What is it?

Building upon the success of the HE1000, the HIFIMAN HE1000se Planar Magnetic
Open-Back Headphones feature nanometer-thin diaphragms, acoustically invisible
stealth magnets, thick asymmetrical earpads, and two sets of high-quality
cables to achieve reference-quality sound for audiophiles and audio
enthusiasts at home, in the studio, or with portable devices.

The third version of a distinguished model, the new HE1000 Special Edition
features increased sensitivity for superior performance when paired with every
imaginable source, from audiophile-grade source components to high-resolution
digital audio players — even tablets and smartphones. The previous model,
HE1000 V2, is one of the best-reviewed headphones in the high-performance
personal audio market. Cited by multiple reviewers as being the finest
headphone in its price range, it could easily have been left as is, but Dr.
Bian is a firm believer that even the best can always be made demonstrably
better.

With the planar magnetic drivers, the headphones offer a frequency response of
8 Hz to 65 kHz with an impedance of 35 Ohms. The comfortable headband is
designed to accommodate a wide range of head sizes, while the asymmetrical ear
cups follow the natural shape of the human ear for a proper seal that’s
comfortable for long listening sessions. The outer enclosure is CNC milled and
hand-polished for a striking appearance. The headphones ship with a standard
3.5mm cable and an updated 4.4mm balanced cable, as well as a 3.5mm to 1/4"
adapter.
