I've also had that thought!Now that you mentioned this, the SE supposedly using V2 driver with Stealth Magnets. But could it be that V2 Stealth is just a tuned Arya driver? I remembered someone mentioned this in a couple hundred pages ago. Makes me wonder.
He1000 series was "stealthified" way before everything else was, right? (other than the Susvara of course)
My (very speculative) suspicion is if the he1000stealth and he1000SE really are the same driver (with the same magnets?) they have really gone to town with tuning to change things up enough so they can still charge an extra $1500usd for the SE.
I'm certainly not an acoustic engineer but i wonder how much acoustic dampening/tuning etc can actually change the sound of a given driver, they really don't sound that similar.
Or maybe they actually are different drivers or different magnets or something.
I wonder if there will be an he1000se Stealth version
Either way I think the audiophiles need a new buzzword lol.
