By increasing the sensitivity from 91 to 96 dB, HIFIMAN's HE1000se is easier to drive from any source, with a greater sense of presence and realism, especially when paired with one of our high-performance amplifiers like the HeadAmp GS-X mini or GS-X mk2.

New to the HE1000se are neodymium magnets that increase efficiency and lower distortion for true purity of sound. Neodymium, widely recognized for providing incomparable magnetic strength in a compact size, providing consistently exceptional output that is equal to larger and heavier ferrite magnets. With neodymium, the new model’s driver is faster and more dynamic, presenting every sonic detail for a more compelling performance.
Similar to the previous version, a patented “window shade” open back design minimizes distortion by avoiding unwanted reflections and vibrations that misrepresent the artist’s performance. The result is a wide, natural soundstage that mirrors the experience of listening to live music in an acoustically accurate club or concert hall.
The diaphragm is only one nanometer yielding faster response and a high dynamic range that makes recordings come to life, satisfying the most demanding listeners, no matter the genre, from soft acoustic music to high energy rock & roll, and every genre in between. Ergonomically, the HE1000se is exceptionally comfortable, thanks to a specially designed headband that features a steady arch structure for stability and durability for years of usage without change in fit. A new matte finish with ebony wood trim adds a smart, attractive touch that enhances the overall design.

"I Love my New Hifiman1000 S. E. The resolution and clarity is Wonderful Deep Bass , Beautiful midrange and detailed shimmering treble. Upgrading from the first Arya was a HUGE step in listening pleasure The Music played thru these Headphones sounds like you are in the recording studio yourself"
"Best Hifiman to my ears. Open, spacious and natural."
"Very good spatial representation Great sub-bass Detailed instruments soundstage and imaging and separation fast and tight bass Vocal seems a bit pushed back There is some wood crack or uneveness on my cup, but other than that, I think it's a great hp for its current price"
"Amazing headphones, great for music and gaming. If you want the largest soundstage and a very detailed headphone look no further."
"After placing the order on 1 Sep 2023, I didn’t receive it until 3 Oct 2023. The packaging was good enough to protect the speakers. Well built and with excellent craftsmanship, very beautiful. They came with 3 cables, XLR, 6.4 & 3.5. It would be perfect had 4.4 been included. After playing the babies for two hours, the sound became more crystal clear, and the stage deepened and widened. Good for classical music music, baroque in particular."
"Placed the order and had the unit shipped to way north or border in less than a week. Amazing customer service all along answering the questions and what not. Coming from Ananda, I wasn't expecting much other than incremental improvements in details and timbre (you know the diminishing returns 🫣) but it we amazed as it took everything in the music to a whole different level. The voices sounded amazing and that quality of bass and soundstaging is top tier. Build quality is decent and reassuring. The inclusion of their newer version of cables is a plus."
"Excellent headphones and easy to drive. Very natural and clean sound. I’d prefer anyone to buy."
"The HE1000SE is capable of rendering the finest details, resulting in truly impressive clarity and resolution. Soundstage is portrayed with excellent width and depth. It is quite the achievement to deliver such a highly resolving headphone that does not sacrifice overall musicality. I enjoy fatigue free listening with the HE1000SE. Thanks to HeadAmp for fast shipping and a smooth purchasing experience. My system: Source: PC | DAC: Schiit Yggdrasil LIM | Amp: Schiit Mjolnir 3 | HP cable: stock Hifiman XLR cable"
"Everything you want in a headphone."
"I like them very much. They are definitely better than 1000 V2."
