I briefly head these headphones at the 2015 AXPONA, would have listened more but it was the end of the day. Really regret not going back and listening more. These planer magnetic headphones, have extra ordinary detail and clarity. I thought the really stood out even against other planer type headphones, like Oppo, Audeze, Kingsound. Some quotes from Hifi Plus: "Next the HE1000 uses a very powerful but also-and this is important-sonically transparent 'double-sided, asymmetrical magnetic circuit'. The stated goal was to achieve 'the optimum balance between high-driver efficiency and high sound quality." It would be cool if someday HiFiMan takes their technology and were to make a full range loudspeaker. However that speaker would be really expensive, as these heaphones are $3k, yikes! FYI, I am not really a HeadPhone type of guy, and they really impressed me. So I would recomend any audiophile, music lover, etc,,, to try these out.
