Better than Edition XS?

I have tried almost all Hifiman up to Susvara Unveiled. I am treble sensitive so for me personally the ones that I would consider are: Edition XV (might feel veiled after Edition XS so can safely skip - I own it as I enjoy it for casual listening) Arya Stealth (this is the one I own and love) Arya U

Which specific model of Arya or HE1000 should I go for?

That Arya stealth is way overpriced, they go for around 600 new Arya organic same, around 900 new He1000 stealth should be around 1200 or below He1000se is actually priced okay, can probably find cheaper though No idea about unveiled but they’re newer models so I’d assume they would be difficult to

Proper Sound for real intense listening (like I want it, like I need it!)…

Ein Kumpel hatte auch die Eahl zwischen Stax und Hifiman, der hat den Hifiman HE1000. Der ist echt gut, aber auch zu soft für meinen Geschmack. Die meisten Kopfhörer sind ja eher Ohrenschmeichler. Mir fehlt da so der letzte Kick. Hab schon einige durchprobiert. Ab ner gewissen Preisklasse fängts auc

Noob preparing to take the plunge...

I got the Jotunheim 3 with Mesh DAC recently and use it with my Hifiman He1000se. It's genuinely mind-blowing. Only this amp has really shown how detailed, holographic, deep, and wide the sound of those Hifimans can be. Cymbals in particular are a treat. Some of the busiest music I have that used to

Which headphones should I choose next?

I mean, if truly unlimited budget then Susvara x2 (2nd one for me, to make sure they are actually good and you're not only hearing things, y'know) with great amp. If not the Sussy then HE1000se is 2nd greatest I suppose. Again, you can get 2 pieces, that should come out even cheaper than 1 Susvara.

Unpopular opinion. I've tried almost all the new Hifiman models

Okay, so I also listened to several interesting HiFiMAN models: XV, Nano, HE1000se, Ananda U, Arya U, and Sundara. I have to say that everyone has their own taste in music, and it’s important for me to emphasize that. The most important thing is to go and listen for yourself. I owned the Nano for a

Lyr 5 or Jotunheim 3?

The headphone amps I had before the Jotunheim 3 were: iFi Zen Can, iFi xDSD Gryphon, the Schiit Vali 3, and recently the Fiio K13 R2R. I thought the J3 would be a modest upgrade to the Zen Can. Wrong. The Jotunheim 3 is blowing my mind, especially with the Hifiman HE1000se. The Vali 3 taught me that

Looking to upgrade from hifiman sundara

I was in exactly your situation a few months ago. I was using the Sundara, which I really liked, and I upgraded to the Ananda Nano.I have to say the upgrade was amazing — with EQ they are perfect. The detail, the tonality, the tight bass — everything was a huge step up from the Sundara. After about

Magnificent!

They're warmer and more relaxed than the HE1000se or HE6se v2. They seem more like HiFiMan's impersonation of an Audeze but without the heavy leaning towards bass. It's uncomfortably close to my LCD-2c, which has double the MSRP. XV can't match the strong bass of the Audeze, which tends to be one of

Hifiman HE1000SE / HE1000 Stealth with Jotunheim 2 & Mimir

Not my words, but a really great explanation I found I would like to share: “I purchased the Hifiman HE1000SE and the HE1000v2 Stealth at the same time two months ago. I auditioned them side by side daily for two weeks before deciding to return one pair. I was honestly at a stalemate for quite some
