Hifiman’s beloved headphones are updated with a new headband and angled connectors in the Hifiman HE 6SE Planar Headphones. The new HE6SE exemplifies Hifiman’s commitment to constantly improving on their most prestigious products. With revisions that increase comfort and usability while remaining true to the original model’s outstanding sonics.

To begin, a redesigned headband is lighter and more adjustable, providing increased comfort. A natural fit for hours of uninterrupted listening. The HE6SE, like all new Hifiman products, has 3.5mm headphone connectors that angled at 10°, reducing pressure points associate with straight-angle connectors. These pressure points can strain the connection. But the new design ensures a strong, dependable, and long-lasting connection between the headphone and the cable.

In addition to updating the connector and headband, Hifiman improved the original’s aesthetic appeal by adding an elegant and visually appealing gunmetal gray satin finish. The new Hifiman HE 6se retains the original model’s exceptional sonic qualities, particularly its wide, natural soundstage, which places the listener in the best seat in the house. Imaging and depth are neutral, remaining true to the sound intended by the artist and producer.

The HE6SE headphone, like many of the finest full-size loudspeakers, requires a powerful amplifier to drive it. To that end, Hifiman includes its HE6 adapter with the new model, making it simple to connect the HE 6SE to nearly any power amplifier currently available.

Powerful Amplifier: The Hifiman HE 6se is based on the legendary HE6, which is known for being one of the most difficult-to-drive headphones on the market. They require serious amplification to sound their best, as their sensitivity is only 83.5dB, and HiFiMAN recommends at least 2wpc @50Ohms to do them justice. Since the original HE6, headphone amplifiers have evolved slightly. There are some on the market that will drive the Hifiman HE 6se fairly well. But most owners will recommend using them with an integrated speaker amplifier or a power amplifier in the 50-150wpc into 8Ohms range.

This Hifiman headphone has an incredibly deep and spacious soundstage. There isn’t a single whisper that escapes the HE6se, making it not only immersive but also comprehensive. These cans excel anywhere multiple instruments or densely layered sounds come together, adding a sense of depth and space to any track. The end result is an impressive auditory odyssey brimming with exacting precision.

The Hifiman HE 6se is a mind-bending tour de force of deep, surging lows and gleaming, soaring highs. A wealth of soundstage and detail add weight to any source. Making it ideal for an emotive and immersive listening experience. While it may be out of reach for most casual consumers. This high-end headphone provides another impressive option for any audiophile to consider.
