The gold plating on the foil creates an inductor, which moves it in a strong magnetic field, creating sound. The HE1000se is brighter than the HE6SE, providing more detail, a nicer, and more interesting treble.

In fact, it is pretty much as good as a dedicated amplifier like Master 19, but DAC+ has a different tonality, warmer, more romantic, more mellow and the detail, while it is there, feels less like it is being pushed onto you.

This is a practical solution from HiFiMan, as it is much nicer than the original system that was implemented in HE6. Are they packaged with pride and presented in such a way that makes the listener eager to listen to them?

The two branches of HIFIMAN headphones seem to present different philosophies for how headphones should sound. This being said they are much harder to drive so you are much less likely to use them outdoors, or put them to any kind of serious damage.Yes some headphones have better micro-detail, and others have better soundstaging, but when it comes to pure enjoyment and energy there are few that can match what these deliver.

With the Feliks Audio Euforia, which has been said to have a lighter bass quality, the HE6se V2 has balanced bass, but the slam is present, impactful, and enjoyable. It’s not as detailed as on many other headphones in this class, but it provides more than enough information. Even if you prefer a warmer, more romantic midrange, something like Arya would be an excellent choice, but if you want the honest truth, HE6SE will really reach your heart. The LCD-4 and Final D8000 are probably the only main comparisons, with the D8000 extracting a little more fine detail with greater punch but they do not sound as neutral and well balanced as the HE6se.Both are minimalistic headphones that come with little extras, and HE6SE may come in a fancier package, when compared to Arya which is really the definition of a barebone headphone.
