Planar Magnetic Drivers

Planar magnetic drivers combine characteristics of several driver types. They employ magnetic fields akin to dynamic and balanced armature drivers. However, planar magnetic drivers, like electrostatic drivers, use a flat, thin diaphragm in contrast to a coil. The planar drivers are known for their quick transient response.

Open-Back Design

Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.

However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.

These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.

Replaceable Cables

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

Needs Amplification

Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.

Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.

To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.

Description

HiFiMAN is a market leader in high-end headphones and takes great pleasure in continuously enhancing sound quality. One of the top personal audio brands is HiFiMAN, which was established in New York by the owner Dr Fang. It is well known for its highly regarded Planar-Magnetic headphones with cutting-edge driver technology. A well-crafted HiFiMAN is known for keeping the heritage of the best Planar Magnetic Driver configurations through the years. HiFiMAN has been the powerhouse in producing Planar Magnetic Headphones. Following the same route, the all-new HE6se includes open-back circumaural drivers with unrivalled agility and power sensitivity. These Planar Magnetic drivers present a life-like audio experience.

The HiFiMAN HE6se is a no-compromise headphone that delivers a transparent and entirely natural representation of even the most complicated recordings, thanks to HiFiMAN's exclusive planar magnetic technology. The HiFiMAN HE6se headphones give a full-range sound with superb accuracy. Due to its open-back design, the HiFiMAN HE6se boasts good soundstage and imaging capabilities and exudes depth and space. There is not a single whisper that escapes the HE6se, that delivers a fully immersive listening experience. These headphones thrive everywhere and give any song a sense of depth and space. The result is an auditory odyssey rife with an exacting level of precision.

HiFiMAN HE6se is a demanding headphone that requires a lot of power, so it's critical to link it with an amplifier that can deliver at least 2 watts per channel. The 3.5mm connections are placed at a 10-degree angle to alleviate pressure and ensure a secure connection. This architecture provides a more stable and durable physical connection, for optimal signal transmission with near-zero signal loss, HE6se includes a crystalline copper and crystalline silver cable. The cable ends in an XLR balanced connector with a removable adaptor for use with a 6.35mm output. The wire is linked somewhat toward the front of the ear cup, which makes it easier to discern left and right with the correct channel orientation.

HiFiMAN HE6se over-ear design provides optimum comfort to the listener. For unmatched comfort over long listening sessions, the HE6se includes HiFiMAN's proprietary FocusPad with memory foam surrounded by leather and soft velour outer layers that gently envelope the ear. The Hybrid Headband is lighter and adjustable for maximum comfort, even for hours of listening. The earpads on the HE6se are symmetrical and have a secure fit to the shape of the human ear, which distributes weight evenly.

SOUND

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.
