Tastefully balanced with sparkly highs, Hifiman has pulled out all the stops with the HE1000se. Its most striking quality is the expansive and anally accurate soundstage; each element in the track feels precisely positioned around you, creating a remarkable feeling of space and depth. This immersive experience remains consistent across various genres, from classical music to EDM. And when paired with the 4.4mm balanced cable, the sound becomes downright intoxicating.

Rigo is the best! Very informative, friendly, helpful
Very happy with them
Using w/ a Mojo 2, adding to a Thieaudio Origin IEM so have the headphones for home & IEM for portability. Worked with Rigo who showed 4 models of comparable price but with different characteristics. Was great to walk discuss the differences and the overall purchase experience was easy, smoothly executed and a pleasure. I'm a bit of a novice, so comments are vs the Thieaudio Origin's all played through the Mojo 2. Soundstage is wider than the IEMs, for live shows you feel like you're in the audience, subject to how the file was mastered. IEMs win in terms of resolution, but for me it's shades of grey as they're both very detailed. Very comfortable for listening 2-3 hours at time while working at my desk. I play classical, jazz, and classic rock, but will listen to most anything. All in all a great purchasing experience and an outstanding headphone.
I purchased the HIFIMAN HE 1000se from audio46
I had an excellent experience purchasing these and also other headphones from audio46, my order arrived on time and everything was very good, no problems, thank you audio46.
Simply One of the Best
I have D8000 Pros, HEDD's, Meze, Rad 0, man others. This is the first Hifi Man that is really great. Very much surprised at the open aory, transparent, bright overall realistic sound experience. All cans of this price are good in their own ways. This He1000 Se is one of the best all around headphones on the planet. Seriously its that good.
Great shopping experience
I had not heard of Audio46 before this purchase but was impressed with the quality of communications I had with their sales staff (Tony K) pre and post sale. Quick shipping and arrived safe and sound. Will definitely buy here again.
