That's probably the best summary of the HE1000 I've read yet, well put.

+1

What defines speed for bass? I'm hearing the HE1000 to sound pretty slow in the bass/lower-midrange next to the SR-207. Bass/lower-midrange notes seem to linger on more than the SR-207 and it sounds slow to me, having a more blurred sound. Objectively, a waterfall plot would be able to show driver decay over tested frequencies, but no one here has done that yet.


Waterfall measurements for the SR-207 have been done on the other hand, and the bass decay is pretty superb, as is the rest of the frequency spectrum.


Likewise for the AKG K701. Although the bass itself isn't nearly as extended as either headphone, I hear the bass notes keeping up with the music pretty well and they never seem to get blurred as I hear with the HE1000.

Are you using your O2 setup for them?

I have the SR-009s, SR-007s and HD800s here and the HE1000's bass is right up there in terms of speed!

I had the chance to hear the SR-009 on the Blue Hawaii. Compared to the HE1000, the 009 sounded about as fast overall, so I hear* you on that point.
*pun intended : D

However, I actually hear the SR-207 to be faster than the 009, and thus HE1000. Peter at HeadAmp actually liked my SR-207 + EP-507 pads more than the 007 MK I, both on the Blue Hawaii, and agreed that it has more bass than either the 007 or 009.





Interesting things to hear nonetheless. That's the first time I've seen, let alone hear, the Blue Hawaii in person, both with the entry-level and highest-end STAX headphones.

Any comparaison against the DrSPEAKER ETHER and the Kennerton ODIN ?  The last entrance in the TOL planar headphones.

For the moment no review i know with the Ether but,
the French mafia had listen to it compared to lcdx, hek,dharma, Abyss,  Stax 009( with a super high end amp ) and their verdict is all in all extraordinary : the Odin is one of the better headphone in the world.... Very interesting read....if you know google translator or french

That forum is run by an audio dealer to generate hype for products he sells.  I wouldn't really take much seriously there TBH.

HCFR has become something like an appreciation thread for Casques-headphones and his clients and friends... I'd take what is written there with a grain of salt and I'd wait some  more impressions in next weeks/month. Maybe this Odin is a  true Marvel ,maybe it's a FOTM. Can't know . Odin arrived at Casques-headphones less that a week ago.  Impressions are good thus far but let's time tell if it's a new toy effect or not.  As usual.  Kennerton/Fischer-audio makes usually good headphones and iems. there's no reason to **** on them or to shill their products without any listening. 
 
My 2 cents. 

 

[richard51]

 Ok i will waited that someone free of all interest listen to the Odin...That seems a very interesting new headphone less pricey that the hek....

Perhaps its better to take that with a grain of salt yes...... the listening of the Odin was organized by a dealer for sure ... But its an interesting new product and i will wait that someone here made a review ...Who will be the brave?

HCFR is one of the biggest Hifi + HC  forum in France. very rich with a lot of interesting people in man subjects. The headphone section is only a very small part of the website

Whee, 29.5 minute long HE1000 review video is recorded. I missed 4 phone calls to make it happen (yes you can hear it ring in the video too). XD

I think that Frank I, immtbiker, and MacedonianHero will be contacting you to buy consecutive 10 min segments of your video to fulfill their Trifecta Review promise they made several weeks age!

Archi wrong!

If you do not read French, you can try to read my translation of the review wrote by Superfred21, an independent amateur, passionate of headphones and technique, just like you.
