Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm

A breakthrough core technology developed by HIFIMAN and first of its kind in headphone application. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging yet the successful incorporation of this film as the HE1000se’s planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.

Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of stealth magnet of HE1000se enables the waves to pass through the magnet without generating interference.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnets

The advanced magnet design used on the HE1000se, aims to be acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence which degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The result is reduced distortion, yielding a purer, more harmonious sound that is audibly so.


Asymmetrical Ear Cups Follows the natural shape of the human ear.	Sturdy 3.5mm User-replaceable Connector Design Allows easy cable swapping, giving both maximum durability and enhanced customizability.	The Metal Structure Craftsmanship Created via CNC milling and hand polishing. To meet the critical standard set out by HIFIMAN, the surface finish is meticulously applied by skilled HIFIMAN craftsmen. With its bold design, exceptional audio quality and exquisite craftsmanship, the HE1000se is a prestige headphone that redefines the audio landscape.

Cables

The HE1000se package includes three cables with three different jacks: 3.5mm, 6.3mm, and XLR.

Magnificent High-end Headphones!

I purchased these from Bloom Audio's Stephen Kostas, shortly before the latest price drop. Fortunately, however, I still managed to get a good deal! Efgaristau, Steve!

There is a multitude of reviews on the HE1000se (or "HEKSE", as they are commonly known) online for you to read or to watch in video format - most of which are by reviewers far more competent than I, so this will be extremely concise.

Firstly, I own several headphones in the sub-thousand-dollar range, and so, I will compare them briefly.
The main difference between these headphones and say, the HiFiMan Edition XS for example, is the enormous soundstage of the HEKSE.
The second most noticeable difference would probably be cleaner bass region of the HEKSE, which makes them absolutely perfect for funky electric bass recordings, such as disco (Barry Gibb needs these!).

So, I would posit that these are purely for those audiophiles that have BOTH the desire to gain a greater soundstage and detail, and the bank balance to match.

Taken by surprise, the Hifiman HE1000SE

This was not the plan. To buy a headphone set at $1999.00 was never going to happen. However, I did want to see what all the hype was on the Hifiman HE1000se. The “S” in the model # is totally accurate.
I have enjoyed high end speakers starting back in the 70’s. Through the years I noticed the high end market for Cans but smugly dismissed them.
PT Barnum quoted as saying “A sucker is born every minute”.
Simply, … I WAS WRONG!!!
I just can’t return these. ENJOY!!!
