HE1000se

Excellent topic for discussion! Your note about sound separation being key was spot on. My setup is a bit on the deep end but works beautifully: Soundblaster GC7 as my DAC/AMP - it’s a very good DAC that’s built for 7.1 Virtualization and does it very well. It also comes with a bunch of EQs specific

Hifiman's Susvara. I wasn't expecting that gentle warm touch, I was familiar with many other Hifiman products and I thought I was about to experience a step up in staging and details and technicalities. It blew me away because I couldn't stop focusing on individual sounds, I wasn't even paying atten

Having personally tested/owned most of the stuff, this list makes no sense, as it should be since this models cannot experience them. HE1000SE are my top experience & recommendation overall among the listed ones, while HD800S are mediocre for a lot of purposes and the best in staging specifically. H

At 25mm, my Hifiman HE1000se can still easily accommodate my ears, with plugs still in, but those headphones are huge (and cost $$$$). For most other headphones, I just take out my jewelry until I'm done.

I know your budget was more endgame, but I'm curious if you ever tried the HD490 Pros? HE1000SE are on my wish list but hard for me to justify, especially the way HiFiMan routinely drops their prices in half. If it ever plummets to under $1k, I'll certainly jump on it. What are you thoughts on them

I’ve also had the HE1000se. They are great for gaming, but I didn’t like them that much for music (too clinical). I like the HE1000 Stealth much more. The HE1000se are too expensive for only gaming. That’s why I looking at the Arya’s which are for sale with extra discount in the Hifiman Shop. I also

Mostly both. Once you go egg shape it is hard to go back but yes I got good deals as well. Edition XV I got for 340$ landed on release. MSRP 400$+tax+ship. Arya Stealth I bought for 498$ landed. MSRP 600$+tax+ship. HE1000 Stealth was 775$ landed. MSRP 949$+tax+ship. Arya Unveiled that comes today (o

Hifiman HE1000se Good lord man, spendy headphones. Let us know what you think! (I use the Sundara closed-backs for my music, love them, have HE400se for my late-night movies/TV and I hate them)
