Thanks for making this, dude. I've been keeping a close eye on people's opinion of this headphone and I don't see quite enough reviews of it on youtube for me to warrant making the purchase. I might add this to the wishlist. RIght now I'm waiting for my ZMF Verite closed to arrive - and considering the price of that headphone alone - I should probly wait a long while before expanding the collection once more. Keep up the good work.

Great review. Glad you went out there and shared your appreciation for treble. I’m a fellow audiophile with a similar appreciation for treble and I have to say that I think some of the most appreciated/highly rated headphones of the rank and file KZbin audiophile reviewers sound terrible. Your review here is spot on with my view and experience of these headphones. I think they are phenomenal. My listening is equally split between these (use at work) and Meze Elites (use at home). I’ll make sure to check out your other reviews. Two pairs of amazing headphones isn’t enough :)

I bought a HEKse brand new last summer. It lasted about 10 weeks before the right driver failed. Loved it while it lasted, especially for the quality of the available bass and, of course, the refined detail. I found the deep sub bass to be really good and clean but the overall bass to be polite on some tracks.

I have the HEKSE and LCD 4 and agree with the points you have raised. Resolution, imaging, soundstage and comfort are all incredible but it is a thinner sounding signature. I prefer the LCD 4 as it plays nicer with lower quality recordings and it has that thick sound signature that I prefer but I still enjoy the HEKSE for the technical performance and gaming.

I remember trying various Hifiman headphones at London Can Jam last year - Susvara was too boring for me (also in the treble), Arya had bright treble which was annoying because it lacked what I'd perceive as resolution, and HE1000se also has bright treble but the big jump in resolution immediate changed my perception of it from "annoying" to "there's so much nuance happening up there". I think that the Utopia and Susvara sound more "correct", i.e. err on the side of caution, so to speak, but the HEKse's airiness is just beautiful.

HEK Stealth is quite different, I would say, and to some will be a better headphone (even though I have zero doubt that the HEKse is technically superior). It's got an HD800-like soundstage (making HEKse sound more intimate by comparison), more pronounced bass, more Harman-compliant tuning. To my ears, the Stealth allows you to have a speaker-like experience (like you're in one of the first few rows of a live event) whereas the HEKse puts you right in the middle of the recording.

The wooden lining is most likely real, particularly evident from the grain and voids. There were also some threads (KZbin comments don't like links) sharing photos of at least the original HE1000 revealing that that wood isn't even just a veneer, or is at least a veneer on top of actually structural laminated wood. Anyways, having acquired the HE1000se mainly as a comfort counterpart to a free-field EQed and binaural head-tracked Meze Elite with hybrid pads hopefully with lower distortion than my Arya Stealth, per my in-ear mic measurements in page 320 of the Head-fi HE1000se thread and on, I've found that the only actual things going for the HE1000se are a lighter clamping force, better driver matching and hence imaging coherence, and a more controlled frequency response in the upper midrange. Distortion performance (important to me for EQ or assessing objective gains) looked better for one channel, but on checking my measurements later, I realized that my HE1000se's left channel's distortion performance was actually very similar to my Arya Stealth's right channel and vice versa, so there isn't actually any reliable gain for that measure. Their impulse and step responses are similarly incisive, transient quality also being subjectively very similar in listening comparisons particularly with an isolated single-sample impulse. I personally have not heard any actual appreciable differences or improvements over the Arya Stealth, mind the bass quantity is measurably nigh identical, at least on my head. Maybe a dB or few of a deeper "HiFiMan dip" causes some people to perceive the HE1000se as "wider". Sound sources in my reference tracks were positioned identically, and for large tuttis, when volume-matched, neither sounded bigger or wider. Likewise, the HE1000se for the same volume setting will play up to 2 dB louder than the Arya Stealth, which could influence A/Bing results. Otherwise, absolutely, the HE1000se is HiFiMan's most refined planar magnetic and is fantastic at this price point, probably even objectively outperforming the Susvara, but not outperforming the Arya Stealth by much. Meanwhile, I have had the misfortune of receiving a replacement for a damaged unit (pesky pad swapping process...) which unfortunately had distortion measurements suggesting diaphragm installation defects despite nothing other than potentially normal wrinkles being visible on the diaphragms; we'll see how the warranty-covered replacement for _that_ goes. As for ever hearing one thing on one headphone that you couldn't hear or was not as accentuated on another, I'd vie that it is almost always explainable by an in-ear microphone frequency response measurement (test heads may not match your own ears) showing the headphone as boosting the frequency bands those sounds lie within relative to the headphone being compared to. EQ guided either by close sine sweep volume matching or in-ear microphone measurements will you you how two headphones can be made to sound tonally identical, only noticeably differing in comfort, ear space, and maybe transient quality at the extremes.

Nice to hear that Sony DAP is good match for HEKSE will give it a try I was considering Cayin so will get more feedback. But nevertheless HEKSE sound awesome out of my Questyle M15 dongle as well.

I have the Utopia 2022, Ananda, HE1000SE and Susvara in case anyone needs help. The Ananda has peakier highs sometimes. The HE1000SE is basically perfect for those who like treble clarity and air (ie. I know exactly what Danny Carey from Tool's symbols and Adam Jones' guitar riffs sound like in real life and have an electric guitar and drums at home). The susvara has what I would sibjectively call 2% better imaging (a perfectly spherical circle around you) and about 5%better depth with about 2% less bass with a medium powered amp (Dave+A90). The utopias have way less bass than I though but similar to the susvaras, the most perfect imaging I have ever heard with sounds swirling around you and a bit more dynamic air push. If I had to choose I would choose the HE1000SE used for bang for buck

@@brothatwasepic A while back I purchased HE1000V2. At first, I thought it had great tuning, and it does. Nothing wrong with tonality but it was to smooth and for me (border line bland). But I’m someone who loves air frequencies so that’s probably why I didn’t care for it because it was too warm (for me anyways). I guess I was underwhelmed. I see the SE takes a way different approach, so I’m probably going to pull the trigger. I didn’t give it a fair chance though because I didn’t keep it long enough. It was an extremely well tuned headphone, just didn’t give enough details (imo coming from the headphones we have).

I don’t find this headphone more resolving than the new Utopia, but I find them comparable. Their tunings are pretty different, so when I switch back and forth, I get wowed by both of them. But when I switch to my LCD-5s, the resolution jumps up compared to both of them. This is my first Hifiman headphone I’ve liked. I found the Arya Stealth a little too bright sometimes, but this one is fine as long as I don’t listen too loud. The main way i’ve been using it is watching films, because the extra treble helps with low level dialog. I bought it on a whim, and I’m happy with my purchase.

Is there a amp that can thicken up the low end, from your experience? What I mean by that is that although the way I did eq work on the sub-bass, it sounds great and clean, but lacks some punch and authority, in relation to the other frequencies. The sub-bass still sounds "thin" to me, even after eq. I run the 1000SE's on a RME ADI-2 Pro and although I have nailed my overall EQ settings to my liking, there is some sub-iness that is missing, vs. say a dynamic headphone. I'm listening to some old-school Sony XB700's right now and there seems to be so much more presence of the sub-bass, but they are closed back and dynamic drivers. Is it even possible on these, from your experience, to get that big, floating subiness to happen, where is cushions all the other frequencies or am I just dreaming when it comes to that side of the frequency spectrum?

Ananda Nano is completely different. I use both for mixing for the sole purpose that they both sound very different. HE1000SE is very relaxed with an expansive sound stage. Best sound stage I've heard in headphones but they have a loose bottom end and aren't great for judging slam or punch. Ananda nano on the other hand has a super fast decay time and are one of the most detailed headphones I've heard for transients and upfront detail. Bass response is super tight but lacks the soundstage of HE1000SE. The transient detail and slam of the nano makes it more difficult to place instruments in comparison. You have to fight with panning and placement mixing on nano Mix with the 2 and alternate, you have the absolute best of both worlds

I think the Aryas as far more comfortable than the HE1000SE due to the clamping force being too weak, for my head at least..

Regarding punch, my opinion is that you haven’t found the unicorn amp for this. After hearing it with the Riviera AIC-10 Bal, Susvara punches like Focal Utopia in that regard, more than HE1000SE could ever scale

Well I have tried it with the AIC and far punchier speaker amps but no the Susvara doesn’t have nearly the same level of “slam” as the Utopia. Sorry.

Super bright. Easily the brightest headphone that HiFiMan makes. I personally vastly prefer the HE1000V2. HE1000SE out resolves it by a bit but the sacrifice to the timbre and sibilance on the SE is a deal breaker. Great review and glad that you’re enjoying them. I agree that they could be someone’s end game if they’re looking for a very bright experience.

Highly disagree about this comment .. I’ve owned both and he1000se is more extended in treble but by far smoother than the V2 with no hot treble spikes where the V2 can be sibilant with S and T sounds he1000se has beautiful timbre and resolution is on another level..yes it has lots of treble but it’s the smoothest I’ve heard, never sharp. V2 is warmer in the midrange but has hot treble spikes

@@theodorezurla496 We have wildly different experiences. Not sure if that’s unit variance or something totally different. The HE1000V2 Stealth can come across sibilant but the HE1000V2 is known for its superior timbre and less offensive brightness. Maybe you auditioned the HE1000V2 Stealth and not the original? On the brightness scale HiFiMan ranks like this: HE1000SE Arya Organic HE1000V2 Stealth Arya V1 Arya Stealth HE1000V2

@@kevintj604 I have owned a V2 and SE for a very long time .. the V2 is very warm in the midrange but with that comes a hot treble spike with S or T sounds while the SE is more consistent and smooth up top.. there is different ways treble is executed and the SE has a far better way of presenting itself than the V2.. never owned the V2 stealth edition

@@theodorezurla496 I think we just simply disagree here. I’ve owned the HE1000SE, HE1000V2 Stealth and currently own the HE1000V2 and I A/B’d with multiple source pairings for a couple weeks to come to my conclusion. I stand by my statement. HE1000SE is the brightest headphone that HiFiMan makes. Not like this really matters in this context but this is also noticeable in the FR graphs as well.

@@kevintj604 there is a very big difference between more extended treble (SE) and hot treble spikes(V2) .. a headphone with less treble can have a more spikey treble with S and T sounds and this is a great example

Most resolving in the world from someone hating elite but shamelessly taking the expert role to BS over pictures lol with entry under mid range toys and self titiled amplifying expert lol. You experience is only entry level and the most noisy show in the world, with no highness or honour whatsoever
