It’s been a long time since I have pulled out the HE2000v2 for a listen. Thought I would take it out for a listen for the Sony TA-ZH1ES that I just received.

Hey. What’s difference between HE1000 V2 and HE1000SE?

Different magnet array tech. The former uses the older window shade magnet array and the latter uses stealth magnets. The stealth magnets were first used in Hifiman's planar flagship, the Susvara.

I'm just sitting here thinking that I know I've spent all of my play money for now, but I know I'm going to regret it if I miss this deal...

Does that mean an V3 is on the way?

Isn't the SE sort of an V3 already?

Sort of, but since they continued v2, I think it was meant to be a different HE1K line, could be wrong.
I had to buy one with that price... I'm looking forward to receiving and trying these out now.

WOW, how sad!!
People will never know what you and I witnessed! It's like we saw a UFO.
We can tell our grandchildren one day what we witness
I am a believer now

Hay guys,
I had a chance to listen to the HE1000v2 for a whole month and it was a great experience that I want to share it here.

Very airy and smooth in the treble. The treble is a little bit forward, not harsh but boarder line. No sibilance ! Very impressive.
Huge soundstage that feels just natural unlike the hd800s which feels unnatural
It has the ability to get very big when the song calls for it and becomes intimate when the song calls for it. Feels like an orchestra in a grand way. The soundstage is more 3d than Arya which feels less 3d.
Bass is very textured! You can hear details in the bass you never heard before. Very will extended bass. You can also feel the bass rumble on your cheeks! Very impressive. Bass never overwhelm the track, very controlled and enjoyable.
Midrange is very sweet and lush and warm! Not recessed, excellent timber, everything sounds like how it supposed to sound. crystal clear. Very close though but not as close as hd600 but definitely closer than Arya.
The most impressive instrument separation I have ever heard!
Very forgiving for bad recording, not like the Arya and hd800s which are punishing.
Electronic music are just amazing on the he1000 like daft punk (get lucky) and most their other songs. orchestra and classic music also are amazing. But the hd800s series takes the classic music one step further.
Vocal centric music not the greatest but it’s ok, hd600 serious much better performance there, more intimate.
Pop songs are amazing, all king of pop songs just amazing! Especially smooth criminal! The most impressive song I heard on the he1000 v2, it shows all it’s technicality and speed handling. Metal songs like (Through the fire and flames) are very very impressive on he1000 and it was able to keep up with every note without lacking behind in anything with great bass speed and decay.
Over all it’s an improvement over Arya in everything, soundstage and imaging are identical in my opinion.
mid range is much better on the he1000, the Arya feels very recessed, and also the clarity is slightly better on he1000.
Treble is very smooth, much smoother than Arya and it has no sibilance, some time it hits but very rarely compared to Arya and hd800s.
Bass is amazing, one of the best bass I have heard or felt, and it extends very well, a little bit better than Arya.
Very laid back like the Arya, you can just listen for many hours without fatigue, even more than the Arya.
Over all it’s an excellent headphone and highly recommended.
