It has been several years since the predecessor of the Hifiman HE6se, the HE6, was released. At that time, Hifiman was virtually unknown in the audio industry. Nevertheless, the HE6 became a reference headphone for many experts. Both the press and customers praised it for its extraordinarily good price-to-sound ratio. The sound signature and wide dynamic range have been preserved in the HE6se by using the same drivers. The HE6se offers a coherent, absolutely clean sound profile with robust, precise bass, soulful, expressive mids, and silky smooth highs. We especially recommend the Hifiman HE6se to lovers of analog sound.

Hifiman has designed the HE6se to be timelessly elegant and ergonomic. The robust, comfortable headband is lightweight and easily adjustable in size. The ear cups are made of metal. The angled ear pads ensure optimal weight distribution for maximum comfort even after hours of listening enjoyment. The high-quality headphone cable, which is 2 meters long, is made of monocrystalline copper and monocrystalline silver and is symmetrically constructed. It is covered with a silicone sheath that is virtually resistant to body noise and does not tangle. The cable connects to the headphone via two sturdy 3.5 mm stereo jacks. On the input side, there is a 4-pin XLR connector for balanced outputs. A 4-pin XLR to 6.3 mm adapter cable is included, allowing the HE6se to be connected to a 6.3 mm socket. This makes the headphone usable with any amplifier – balanced or unbalanced. To fully unleash the potential of the HE6se, a powerful headphone amplifier is recommended.
