It is slightly lighter than Audeze headphones and slightly heavier than Focal headphones or HiFiMan’s own new line like the Ananda/Arya/HEXV2/HE1000.
Not only it is warm and smooth, it also colors He6SE, constricting their soundstage a bit, and delivering a more focused and intimate sound, which, if you wanted it, sounds really close to your heart. The last one is only included so that you get the hope that you can drive He6SE while on a slightly more restricted budget. The one downside to the headband, like with the Sundara, is the lack of swivel to adjust the front/back angle. In which I thank my suppliers and give a casual introduction and generally set the tone for the musings which will followI got married in 2019.It’s not often that you come across a headphone that openly advertises how absurdly difficult it is to drive. Bass on the HE6SE v2 is almost perfectly neutral, with superb presence even in the lowest region and a great balance among its parts.
This is a high-end flagship that really deserves more than just one article, so it has been covered during multiple videos, and other articles. After having the HE6se V2 for some time, sometimes I fell into the thinking that perhaps the gear I had wasn't powerful enough to power the HE6se V2, but after more thorough listening with the HE6se V2, I found that the Feliks Audio Euforia MK I can power it beautifully. The HE1000se is brighter than the HE6SE, providing more detail, a nicer, and more interesting treble. The same applies for treble, which is also more emphasised and in-your-face than on the HE6SE v2, which sound lighter and airier to me.But we don’t cannot listen to a measurement, we can only imagine what a headphone can sound like by studying it’s relative performance.
Below the funny lyrics and showmanship of JB and KG you will find great craftsmanship that might get overshadowed by these.While the HEXV2 sounds much more spacious and softer, the HE6SE is more focused and has more bass impact. To start off with a disclaim, I have never been able to hold or see in person the original HE-6 so I am unable to provide any comparisons to the original and updated version both in terms of construction and sound.
Moving from the Sundara to the HE6se V2 felt like the acoustic experience of upgrading from a good SDR LCD to an HDR OLED. I understand the fact that some people really prefer a leaner, more smooth experience, and that if you're in the studio, you want to do your job for hours in a row, so He6SE, with their ultra revealing overall sound, and sparkly treble may not be a better studio headphone, than the smoother LDC-MX4, but then again, HIFIMAN never market He6SE as a studio headphone, that is more of a personal note, that it would work quite well as one. However if you are after HiFiMan headphones, I would encourage you to audition any of their new(er) offerings like the Edition XV2, HE1000 variants, Arya or Ananda. Of course, to get the most out of Thror, you will need at least a midrange DAP like FiiO M11, but even then, HE6SE can't really be driven portably, making Thror the better option if you don't want to stress about power.This being said, the design of Arya is different, and follows the design of Ananda, which is more oval, has much larger drivers and earcups, with more space for your ears to sit in. Soundstage is comparable in width, which is quite impressive given the Radiante are closed-back, while imaging is slightly better on the Radiante and instrument separation is better on the HE6SE v2. When powered properly the HE6SE have excellent impact down low, hitting hard with authority but always in a controlled and precise manner. 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.
Great Deal
