    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    Excellent review and aligns perfectly with my experience as a happy V2 and V2 Stealth owner. I love having very different listening experiences available with two closely related headphones.

    To me it is not a downgrade, but an alternative experience. The bass impact and depth to the soundstage present music very differently on the stealth. I listen the the V2 when I want to get lost in the music. I reach for the stealth when I want to be in the middle of it.

    I would say V2. Compared to my HD800, the V2 width is just ever so slightly less.

    Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone

    I just hit 50 hours on my hekv2stealth. Anyone else notice the depth of the soundstage change throughout burn-in? I'm amazed how much deeper it seems to go now compared to when I started listening on them. Could just be my ears/brain adjusting but I am hearing layers I haven't been able to...

    I use the Grace Design m920. It is a very resolving, neutral and fast amplifier. It is also no longer in production.

    Absolutely. Still one of my favorite headphones of all time. I love the stealth too, but for different reasons.

    Yeah 1.4k for a stealth is a screaming deal.

    I don't have any experience with the SE apart from a 10 minute listen at can jam in 2019, so unfortunately I can't provide any feedback on those.

    I’ve had the V2 for about 3 years and recently got the stealths as well. I will confirm that in my experience the stealth has greater bass impact and a more forward signature. These come with the trade off of slight reduction of soundstage width. The stealth have a little more resolve and micro...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Fair. I went through at least seven other tips (in addition to the OEM) and found these to be the best for me in terms of fit, seal and sound quality. I’ve been using them for 5 months with no sign of crumbling (yet).

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I’ve had the Grace Design m920 for years. It is so resolving and powers every headphone in my collection with ease. The DAC is extremely musical. I love it.

    SONY IER-Z1R

    That would have made sense to include lol… I’m using the Comply TrueGrip pro for sennheiser true wireless foam tips.

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I’ve had my Z1Rs for about 6 months now. Coming from exclusively open back over ear listening as of late I wanted an option that had great bass and excellent isolation. After much debate I decided to try the Z1R. After a lot of tip rolling I finally got a good fit and comfort. I can wear them...
