The new HE6se is a return to the days of the legendary HE6.  One 

of the early HIFIMAN models that solidified HIFIMAN’s reputation 

as a world leader in Planar Magnetic technology.  The legend is 

reborn with the same driver and all its phenomenal musical talent 

but with a modern twist.  The new HE6se retains all the old sonic 

performance of its illustrious predecessor but makes use of 

HIFIMAN’s latest headband for both a more comfortable fit and 

increased robustness.  It also makes use of our latest design in 

headphone connectors for better connectivity, cable swapping 

ease and increased longevity.

The HIFIMAN HE6se is an open backed headphone with a planar 

magnetic driver which offers an impressive frequency response 

range, from 8Hz to 65 KHz and with all the spectacular dynamic 

range the old HE6 was renowned for.

Sonically the HE6se shares the same HIFIMAN level of resolution 

and even-handed sonic performance across the acoustic 

spectrum that you have come to expect.  Smooth and highly 

extended at both ends, with their potent driver lows can reach 

deep into the depths for a full and robust bass response while it 

offers soulful, expressive mids and delicately scintillating treble.

The HE6se necessitates being used by a narrow range of sources, 

demanding a recommended 2 watts per channel or more to allow 

it to achieve its fullest musical potential, only the most capable of 

headphone amplifiers will do.  With its Impedance of 50Ohms and 

sensitivity of only 83.5dB.  It is also possible to use a speaker
