Hello, From time to time I look at the novelties in the field of headphones. Yesterday I saw the price drop on the HE1000 series and now the HE1000 v2 stealth and SE seems very good priced. A brief history on my headphone journey Ten years ago I tested and owned a lot of headphones ...

Did you have a link please ?

Anyone has compared the HE 1000 V2 vs HE 1000 V2 stealth ?

Hi,   I have read a lot of review but can't decide which is the more neutral (not v shaped please) IEM under 400 dollars ?

  Can you give me an example of less details ? Honestly I didn't notice that, I think it's more related of the fact you ear is less near the driver.

I bought 2 months ago an pair of active monitoring Neumann KH120. During 2 years I tried high end headphone Abyss, HD800, HE6, SR007/009, Code X etc. None of them can compete with my pair of KH120. If you have space for a pair of monitoring don't waste money with headphone.

They also have low distortion. The problem is that most amp didn't have the right driver tube. So at the end you "hear" the distortion of the driver not the output.   But yes if you want the best performance stay away ! However I prefer a bit more pleasant sound but don't that want that...

Yes but is has one the lowest distortion and you can get 7-8 watts to drive difficult headphone.

Hi there,   I search an builder for an custom headphone amp.   I have an precise idea of what you want, but we will see if certains things must be change.   I'm located in France and prefer a builder located in Europe.   My project will use 300b tube as output.   Thanks you

I don't think it's so easy to categorize.   I had an SR007 and SR009, they always had that ethereal sound that I didn't find "real". The SR009 was a bit bright and thin.  I owned an LCD-X, tried on EC BA and 2A3MKIV and find congested also the treble lacks refinement.   The HD650 has an...

Run the HD650 an very good amp and maybe you will change opinion. 

Te be clear when I said "recessed mid" is relative to SR009, SR007, HD600 or HE6. When I said "odd high mid/treble" is relative to SR007, HD600 or SR009.   In an absolute reference the mid, high mid/treble are good but IMO not enough good for the price.   I like the frequency response of...

I'm not the single who share the same impression. It's more sensitivity or taste.

  EML 2A3, Sylvania and RCA sounds the same.   *hollow mid If your brain is accustomed to the headphone you will not hear. But when you switch to another headphone... It's more recessed high mid than recessed treble. Mids lack presence.

  I test it on Balancing Act, 2A3MKIV and Stratus and had the same behavior. Sound like it's the headphone.

I think Abyss is good headphone but for me it 2 fatals flaws.   It have recessed and hollow mid. Treble has an issue, they are inconsistent either too soft or too harsh

  Hi,   Does the HE1000 has more solid sound (less ethereal) than the SR007 ? It sounds as smooth as the SR007 ?   Thanks

  Your opinion interest me, you owned an Abyss right ? The HE1000 is more warm and smooth than the SR007MKI ? I already found the SR007 unoffensive. Did the HE1000 is more solid or less ethereal sound than the SR007 ?   Did you prefer the HE1000 over the Abyss ?   Thanks

MacedonianHero you like a lot the Stax SR007 right ?   What did you think about the comparison with the HE1K ?
