The HiFiMan HE1000se open-back planar magnetic headphone is one of HiFiMan's higher-end audiophile headphones and a welcome addition to the HiFiMan HE1000 series. The third version of a distinguished model, the HE1000 Special Edition features increased sensitivity for superior performance.
Thanks to the lower impedance of 35 ohms and a higher sensitivity of 96dB, you'll get a greater sense of presence and realism, especially when paired with high-performance devices such as headphone amplifiers, DAPs, and DACs.
The HE1000se headphones have a very detailed and dynamic sound. It’s on the analytical side but it’s more natural than clinical.
The HE1000se has a huge soundstage, making it especially suitable for classical music, and jazz.
The bass response is quick with a sub-bass that stands out.
The treble is energetic and airy with a pleasant tonality, and the midrange is textured and full of detail.
The large soundstage gives instruments and small details a three-dimensional presence.
Immerse yourself in the artist’s vocals with a clear, detailed, and smooth sound signature.
