HiFiMan HE1000 Unveiled Review – How Fricking High, HiFiMan?

How do you decide what is the absolute best high-end headphones you can get without reaching ridiculous prices like $4,000, $6,000, or even $8,000? Do you look at their durability, comfort level, and sensitivity so you can drive them with what you already have at home? How about its subjective performance? Do you read about the technology used when crafting such headphones? Check online reviews to gather subjective opinions, and consider how resolving they are and how wide or expansive their soundstage can be. Perhaps you yearn for a natural tonality that suits a wide range of musical genres, or you want to enjoy movies or play games with them while retaining all the attributes of high-end headphones.

You know what? I want all of that too, but for a long time, such a pair didn’t exist – until HIFIMAN revealed a redesigned HE1000 Unveiled, which costs less than its predecessor while improving on its flaws. Let’s check their performance in the usual fashion and then add a few comparisons for good measure in this video review.
