It is also worth mentioning that it is unfair to compare the headphones of Senhai, Boya and AKG. In fact, the masterpieces of these headphones n years ago are only limited to the triangle strength, including the so-called K7XX series of AKG, the DTX series of Boya non-flagship series, and the headphones with suffixes such as DTX60, which can realize the sound at a price of 1,000 yuan. In contrast, it is estimated that headphones with big ears can get 100 yuan. Before it's too late, let's talk about the HE400SE stealth magnet version I recently started, which is called the enhanced version of HE400SE.
The word "invisible magnet" is actually not a simple propaganda term. Among HIFIMAN's many flat-panel headphones, SUSVARA, which costs 39,800 yuan, uses invisible magnet technology. When I watched SUSVARA's PPT at the press conference, I felt that the invisible magnet was to make the so-called grid behind it round and smooth, and after polishing and tuning, it provided better conditions for the realization of "high fidelity". This can be understood as more optimized cavity technology and tuning technology. Therefore, the invisible magnet version of HE400SE may be understood as the complete whole of HE400SE, but compared with HE400SE, the price is not much more expensive.
Personally, compared with the old version of HE400SE, the version of HE400SE stealth magnet is firstly an upgraded version of clarity, and some details are enlarged, especially in the high-frequency part, and more overtones will appear. The benefits of improving analytical ability and high-frequency overtones are obvious. Even if you are not a simple classical lover, some pop, jazz and pure music with good recording quality can also give you a feeling of improving the sound quality of one ear, more details and more full expression of the interpretation of the tracks.
On the other hand, the balance of the stealth magnet version of HE400SE has actually changed to some extent. For example, the old version of HE400SE has advantages in naturalness and looseness, but the sound field is not perfect. I think the intermediate frequency part of the old version of HE400SE is good enough, but its goodness is not like the creamy smell of AKG 70 1 or the thickness of Goethe, but closer to the immersion feeling of wearing a faucet earphone, but the advantage of openness is that, therefore, there are actually two different vocal evaluations on the old HE400SE earphone. For example, Shao You, a professor in the Chinese Department of Fudan University, and I both think that the old HE400SE is an excellent vocal music, and even the whole is perfect. And some people think it can be better because the old version of HE400SE has not been pushed yet, perhaps it is all a matter of taste and listening to the tracks.
In my opinion, although the intermediate frequency part of the old version of HE400SE is already very good, in contrast, the stealth magnet version of HE400SE is really a step up. With the improvement of the openness and texture brought by the sound field level, the human voice density and three-dimensional sense are undoubtedly more perfect. At the same time, HE400SE stealth magnet version is more inclined to upgrade the overall explosive power and power grade. With the improvement of details, this earphone reshapes the sound frame and further enhances the deductive ability of human voice density. It can be said that the old version of HE400SE and the invisible magnet version of HE400SE actually need higher quality and more balanced front-end drive. The high-resolution front end can easily handle all kinds of music.
Is the HE400SE stealth magnet edition worth about 800 yuan? It can be said that the sound style of this earphone is indeed a product that conforms to the concept of public listening. Different from the earphones such as Alice M 1 that simply pursue the density and thickness of human voice, and the "rigorous" earphones such as DT880, the sound of the invisible magnet version of HE400SE can be very pleasant and profound without excessive thickness, with both analytical power and naturalness, and the sound quality is indeed half a grade higher than that of the old version of HE400SE. It really seems to be a more perfect product under the understanding of HIFIMAN's "listening concept" in recent years. The overall balance and resolution show that it has created a cost-effective appearance of a flat-panel earphone within 1,000 yuan. At least as mentioned above, it is impossible for me to have the energy to play the flagship of the old European dynamic circle. On the premise of low investment and direct push or stage, HE400SE and HE400SE stealth magnet versions are definitely a good choice for new burning and initial burning
