, and the end user has to decide. But I agree buying someone’s headphone that is a copypasta of others might not be too swift. That and the resemblance of the logo to NaN, which perhaps is fittingIn my opinion, I don't think it is a good think to encourage nockoffs by testing them in ASR.

Legit asian audio companies are very good and lauded especially in iems and gear, but and I don't think we should buy a 1k$ nockoff.
