HIFIMAN HE1000 V2 Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphone

Product Information

Don't misunderstand me - this isn't something like a HD650 in timbre - but the timbre is enjoyable enough that everything else about the headphone outweighs the averageness of it. You can hear absolutely everything and pick out the placement of instruments with everything being projected with extreme clarity. The packaging is extremely minimalist and well, eco friendly since the box is recyclable and even the protective foam have second life as an Headphones stand. The grill is made of metal too and it's thick one, not light alluminium prompt to vibration that could create unwanted distortion (like the Grado grill).

I really do enjoy the overall sound and it has made me want to check out a lot more of my collection trying these Headphones instead of listening via Speakers. All in all, with Audivina I need to force my mind to find music immersive and musical while the HE1000 Stealth embrace me in right away and make me close to my fav singer, pianist or saxophonist. I pair it with Xduoo XD05plus too and it was a rather potent match but the less refined in term of timbre, resolution and dynamic control wich is a bit too excite (opposite of SH9 in that regard), yet it confirm the HE1K can handle bass boost like a champ without distortion inherent to it's driver.It's not a unidirectional spatiality but if you like greater sens of freedom in term of airy spatiality, Arya should be the one, due to a more recessed center stage. And headphones with crazy accurate imaging is for monitoring purpose, not to enjoy music and here we have best of both world.

I can only speculate as to why it has taken so long, other than for the obvious, commercial reasons, but the HE1000 has been given the Stealth Magnet treatment. I don't feel the HE1000 Stealth is held back much by the Piety (as it's pretty easy to drive,) but it does sound like I'd be able to get a bit more out of it with a beefier amp. Given that this trickle down tech, first introduced with the Susvara Flagship, I have been expecting this for some time now.whatever reasonable criteria you have, these headphones are designed and built meet your needs and where possible, exceed them.
