HIFIMAN HE400SE Stealth Magnets Version Over-Ear Open-Back Full-Size Planar Magnetic Wired Headphones for Audiophiles/Studio, Great-Sounding, Stereo, High Sensitivity, Comfortable, Sliver

They are amazingly good for the price, definitely much better sound than my old AKG K271 MKII (which aren't just V-shaped, they are N-shaped, I can't believe I've spent at least 6 years in them. Yeah, and they cost about 2.5x more than the Hifimans). I think these Hifimans are the really flat apart apart from being a bit bassy and having a peak at a few kHz that can make the "S" sound in vocals annoying. But YOU may like it, and if you don't, like me, it is a very easy fix, described at the end of the review. The sound is unbelievably detailed with and without the mod, but without the mod the vocals also an feel a bit odd, like there is normally a minuscule amount of echo or sustain, and here there is none, so it can sound oddly dry in a way. Like the diaphragm can start and stop so fast it causes the sound to have way less sustain than you are used to. I guess it could be that most people including me listen to music through dynamic drivers only, whether it's speakers or headphones, and then they add a little bit of sustain to everything. The mod diminishes this effect a little, turning it from annoying to actually good. I never had planar magnetics before, so this could be the effect all planars do have, and in itself it's worth the price as it is really interesting to experience. It makes brass and percussive instruments sound crazy good, like you are there. They are surprisingly comfortable when you are upright, but can slide off if you are lying on your back and didn't tighten the headband more than what feels best when sitting or standing. The build quality is OK, and much better than it looks on the photos. The earcups do have a vertical swivel even though it doesn't look like they do, just the point of rotation is within the black part of the headband. And the forks are metal. The cable is really nice and thick, and is probably like a balanced cable all the way except for the plug. These headphones are easy to disassemble (sometimes a little too easy, the grilles for example), and there is a plenty of upgrades available, including 3D printed and buyable (headband, earpads, grilles, cables, etc.). But you DO need a headphone amplifier/actual soundcard/Bluetooth DAC/stationary hi-fi equipment that has a headphone output, as a phone or other portable devices meant for ordinary headphones can be too weak to drive them properly and they will sound a lot worse than they otherwise can, even at the same volume. They definitely sound good from Creative SoundblasterX G6 and Douk U3, so you probably don't need anything unreasonably expensive. Other than that I can't really think of any reason NOT to buy them if you want wired headphones that sound good, have great soundstage, are easily repairable/moddable and are cheap. The $0 mod goes as follows: Just remove the earpads and put adhesive tape as seen in the picture. The earcup has a plastic ring that is rather flexible nad has four hooks that point outwards. The easiest way to get it off is to reach for the ring through the earhole and try to lift it where one of the hooks is. The tape has to be between the second most rear and fourth most rear magnet, and should not extend out beyond these magnets (and put it on the magnets, NOT on the diaphragm, this is just to make the sound go less directly into your ear hole). Just leave one rear gap and three front gaps. And leaving about 5mm from the top and bottom makes it as detailed as it was without the nasty sharp "S" sound, and just a very, very small amount bassier). You can adjust the tape length to your liking of course, the amount shown works best for me. Also be careful, do not touch the diaphragm, and be aware that the magnets are quite strong, so that if you use a ferromagnetic tool to trim or apply the tape, it can be attracted to them suddenly). Also be aware that the earpads have front (thinner) and back (wider) sides, and do one ear at a time to avoid mixing them up.

I already own the Hifiman HE400Is I got on here five years ago, so why did I buy these? I tried to buy the IFI hIP dAC V2 AMP, only to find that it lacks a 3.5" basic input, all USB, which is not what I needed for my simple but solid Fiio X1 player/Fosi Audio amp rig. I am not using my smartphone for most music listening. I use the iPhone14 in the car and it's great for that. I realized I was looking a gift horse in the mouth: I have the player and amp I love, so don't mess with it! Headphones can always be improved, however. At least, until you hit the diminishing returns wall, but I'm not in the market for $10,000 speakers or headphones, in any case. Instead, this came up at $100 on here and I realized I was staring a true deal right in the face. I love the He400Is but they aren't terribly portable. Well, these are slightly more portable, but still a big, bulky headphone, let's face it. But, the tradeoff is sheer luxury, sound quality, and to me, the build quality is fantastic and solid. Maybe Focals are better, i dunno, but my budget is not for $8000 phones, sorry. I know some have had issues with Hifiman's quality control, I haven't. I tend to baby my gear, anyway. I'm not about to lug these around outside all day long, etc. I was willing to bet on Hifiman again, and I'm so glad I did. These beauties showed up Sat. night and I unboxed them gingerly, tested them on the Fiio player with .wav files, hours of Miles Davis Quartet the Second box set, (Columbia CD edition) Wish You Were Here (latest remaster), and some Morton Feldman For Bunita Marcus by Aki Takahashi (newest Mode edition CD). All sounded sublime, but particularly the Miles Davis. This is half the reason to invest in Hifimans or planars or electrostatics, treating yourself to quality music, well recorded, etc. I'm a heavy metal fan too, but I wouldn't buy these whatsoever for speed or death metal. Get something with more slam and heavy bass if anything. Beats, whatever. Even if you're not a jazz or classical fan, and I'm mainly a rock/pop guy, or dance, these are a darned good reason to expand your horizons and get a good headphone amp, portable or not, a good high res player (not your phone!), and load it with HQ sources and you're in for a real treat. Put on John Coltrane's Heavyweight Champion box set and have a good ol' time. Steely Dan! Hells yes. As with the HE400Is, these open backs shine with the detail, wide soundstage, solid but not super deep bass (just "true" but with bass boost/EQ on it extends more), and shimmering, natural sounding treble. The mids are decent, if not super extended. But the mids are anything but "screechy" or sibilant, either. Comfort level of the pads, suspension, and headbar are off the charts, at least for me. My head is smaller so I don't even extend the bands. You can sit there with these or the 400Is for hours and never get fatigued, either your ears, or your head. They bleed sound in room....who cares!? Don't worry about it unless you're in a public space with tons of people near you. I think the treble in the 400Is might be a bit clearer, or sharper, but I'm not sure since I haven't used those in a while. This is extraordinary in the headphone world, where in my experience, cheap earbuds and headphones are often totally lacking in comfort. Pioneer, I'm talking to you! These actually seem very efficient for planars, my Fosi Audio amp powers them very easily, and I only have to crank them up a bit more than say, my Sennheiser Urbanites XL to achieve the same level. I wouldn't try this without an amp, however, and let's face it, planars will only truly shine utilizing a good amp, so get one! Though via your phone with a good amp would be fine, too. Don't bother with Bluetooth either, you'll only cheapen the experience, and degrade the signal. As for Bass-heads: these are NOT for bass heads. There is some good bass here, but it's not like nightclub Beats over the top super sub bass. What you get instead is some of the tightest, truest general deep bass you're going to ever hear. It's all about accuracy, in the bass, but, never clinical, either. The 400Ses are accurate, detailed, but warm, maybe a tiny tad "dark" sounding. For $100 these are a total steal, I believe. You can spend $1500 for Audezes, I'm sure they're worth every penny (they are, I've heard them), but if you're starting out with mid-Fi, or audiophile stuff, you can buy these and be confident that your $100 was spent very wisely indeed. Just don't take them to the beach, for goodness' sake! Even better running these from a really good desktop headphone amp or receiver, but portable amps will do fine! At 32 ohms and "high sensitivity," these shine with an amp but you won't push the amp beyond belief. They also look phenomenal with a beautiful black and silver metal suspension and those velour pads. OMG! Get them now before they are discont'ed and sell for $1000. A bit of burn-in time will likely' be a good idea, too.

I have never owned or heard a planar headphone before. I am not a major audiophile, and the best headphones I have owned are V-Moda M-80, which I have had for a while, and Philips Fidelio X2HR, which I got a few weeks ago. I have been happy with both of these for casual listening, but wanted to try planar drivers without spending a lot of money. I decided to take a plunge with these entry level planars. I like the way they look. The colors are understated, and the size is about the same as the X2HRs. The build quality is not as good as the Philips cans, which use a lot more metal. The HE400se sound a bit more creaky when handling, and seem to be built with a much looser tolerance between parts. They do seem sturdy enough to last, but only time will tell. The headband is not as good as the Philips suspension support, but it is well cushioned, and better than how the V-Moda cans fit. The earpads are quite squishy, and distribute the clamping force quite well. Where these headphones shine is in the sound quality. The other two dynamic headphones I have aren't bad per se, but the bass seems to be a lot less crisp. Rapid changes in pitch never seem to get out of sync with the planar drivers, resulting in every drum hit, string pluck, and cymbal crash sound much more precise. These also resolve much more detail from layered songs, which make you notice nuances you miss with other headphones. I first drove these directly from my computer, and they seemed much quieter than my other phones. This is due to the planar drivers being more power hungry. I really couldn't drive them efficiently this way, as turning us the volume too much would cause my sound output start to clip. These issues were resolved after I added an cheap mini amp to boost the computer sound output, after which these came in line with the levels I was used to with my dynamic headphones. I also added an EQ profile to correct the response to be closer to the Harmon target. These now sound smooth, crisp, and detailed. The soundstage is nice, and the response is totally neutral. A great value for the money when you properly adjust the settings, and now my primary listening device. P.S. - This is getting to be an expensive hobby, or is it actually rising to the level of an addiction? I got a Fiio BTR5 and a balanced cable and matched them to this. The balanced signal is much louder and the output level is comparable to other headphones now. I can't tell if it made the sound quality better over the single ended 3.5 connection, but it certainly didn't make it worse, and louder is better, am I right?

Attention! I want to warn you in advance that this review is purely my subjective opinion, and your feelings may differ significantly from mine. I received them a little over a month ago, and in that time I've had time to test them in many aspects and cases. Let's break it down in order. Design. The design of this pair is quite simple and minimalistic. There are no unnecessary details, everything looks simple and beautiful. The headband is made of eco-leather, the ear cushions are covered with leather only on the edges. The part that adjoins the head is covered with fabric, which is quite comfortable and pleasant. The holders that connect the headband and the cups are made of metal, while the cups themselves, although similar to metal, are made of plastic and painted in silver color. Most likely, this was done to lighten the weight of the headphones, as all-metal earcups would have made them quite heavy. Wearability. There are no questions about the comfort of the ear cushions. They fit comfortably and feel soft. The weight of the headphones without the cable is 390 grams. It is not very much, but it creates some inconvenience because of one serious problem of this model. It's a terrible headband. If you look at other HIFIMAN models, such as the HE400i or Ananda, you'll see that they have a large pad under the headband that carefully distributes the weight of the headphones. In this model, HIFIMAN decided to abandon such a design, and as a result - the headphones are just terrible pressure on the head. I personally can wear them no more than 30 minutes. If you wear them longer, your head starts to hurt quite a bit and you have to shift the headphones forward or backward to relieve the pressure on your head. In my opinion, this is the single and Worst flaw of this model. It forced me to resort to modification, and make soft pads that are attached between the head and the headband. Sound. These headphones are $100, and for that price, they just have a delightful sound. They sound quite smooth. Some people may think that they have little bass, and they would be partly right, because the headphones have an open design (which means that the sides of the earcups let most of the sound out, as well as letting all the ambient sound in). The headphones have planar magnetic drivers, which give not powerful and accurate bass, as it happens in the case of dynamic headphones, but vague and “pumping”. This can be partially solved by equalizer, but it will not give a full perception (but it is still a matter of preference). High frequencies are airy and bright, and in my opinion do not require equalization. I was also pleased with the stage width of these headphones. For the price, I'd say they have the widest stage I've ever heard. All instruments are very accurately positioned in space and well separated from each other. By the way, I should add: I didn't like the positioning of sounds in games (especially competitive ones). I can rate the positioning at 5 out of 10. I must also add that the headphones are quite demanding on the sound source. They need a good amplifier. I use a Topping L50 and the DAC is a MOTU M4 card. This is more than enough. You can also use a simpler amplifier like the Topping L30. Its output power will also be enough to unlock the potential of these headphones. Additionally. I would also add that a lot of people don't like the sound of these headphones. I don't know why and what it can be connected with, as for most preferences it is considered to be close to ideal. So I would ask you to listen to them before buying them. I live in Azerbaijan and they are not sold here, so I bought them blind, but I was not disappointed. I have also heard about a lot of defective copies, but luckily I have been spared (at least for now).

Got these at the current price of $109. After looking at numerous brands and models, I couldn't believe there could possibly be a pair of planar magnetic headphones at this price. Yes, I read a lot of reviews beforehand, so I was wary given HIFIMAN's reputation of late. Based on all this information, I also ordered a replacement cable and a cheap ($25) headphone amp to be safe. The pair I received came with the new, rubberized cable rather than the original braided cable that apparently had a lot of issues. I didn't have the amp the first day, so I did some initial listening without the amp. First off, the included cable works great. I've had no issues with it. While I consider myself an "audiophile" type, I've never owned a pair of headphones that cost more than around $150. I always thought they sounded good, but I've never used headphones a great deal. I decided to take the plunge and give these a try as I work from home and don't want to be waking up the rest of the family if I want to listen to music early in the morning. Yes, these are open-back, so there is tremendous leakage, but not like my bookshelf speakers filling the room. After less than a minute, I realized all the headphones I've used in the past were trash by comparison. These headphones immediately immersed me and I quickly found myself hearing things in the music that I've never heard before. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I did find that there is some material that my phone simply couldn't provide the power to drive the headphones to a good listening volume, so the external amp is definitely a necessity, but not in every case. After several days of listening, this is my overall impression. The bass response is quite good, but I will likely try the "remove the grille" hack to see how the sound differs. Bass response does drop off a bit at lower frequencies, but I'm not all about the rumble, so that doesn't bother me. Response on the high-end is great. For example, I can hear more of it as well as the transients that other headphones at this price can only dream about. My only complaint would be that the upper mid-range seems to be accentuated a bit. This isn't a problem most of the time, but due to this, some music tends to sound a bit less natural. Some have complained that the clamping force on these headphones is lacking. Yes, that is true, but since I'm typically sitting while listening, I don't consider that a problem. I also don't listen for long stretches at a time, and with that in mind I find these to be very comfortable. Having no experience with more expensive headphones, I'm sure stepping up a level or two would again blow me away (planar or not), but at this price I have absolutely no complaints.

I'm a headphone phanatic. I've owned dozens, currently have Grado SR80e and Meze 99 Classics and Bose QC 35; have owned Sennheiser, Beyerdynamics, Koss, more Bose...and Sony, Bose, Kleer, Klipsch, Sennheiser, Anker and other earbuds. So when I saw that I could own HiFiMan electrostatics for $109, i was psyched. I really don't need more headphones. My pup has seizures so it's not advisable for me to be wearing them (esp closed back) when my wife is sleeping with our dog in case she needs me....and i have tinnitus so I have to be careful about cranking them, but i love the sound, so when I get a chance, those are what I wear. I'm now talking over or on the ear phones, not buds. I knew that an amplifier is recommended with these, but as soon as I unboxed them I tried them with my Iphone. On max. They sounded nice, very clean, but it was obvious they needed more drive because bass and treble were lacking punch and presence, so I drove them directly from my Yamaha receiver. I figured I just losing my high end hearing because the treble was non existent. My go-to song when evaluating new phones is David Benoit's Cast your Fate to the wind. It's acoustic, it is magnificently produced and recorded, it has acoustic bass, it has sibilant cymbals, and there's a drum break which should sound like you are right there. so I gathered my Grado's and my Meze and listened to the song again and again. The Grado's are about $125 currently; the Meze range from $2-300 depending on the composition of the ear cups. Simply there was no comparison. The HiFiMan sounded nice, but presence, accuracy, bass, treble, just didn't compare to either. The cymbals sound repressed and distant. Almost so much that at times I couldn't hear them. I was truly wondering if my hearing was just deteriorating until I popped the Meze and Grado's into the amp. The Grado's are pretty much same price range, so I would suggest if you are looking in the low $100's just get the 80e's and you should be done. The Meze are a bit more, but roughly in the same overall price range - they aren't $500-8000 headphones. But they are astonishing. Gorgeous build and wonderful sound. Best I've ever heard....but....frankly not much difference from the Grado's. So I think if you remove the cache of the Meze it's a draw. And spoiler alert....the little wired Meze Classic 12 earbuds...are extraordinary and I am sad to say appear to be discontinued. So the HiFiMan's (men?) are going back. Nice phones, good deal, remember you'll need a headphone amp or drive them directly from an amp or receiver....but if you are looking for WOW sound in that price range (remember, the Grado's are only $15 more) get the Grado SR80e, support a Brooklyn family who have been doing that forever, and marvel at what $125 can sound like.

Upgraded to these from my Phillips Fidelio L2s because I wanted a better sound stage and instrument separation. They 100% delivered on my wishes. The sound stage and instrument separation is incredible. So many details that can be picked up. All the instruments are so crisp and clear. A few complaints to be wary of. None of this was enough to reduce my rating however it should be noted for those considering purchasing these. First of all, out of the box, the highs were a tad harsh. Things like the top of female vocals and other high-pitched noises were a bit painful to my ears. This was easily fixed with EQing, which I had planned to do anyway. However, I know some would not want to deal with EQing or do not believe in it. Secondly, It's pretty well known in the community that the grills on the back of the cans are too thick and impede the soundstage. This can be fixed with a pretty easy mod. I got a friend to 3d print me out some new grills from a design I found online. You can also make your own through other methods. Or I even found where someone was selling some nice grills for about 20 bucks online. googling and find you these things p quickly. The mod opens up the sound stage a lot. While I cannot speak for this as I do not own them, I have seen people say that this mod makes these equivalent or better to the Sundara's which are much more expensive. Have no idea the integrity of this information, however. But again I know some people won't want to do the mod. Third, If you like heavy bass these are not for you. The base is very much there and present but it's very weak. It's extremely crisp, clean, and smooth. The best way I can explain it in easy terms: These are really good for Rock and anything that goes softer than rock. I mostly got these for rock and orchestral and they sound great for those genres and many other genres. However, anything that goes harder than rock and has sick, nasty base won't sound right. Things like metal, EDM, techno, dubstep, etc. As for rap, it just depends on the song. If the song goes hard it probably won't sound right. If it's a chill beat it will sound pretty good. The bass is GOOD but it's just too crisp and clean to fit harder genres with thicc heavy bass.

The 400 SE is a steal at $109.00, The skinny is this headphone has a terrific tuning that is suitable for all genres and styles of recordings. The 400 SE is a lively headphone that is very enjoyable to listen to. The resolution is good enough, and the imaging is solid for a headphone at this price, or for considerably more. These little guys provide the apitomy of the classic planar sound as they give you a very satisfying slap and slam, and punch over their head in the mid-bass without sounding bloated. Kick drums sound fantastic on these which is a shortcoming of more expensive planars offered by Hifiman,. The cons are that the Soundstage is unnatural, albeit reasonably wide. There is no sense of layering or depth to speak of, but they in no way do they sound closed. The Arya and Ananda put the stage out in front, where the 400 SE presents like a straight line through your head. You get some width to the left and right, but the center image is very much an in-your-head experience. Oddly, they will image behind you slightly at times, but not in front. Detail retrieval is solid, although micro dynamics are a bit blunted, cutting off the trailing end of cymbals and trialing end of notes. You do get enough detail to get a sense of space and can feel like you are inside the room on a quality recording. This si a very minor quibble at this price. Comfort is also exceptional as these are lightweight and require almost no clamp. The headband design can feel a bit flimsy in your hands, but feels great on the head and disappears after a few minutes. All in all, this is an amazing buy and very enjoyable, even if you are spoiled on more expensive headphones. I have an Arya stealth but find myself listening to these as often due to superior tuning and a better sense of punch in the mid-mass. I do not feel like I am sacrificing much listening to Classic rock, in fact gaining a more visceral experience, where live studio recordings sound much more immersive and realistic on the Arya, but you are paying 1k extra for this. Anyway, if you have a decent amp and a $100, just buy them, you will not be disappointed.

Great headphone for those looking for an entry in to the world of planar. The stealth magnets are a huge improvement. The sound could be described as laid back and very natural but still resolving enough not to feel muddy. These headphones are also pretty easy to drive and actually sound fantastic on my ifi Zen Dac v2. This is despite the relatively high noise and low output power characteristic of the Zen Dac. While most headphones will produce a slight hiss, these are absolutely dead quiet. They are comfortable too and in my experience are not fatiguing even after hours of listening. I was lucky to not be a victim of the reported quality control issues and have not had any issues with my planar drivers thus far. The cable leaves a lot to be desired but honestly at this price I don't mind just buying a third party cable. Overall I absolutely cannot complain and as such they receive full commendation. In fact they were that good that I too caught the planar bug and ordered the Edition XS, if these blew my socks off I'm now very keen to see what I'm missing with the more advanced models.

Empezaré diciendo que hace poco empecé a interesarme en el mundo del buen audio. No voy a decir que soy "audiófilo" porque me parece un término irrelevante, soy alguien que ama la música más que cómo se escucha, aunque no significa que no me guste el buen audio. He pasado por los famosos (¿por qué?) AirPods, audífonos Bluethooth in-ear, Bluethooth con cancelación activa, JVC HARX700, Samson SR850 y desde hace 1 mes con estos Hifiman, sin duda, lo mejor que he escuchado por lejos. Los he escuchado con un DAC/AMP de la marca Ciglow comprado aquí en Amazon. El unboxing en general es simple, pero sólido. Venía muy bien empaquetado y protegido. Construcción: Bastante decente, no la mejor por este precio (Fidelio X2HR imbatibles en este aspecto), pero se siente muy bien. La headband es de piel sintética de buen tacto y el arco que une las copas a ésta es de metal. Las copas en sí son de plástico, pero para nada se sienten de mala calidad. Las mayas que protege el driver se sienten bastante firmes. Primero los compararé con los Samson y los Fidelio. Los Samson son muy buenos, pero tienen un espectro en V marcado y sin duda son sibilantes (frecuentemente tenía que bajar al volumen por los agudos) y al ser semi-abiertos el soundstage es algo limitado al igual que el imaging. Pese a esto, creo que por el precio que pagas es de las mejores opciones. Los Fidelio son maravillosos, la construcción es de lo mejor, el sonido es increíble; sus bajos y el soundstage son sorprendentes, además de super fáciles de alimentar (celulares sin problema). Sin duda una excelente opción. Pasé una tortura decidiendo entre los Fidelio o los Hifiman. Si estás en esta misma situación, déjame decirte que solo por situaciones específicas te recomiendo escoger los Fidelio y es 1: Si eres amante total del bajo y si 2: Rehúsas determinantemente comprar un DAC/AMP para los Hifiman. De ahí en fuera yo me quedo con los Hifiman, pero debo decir que me dolió dejar ir los Fidelio. Sonido: Estos Hifiman, fueron chocantes para mi. Nunca pensé que el audio (de música, películas y videojuegos) pudiera sonar de la manera que lo reproduce. Es el sonido más natural que he escuchado, los bajos aunque son menores que los Fidelio, son igual de profundos y mucho más rápidos (naturaleza de planares), y antes que pienses que es algo negativo, he de admitir que desde que tengo estos audífonos he tenido más interés en géneros como Electrónica o música Pop (que antes no escuchaba mucho). Los medios son lo mejor que he escuchado, y es sorprendente cuando vuelves a audífonos en V para comparar, donde generalmente quedan rezagados. Música acústica como Adele, Johnny Cash, Gipsy Kings se escucha asombroso. No tengo nada malo para los agudos, son extensos pero nunca se sienten sobrepasados o sibilantes. En general y en mi experiencia, TODO se escucha grandioso. El soundstage es estupendo, al grado de nunca saber con seguridad si mi TV está con el sonido encendido, y créeme, muchas veces me he asustado pensando que alguien me habló o que algo pasó, cuando en realidad era lo que estaba reproduciendo los audífonos. El imaging en música es igual de increíble, cierras los ojos y sabes donde están los instrumentos, y no me refiero solo a derecha o izquierda, sino a la derecha arriba, en medio o abajo, igual en el lado izquierdo, yendo hasta abajo mezclándose con los graves donde tienen su propia extensión dependiendo de qué tan profundos sean en lo que escuches, igual con los agudos. Incluso he llegado a sentir sonidos proviniendo de delante. Es difícil de explicar jaja, pero lo que si estoy seguro es que nunca he sentido que las frecuencias estén mezcladas o poco claras. En videojuegos es igual de genial, lo he probado primordialmente en Battlefield 5, ya que los Battlefield's tienen de lo mejor en audio. Y con estos audífonos es gloria pura, te sientes realmente dentro del videojuego por la naturaleza del sonido de los Hifiman, las explosiones no se sientes carentes, las pisadas, sea pasto, tierra, concreto se oyen reales y cercanas, los disparos son como deben de ser, estruendosos y muy satisfactorios, aviones pasando encima de ti o volando a lo lejos, sabes dónde ocurre. De nuevo, la mezcla de todo lo que he dicho en un videojuego como este es una gloria, pero no por eso son solo para juegos "competitivos", lo he probado con Detroit Become Human y se escucha igual de alucinante. En películas es igual de gratificante, las voces son súper claras y en pocas palabras, es como si estuvieras ahí. Amplificación: Siendo honesto no los uso con celulares, pero revisando rápidamente para esta reseña puedo decir que alcanza un volumen medio. Como los uso es conectando el DAC Ciglow a través de óptico a mi TV Hisense H8G y por USB a mi PC y en ambas alcanza un volumen alto, más que disfrutable. Dato extraño: Conectando este DAC al PS5 no alcanza un volumen alto, es muy deficiente así, pero directo al control si se escucha fuerte, sin embargo, el sonido cambia, se vuelve más "lodoso" o menos claro y los bajos se vuelven más invasivos. Por esto lo uso conectándolo a la TV y no directamente al PS5. Sin duda recomiendo tener o comprar un DAC/AMP para disfrutarlos al máximo. Empezando por lo menos negativo o "arreglable". -El cable con el que viene es muy corto para mi gusto y es francamente horrible, plasticoso, se enreda como resorte. Yo solucioné esto comprando el cable NewFantasia en Amazon de Estados Unidos (sale más barato). Vale mucho la pena comprar este cable. -Las pads son más que decentes, la verdad, sin embargo soy algo exigente en la comodidad, y las pads son algo delgadas, el agujero donde van tus orejas es algo pequeño y el velour que usan no es el felpudo como las almohadillas TRANSTEK, sino rugoso como las Brainwavz (que no soy muy fan) y llegan a dar picor. Yo solucioné esto comprando las pads Defean (de nuevo en Amazon de Estados Unidos) de cuero real y con el anillo ya incluido, esto si es caro ($1331) pero si eres como yo, créeme son de lo mejor y lo más cómodo (y huelen delicioso). Llegamos a lo que para mí es lo más negativo (ni tanto, pero bueno) -La Headband pese a que mencioné positivamente la sensación del cuero, tiene una espuma que se siente bien en la mano cuando la presionas, pero al principio es dura, necesitas aflojarla con las manos antes de usarla por un tiempo o con el uso mismo. Sin embargo, a mi me sigue molestando un poco después de unas 2 horas, lo único que tienes que hacer cuando pase esto es adelantarla o hacerla ligeramente hacia atrás de tu cabeza aprovechando que es delgada. Esto junto con que el plástico en el que acaba (donde viene Hifiman y el modelo) que se siente un poco barato, es lo más negativo. Creo que si hubieran decidido un sistema de banda de suspensión como los Fidelio o los Samson hubieran sido PERFECTOS. Pero bueno, nada en esta vida lo es.

I am using this to listen to records. I am not a audiophile but it sounds as good as listening directly from the speakers.

These really do offer a wonderfully clear and detailed sound at a low price. They are very well made too. They do take a bit of power to get to a decent sound level. A bit heavy but comfortable.

Muito be construído. Médios excelentes. É interessante ter um amplificador para headphones.
