Refurbished isn’t a bad choice but I always prefer a brand new pair.

Alright, well I’m glad at least you managed to get them from the EU warehouse.

You got that info from the customerservice@hifiman.com?

They’re back in stock on HiFiMan’s website? I’ve been asking them about the EU stock for months now, each time they told me they could ship it from China only.

I was considering ordering refurbished but I was told that refurbished HEKse come with og transparent cables and if I’d order brand new I’d get the black ones which is what I’m after.

Hey everyone, it’s been some time since I was attempting to order HE1000se from HiFiMan’s website, but I decided to hold off until there’s a restock in the warehouse in Poland. It’s been 4+ months and they’re still out of stock and I was told they don’t plan to ship brand new HEKse to Poland...

Has anyone had any luck ordering HE1000se from EU warehouse in the past month? I’ve been trying since mid September but was only able to buy the Shangri-La headphone stand.

Yesterday I sent an email to Hifiman’s customer support about ordering HE1000se from the warehouse in Poland. I was told it’s out of stock at the moment but they could “devalue“ the price of the package so I wouldn’t have to pay around 500€ in customs and taxes. I’ve no experience with this and...

Does anyone have experience with different optical cables? I have an AudioQuest Forest that I tested but it’s too short so after I read many comments stating that expensive cables are snake oil I decided to buy a $5 cable but the sound seems to be veiled to my ears, can this be true or I’m...

Thank you so much, the seller was Amazon themselves so I’ll probably buy from HiFiMAN directly, just a bit worried about PayPal transactions as I mainly use a one time virtual debit card directly so I don’t have much experience with PayPal.

Totally forgot to ask but is it better to buy from Hifiman directly or through Amazon? I heard Amazon handles returns better for some reason.

Hopefully they will be back in stock eventually, has anyone had a pair of HE1000SE’s for an extended period of time (2+ years)? Are they holding up well?

Strange, was that recently? They just gave me a link to Italian Amazon to buy them from there, obviously for a higher price.

They told me that HE1000SE is out of stock in their warehouse in Poland.

I got a response on Thursday, then I replied to the same mail asking about EU stock and I’ve yet to get a response from them.

Does anyone have prior experience with Hifiman’s customer support? I was emailing them about the European warehouse and if they could ship HE1000se from there. It’s been 2 days and I haven’t heard back from them.

Probably a dumb question but is there any way to monitor what the dB level is, sample rate etc. with either of these options?

Thank you for your dac amp recommendations, any opinions on JDS Element III Mk2? It has all the functionality I’d need for the time being such as a display and UAC 1.0 compatibility, but I’m not sure how it performes sound wise.

Thank you all for your opinions, I think I’ll pick HE1000se because of the soundstage, imaging and extensions. Also because I haven’t tried any planars yet so there’s that. I’ve seen complaints about the stock cables not being on par with the headphones - is it mandatory to buy custom cables and...

Hi everyone, I’m looking to upgrade from my current HP being the DT 1990 Pro. My issue with these is very harsh treble at higher volumes which for me is almost painful to listen to at times. I want something that is a bit more balanced for everyday listening and gaming on PS5. I’m choosing...
