The textures are really clear and crisp, as you'd expect out of a revealing headphone, and everything about HE6SE sounds natural. You can find the headphones, the long, high quality cable, along with something unique, an adapter inside the package. The HE6se V2 is advertised as a no-compromise headphone that delivers a transparent and completely natural rendition of the most complex recordings, and a power-hungry headphone that needs 2 watts per channel or more.

I remember people complaining that HIFIMAN headphones were frail so when i first reviewed their Sunadara headphones i did my best to put them to a lot of torture. Just want to say “big thanks” for the Information that the HE6seV2 can be appropriatly driven by your AK Kann Alpha! Providing you have an amp that is capable of driving them, the HE6SE are still one of the best headphones around if you enjoy a detailed, well balanced yet engaging listen. It is made of very flimsy cores, one per channel, inside a large and eerily soft transparent plastic sleeve that reminds me of a sausage’s skin (a vegan one, with the skin that says “cheap plastic” all over the place. Maybe it’s due to my southern roots in the hills of eastern Kentucky, but I’ve always been raised under the pretense of when you introduce yourself to someone for the first time you present yourself with confidence, class, character, pride, and competence.If you're curious, you can read part 1 here, where I talk about my first choice, the HIFIMAN Arya, and how it made me sad. g. in James Newton Howard’s Noah Visits from the soundtrack for The Village), but on the other hand it doesn’t compromise the general balance – it adds to the sound, but it doesn’t take anything away from it. HifiMan has become somewhat infamous about build-quality issues but I know they are listening and make extra effort to fix these problems. Unashamedly clean and resolving without being bright, the overall linearity from lows to highs is highly enjoyable. I hope this community will not continue down the path of rewarding manufacturers who stuff magnets into their drivers to boost technical performance, only then to end up with 0.

Of course, to get the most out of Thror, you will need at least a midrange DAP like FiiO M11, but even then, HE6SE can't really be driven portably, making Thror the better option if you don't want to stress about power. In terms of sonics, it looks like, once again, using the same technology, which is planar magnetic drivers, Audeze designed a much warmer, bassier, thicker, and more forward sounding headphone, than He6SE, which is nowhere near as forward or as warm. I really do wonder if you listen at insanely high volume levels or if there is a problem with the Erish, if what you say about clipping is true. The high tones of a piano are silky smooth, while at the same time, the cymbals are brassy and metallic.HIFIMAN He6SE vs HIFIMAN Arya - When it comes to comparing HE6SE to Arya, you know it is going to be a hard one. Some may argue that Thror has a smoother treble, which results in a smoother overall sound, and well, that may be true, if you are looking for something that's easier to listen to, Thror surely is impressive, but if you're looking for something that has the ultimate resolution, clarity and detail, HE6SE delivers int hat area better.
