Hello, did you find these to be musical, can I use them for Hifi listening like the HD650 - lushness aside as you did mention that about the 650s, I have the HD600 - not for music but meditation and asmr and video listening and the 650's for music. Is the bass, soundstage, imagine better than the 650? thank you.

edition xs or hd 490, which is better in sound quality, as edition xs only is 260 dollars currently

Great review 👍🏻

Thank you.

Excellent review!!!

Sound like artificial intelligence sounding Beyerdynamic fan guy, which is way too harsh when mixing, the flat sound that comes from the NDH-30 is better than the DT’s.

I'm new to the audiophile space. I'm looking at getting the Shiit Asgard 3 to power these. Do you think that will be enough?

Other than caldera line all models are dynamic driver models.

At $1699, HEKSE is the end game under $2k dollars.

I have the clear og bought new for 790. Can confirm they are great, well balanced, don't feel the need for eq. Comes with balanced xlr cables.

Would you say the HE6 og version is comparable or better than the HE1000 stealth or other variants? I'm having a difficult time finding an endgame hifiman under 2k currently. There's too many varying and contradicting opinions especially especially concerning the HE1000 stealth/etc series. I am researching whether to keep the HE1000 stealth or return it for the HE6se v2/other variants. At this point, I might just get the Arya V3 and call it a day. Thanks

I've been seeing a lot of your reviews lately. I greatly appreciate the way you do things and showing the oratory1990 data. I feel I'm getting a more complete and unbiased view into each headphone. Thanks

I've tried many of the Open Back HIFIMAN HP's and the HE1000 Stealth(V4) hits the sweet spot for me. Great all Rounder. Bass, Treble isn't hot

Hifiman sales make almost all of their headphones compelling at some point. The recent sale was truly nuts, even the HE1000se [3500$] was down to 1699$

I mean this in the nicest way possible. But the amplifier Luxman P-1u you used for testing. According to google only outputs 500mw at 32 0hms. I say this because The he6se v2 requires at least a 2w amplifier at 50hms according to hifiman. I say this because as someone who usually doesn't care all that much about amplifiers specifically notice how the 6sev2 scales up with power especially in how natural it sounds. For example I originally had a thx 888 amplifier and Went to a schiit magnius, then Topping a70 pro. On the topping while they may be similar volumes for vocals to the thx 888 the bass impact will have much more dynamics and not sound anemic at all compared to the thx, or schiit. (to a lesser extent) Also In my experience the soundstage opens up a lot and the treble gets less glary or siblant.

what's your recommended headphones for budget of $50-60. general Music listening on smartphone and for video editing (sometimes).

No nonsense, no fluff. Sharp, to the point, yet detailed and very well articulate. Incredible review my man. Now that these are $1399, the price is a lot more palatable, yet still very high! I agree - these could definitely pass for endgame if the hifiman sound is your cup of tea. I own these and the clear for their opposite characteristics. If I may ask, what type of sound signature do you prefer? And what’s your favourite headphone?

Long term Sz 600's user .Neauman's are noticeably better and worth the extra bucks... especially for detailed classical music.

No, how many$ ?

every other review says theses are great, idk who to trust

May Sundara open back ako for 4yrs now. Etong closed back iba po sound nya, pati driver nito iba din, niloloko lang kayo sa pangalang Sundara closed back. lol! Nag markdown na to sa Taiwan kasi inulan ng returns at negative review and mga stores. Buti pa bose bilhin nyo kung gusto nyo closed back. Or kung gusto nyo boomy na bass dun kayo sa Fidelio X2HR.

Is the $250 magnesium metal upgrade worth the 30 gram difference?

Very good and articulate review. I like how you described the difference between Focal Clear/Utopia and HE1000 Stealth in terms of smaller stage but more direct punch vs bigger stage but a softer presentation. I'd add to this that if one wants the best of both worlds, it's really worth spending a bit more and getting the HE1000se which sounds much more natural and less "artificial" (especially stage-wise) than the HE1000 Stealth.

Excellent and articulate review about the HE 1000 stealth. Appreciate your clarity and personal reference regarding strengths and weaknesses of comparative listening. The video length is spot-on and to the point. Your video script is easy to follow and opening and closing segments are great. thank you!

Please, where is the EGGHEAD shop located?

Good review video. Informative. Thanks

i cut an orange in half today, pressed the two halves against my ears and they sounded more natural and zesty than any hifiman headphone!!!

why is it half the price if it has extra stuff in the side to make it closed back

can ifi zen dac v2 drive this perfecty

looks like I'll be due for a stop at Egghead. Been looking for a closed back to complement my Anandas and Kato for punch and bass impact. Seems like ZMF had come out with what I was looking for!

i like your contents! you deserve more subs and views!

Clearly biased review. You like the sparkly sound of Senns and Audeze. I mix audio. I don't want to hear sparkly highs that don't actually exist in the source audio. If i wanted that, i'd buy some HD 650's.

I love the Focal creaking sound right from the beginning when you lifted them up😂 Both of them! It's unacceptable. I bought Focals and regret it, the cable broke within a week and they creak when I breathe on them, not to mention the pads, they are very pricey.

Do you use dac with it?or just straight to the source?

both this and truthear nova are $150 right now. which one should i go for?

Why are no companies making headphones that sound like this anymore? Warm, sweet, with just enough air and richness in the treble. It makes everything sound wonderful. When my original Grado RS1s die (and it’s when, not if, with these things - they’re already older than me), these LCD 2.2s will be completely unobtainium, and I don’t know what I’ll do then… Finance a ZMF Atrium?

How do they compare to the Aeon Flow Closed

Your review is as valuble as me reviewing a power drill for baking bread… the ndh-30 is very flat, great transient response, accurate ”soundstage”, accurate representation of the audio = translates mixes very well to other playback devices. It is build for a purpose and if it even closely resembled any of your comparison cans i would steer away at once since they are really colored, with a big smileyface eq curve, and an exhaggerated soundstage. It competes very well with a lot of headphones twice its price and half its build quality. This is a tank that is ready for work!

You're one of the few reviews that has criticism of the treble. I would 100% agree with you. Too dark and lacks detail. Your comment of a cloth over the treble is perfect. How I felt as well. Sadly, I thought the other ares of the 30's were great. Curious, do you think I'd be happy with the LCD-X?

how do these compare to the HD800s?

these Sennheiser's HD 450BT's are 129 ( Canadian ) 95 ( USD ) for black friday....i just need a set of headphones for watching netflix and my ipad for movies and utube....the noise cancellation and calls are not important but good sound is ....would these be a good buy ?....cheers from Canada

One of my absolute favourite due to the transcendent lush vocal which is Audio Technica wooden cans are good at.

They're beautiful but probably my least used of my collection.

When longer lasting is the reason to not go for pleather is just SMH. Acoustics is the reason. Passive noise isolation on a headphone which colours the outside noise less than HD600. Is a studio loud? It is a studio not a record room. LMAO bass is bad? You have not even declared your audio setup! Warm? It might be dark, if you know the word! OH GOOD WHAT COMPARSONS! PLEASE NEVER DO AN OTHER REVIEW OR SHOW IT TO REDDIT TO GET TORCHED

Now only 1399$ - hifiman reduced the price even more check their updates MSRP.

You described a bunch of features that engineers, producers and mastering engineers require :-)

This is a very, seemingly, biased opinion you have here. Your review seems to be based on everyday listening (contoured) headphones instead of mix/mastering (flat) headphones. Using these type of headphones will take time to adjust to the flat frequency response and the clarity these headphones will bring. A well-trained ear will find these headphones to be exactly what is needed in the studio. If you immediately have a response that says they don't sound as bright, dull, boomy, mid high/low as (insert other brand) then you are completely missing out on what these are actually achieving and you would do your mixes a favor by having a better trained ear. You're expecting others to take your word for how you perceive frequency when your ears listen to it. If you want to comment on build quality, fine. But, when it comes to what they sound like, measurement is the only thing you can do to validate whether or not they're in fact as flat as they say they are.

Hello, this or arya organic?

and now it is even cheaper @ 1399$

Is there better recommendation?
