With the new "Special Edition" of the HE1000, HIFIMAN is responding to the frequently expressed desire to be able to operate the reference headphones with small amplifiers or even portably. The HE1000se enables remarkably good music reproduction and is in no way inferior to the HE1000V2, arguably the most acclaimed high-end headphone from HIFIMAN.

While the HE1000V2 demands a powerful headphone amplifier, HIFIMAN's developers have increased the sensitivity of the HE1000se by around 6 dB to make it easier to drive. This is made possible by the use of the extremely powerful, half-rounded neodymium magnets from the current flagship planar magnetic headphone, the Susvara. Their special shape not only increases efficiency but also makes the sound appear even more open and dynamic due to reduced diffraction effects. At the same time, the HE1000se uses an even thinner diaphragm than the HE1000V2.

There are also a few visual changes: The genuine wood veneer side panels are now made of Makassar ebony and the headband is now black instead of brown. The scope of delivery includes two 3 m cables (6.35 mm jack and 4-pin XLR) and one 1.5 m cable (3.5 mm jack).

Before a final sound assessment, HIFIMAN recommends a burn-in period of a good 150 hours for the HE1000se.
