    Heard this at CanJam and was kind of blown away. The best price-to-performance value I think I’ve ever heard.

    That headband and a cable that's not detachable at this price point is unforgivable

      The headband, I agree with. The cable, not so much since it's an e-stat. There's a significant enough risk of destroying the driver due to the voltages involved that swapping cables is a bad idea.

    So many interesting models to test. The new high-end Grado, The new Dan Clark cans and more from the unveiled section of Hifiman.

    Excellently done, Wave. Thank you very much. Not just a review of this set but an enquiry into ( really well considered ) alternatives and what these bring to the ears.
    I also appreciate that you checked out how the energiser and the electrostatic ear speaker sounded separately.
    I was hoping you would review this product and I was more than satisfied.
    Cheers.

    Seems like Hifiman has massively improved its old Jade (2) model. The problem is always the niche all-in-one system with an estat. Can't swap the headphone out easily to anything else besides an estat so the upgrade path is limited. I think with the current very resolving planars there is not that much of a need for going into that direction, it's just hard getting into and out of... Great review!

    I just ordered the SECOND electrostatic headphone on my wishlist.
    This was the FIRST one on my list.

    One day...I don't know when that day will come, but one day Hifiman will get rid of that accursed headband.

      I certainly hope so. 😢

      They sell the headband separately, which is unbelievable for a 1.1k headphone 🤦

    Aune 7000 + Xduoo xd05t, would be fun to hear your take on its combo

    I almost want to send you some custom pads or put you in contact with NtraX Mod Design. The custom pads I ordered from him totally transformed the Mini Shang for me. Literal night and day difference for the better, maybe the biggest jump in technicalities and capabilities I've ever heard from a pad swap.

    I’d have to get those Dekoni Nuggets for this one like I had to for my Edition XS

      I use a pair of gymnasium wrist straps on my XS and HE400se.

    Wave dude. Spectacular job of explaining the sound and the pluses and minuses of these phones. For me, the fixed cable is a deal killer, I want a user replaceable cable for when it breaks. The aesthetics of the headband aren't great. Maybe they should try for better quality at a $3000 system price point, still much cheaper than the Warwick LOL. Two comments on your channel. I think the relentless self-promotion is holding you back. I've watched about 20 of your videos, and it is getting tiresome. It's just a time waster. If you must shoot some new ones. And still no thanks button. It's an easy way to get you some $$. Why not? Peace out.

    They sound lean... Unless you use a tiny bit of equlization
    Preamp: -3.9 dB
    Filter 1: ON LSC Fc 70 Hz Gain 3.0 dB Q 0.900
    Filter 2: ON PK Fc 2000 Hz Gain 4.0 dB Q 1.400
    Filter 3: ON PK Fc 4500 Hz Gain -5.0 dB Q 3.800
    Save it as a .txt file, open in Peace, enjoy a calibrated, studio level of balance, with electrostatic precision. The preset was made simple to preserve the natural character of the headphones. You can adjst the gain on the first filter to change the level of bass.

    On the Lampizator, how do the HE1000 Stealth and Arya Organic fare? Are they flipped about the Shang Mini and are below the Shang as the Shang is to the HE1000se?
