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.

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

Hey man! We had a headphone meetup yesterday, so I had the pleasure to try the HE1000 stealth and the he1000se. One thing is certain. The HE1000 models are more balanced tonally, while the arya is more V-shaped character. The ceiling raises as you go up in price, but on a midrange system (DAC+AMP in

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

on aliexpress, the ka15 is already lower than 100 usd (plus you can use coupons), and the ka17 is $133 minus whatever coupons and coins you can use. balanced is useless unless your cables are many tens of meters long. all it does is allow dacs/amps wired for balanced to send more volume. you wont he

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

I bought my once a year big spoil myself thing a week ago... a Hifiman He1000se... it's pricey, but worth it to me.
