The incredible amount of detail, clarity, precision and how correct / crisp the sound is really makes you want it. The trick here is that both are fairly neutral, but Thror is not necessarily an analytic headphone, it is much more of a neutral, yet musical headphone.

And since HE6SE comes with a really long cable, that may feel a bit uncomfortable for some, I expect that questions about where to get replacement cables exist, which is why I'm happy HIFIMAN went with such a popular socket format. The HE6SE have a way of rendering the tracks as they should be, with great accuracy yet honest and real timbre.Now, I am a man who listens to a lot of quick music, a lot of metal, rock, and I love having the best clarity possible, and this is where HE6SE comes in. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly that measurements for a headphone are interesting and important, especially in the design and quality control stages of their construction.

FR curves indicate that the HE6se V2's low end is tame and neutral, but the low end has quite a bit more slam, aggression, and presence than the Sundara and the Arya. The HE6se V2 is advertised as a no-compromise headphone that delivers a transparent and completely natural rendition of the most complex recordings, and a power-hungry headphone that needs 2 watts per channel or more. distortion of an iFi amplifier over the integer-percent distortion of the headphones, I’m not sure it’s going to keep on doing it far longer if you really use your amplifier to the point it “clips badly”. Anyway, I would have liked to see you test the headphones with a more powerful amp to challenge your assertion that more watts at 50ohm don’t make a difference, even though I suspect that you’re probably right.

As primarily a speaker guy, I'm sure this little planar will keep me entertained for another 4-5 years, especially in rotation with my Elex. One of my gripes with the original HE series was always the comfort, these are still not a lightweight headphone but the headband is designed to distribute the weight a lot more effectively which means I can now wear these for extended periods of time with no discomfort.

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. HIFIMAN HE6SE is really hard to drive, so HIFIMAN designed an adapter that lets you power HE6SE directly from a power or integrated amplifier, in other words, using a speaker amplifier to power HE6SE. I tried the Muddy Waters song My Home Is In The Delta, and the mentioned happened, but there was an interesting thing.

They also claim: the more power the better, mentioning their own amp they made for the Susvara with an output power of 20W. One of the most expected and eagerly awaited reviews at Audiophile-Heaven, the article on HE6Se is live now! The metalic cover on the driver is also different from the mesh used on Sundara making me feel confident that even less debris will ever touch the driver. It looks like either the headphones are so new the materials have yet to adjust and take the proper shape, or they’re not of great quality and therefore behave in this weird way.

The transient response of the drivers means they never become bloated or congested even with the fastest of metal tracks.About the HE6se v2, I drive them with the Schiit magnius and like it, though I could use a little more headroom as I am usually at 11-1ish listening volume. Even when compared to electrostatic setups, like HIFIMAN's own Jade II, or like Sonoma Model One I just reviewed, HE6SE manages to hold its ground (HE6SE being a planar magnetic headphone), so you won't be left behind in terms of detail, micro detail and clarity. Thror is not as cold, and He6SE is quite a bit colder, so the midrange of Thror ends up being a touch sweeter, than the ever so detailed works of HE6SE.
