HiFiMAN HE6se Full-Size Over Ear Planar Magnetic Audiophile Adjustable Headphones V2

Product Information

HiFiMAN HE6SE v2 vs HiFiMAN Ananda: although the Ananda keep the same tuning philosophy as the HE6SE v2, they’re quite different. While the HEXV2 sounds much more spacious and softer, the HE6SE is more focused and has more bass impact. Model One was not designed as a studio headphone, and it has a larger soundstage that feels more holographic, with a sweeter midrange, and a more musical sound, especially after the setup warms up, which can take a few hours, but HE6SE still holds the key if you're looking for a sparkly and analytic sound. These are my opinions, I respect if you feel differently, and maybe the measurements will asist you with that. Below the funny lyrics and showmanship of JB and KG you will find great craftsmanship that might get overshadowed by these.

Such analysis I will leave to the likes of those that have invested the time and money into doing them, at least for now. g. The Battle from the Master and Commander soundtrack), as the sound is so sudden and impactful that it feels too sudden and impactful. The HE6SE v2 weigh in at 510 g, which is not negligible, but HiFiMAN chose a headband that is not suited for this kind of weight.

The he6 is better than expected but a little more clamp force would help for better overall comfort and stability. As it’s supposed to happen, the open-back HiFiMAN HE6se v2 offer no isolation whatsoever from the outside world, nor do they do anything to stop music from going out. Definitely less spacious than Audeze’s huge leather pads, but they also do not feel claustrophobic like Mr Speaker’s Aeon headphone pads. HIFIMAN HE6SE + Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ - This one's for you, if you heard He6Se, and wanted to make the midrange a bit warmer and sweeter, and the entire sound a bit more romantic.

The Mr Speakers Ether 2 have a more airy and slightly lean sound to them that just doesn’t match the energy of the HE6SE, the HD800s is wider in terms of soundstaging but are no way near as fun or musical.Two; I can’t see where the HE6SE stands out from the ever increasing crowd: maybe in history or heritage?

The Yulong is a very impressive DAC/Amp and brings out volume and detail, with good punch but it doesn’t match the dynamics of a more powerful amp. I may be a bit jaded though by reviews and videos for every headphone and tech product starting with 2 paragraphs of opening the damn box… damn you Apple and that kid with all the toys. I enjoy fishing and relaxing to audio products and then reviewing them to help other decide on what products would work for them.I would say that both sources have a similarly large soundstage, and if you're looking for a large stage both offer that, but then, if you wanted to focus the stage of He6SE, I found the pairing below, with TA-10 to do that. And if you know any of my previous reviews, you know I love to listen loud, in fact so loud, that something like Ananda Bluetooth is one of the very few BT headphones that gets close to my needs in terms of loudness when it comes to Bluetooth headphones. It should be noted that I have absolutely no affiliation with HIFIMAN, I am not receiving any incentive for this review or to sweeten things out. A new headband, new connectors and a shiny new set of cups gives me the distinct impression that this looks like the Massdrop version of the legend. In practice the comfort is not the best, the headphone being considerably tighter and heavier than Arya or Sundara, or Sennheiser HD800 the most direct competitor considering the tuning and signature of HE6SE.
