About the HE1000se
The HiFiMAN HE1000se is the third iteration in the prestigious HE1000 series, offering significant advancements in design and performance with increased sensitivity and lower impedance for better compatibility with various sources including smartphones and DAPs. It employs a nanometer-thin diaphragm for rapid response and minimal distortion, neodymium Stealth Magnets that reduce wave diffraction for purer sound, and a patented Window Shade system to minimize unwanted vibrations and enhance soundstage. The asymmetrical ear cups and sturdy 3.5mm user-replaceable connectors add to its build quality and customizability. Known for its neutral, detailed sound with exceptional clarity, resolution, and spacious imaging, it excels across genres with tight bass, coherent mids, and airy treble. Includes multiple cable options: 1.5m 3.5mm, 3m 3.5mm to 1/4", and 3m 3.5mm to XLR balanced. Currently available at discounted prices from original MSRP.
