HIFIMAN - HE1000 Stealth Magnet

I'm going to say no based on the following selection of headphones that I own: Dynamic: Verite Open, Focal Elegia, Beyerdynamic T5/3rd generation and HD650, Planar: DCA E3, DCA Noire, Hifiman HE1000 Stealth, Audeze LCD-2f. IEMs: FiiO FH7s, Westone Mach 40; earbuds: Galaxy Buds Pro 2, Galaxy Buds Pro 3, Jabra Elite Active 8, Sennheiser True Momentum 4, Bose QC II, Bose QC Ultra and ANC headphones Bose NC700, Bose QC Ultra, Sony XM5 and B&W Px8.

My favorite headphones are the meze elite, and they share a lot of similarities to the 105 aer as said in another comment. Other headphones I tend to enjoy on the daily are hd560s, hd6xx, dt1990 and the he1000 stealth. Although as I said, the 105 aer tends to be my daily pick. They sound amazing and are very comfortable! Edit: forgot about music. It depends somewhat on the headphone. The meze elite is very fun with movie scores and big symphonies, but on the daily i listen to anything from ásgeir to some Ren. 105 aer works for it all.

Agree. Have some he1000v2. Absolutely love the speed of the bass.

It's currently a tossup between my HE1000 Stealth and Empyrean II. Love them both for very different reasons

Fun can w too much bass and treble for me.  HEK Stealth and Arya U both better as is a refurbed or used HE-6 SE or SE 2.

I'm so happy for you....that I'm smiling ear to ear with my HEKSE (with ZMF perforated lambskin pads).....

I have the HE1000 Stealth which isn’t identical but as understand it quite similar and I would say yes absolutely. Some people seem to feel the egg shaped hifimans lack slam but that isn’t my experience.

Hifiman Arya Organic + Topping DX3 Pro+ or Topping DX5 II if you want something with a screen and more power. make sure to turn down the highs and turn up the bass with an eq. Ez pz, just a low shelf at 100 and a high shelf at 10k-15khz depending on your tastes. After that just enjoy. I'm using something extremely similar to the Organic, the HE1000 V2 Stealth with a Topping DX5 II, it's my endgame. With a 7 db bass boost it makes my head numb and it has enough details/separation to make me go sometimes "zamn", but with my own eq it's just a very "good" set. I dont look for a "wow" factor, I just want great quality reproduction if that makes sense. If you want a wow factor, you certainly can do that with eq, these headphones take EQ really well. My recommendations : Hifiman Arya Stealth + Topping DX3 Pro+ (minimum) Hifiman Arya Organic + Topping DX5 II (Maximum) Depending on where you live and the local pricing, things may be in or out of budget but if possible, the last stack is literally endgame. I can't stress how nice it feels to have endless amounts of power on tap. I've listened to headphones costing 4000 USD (LCD-5) and they're not significantly better. Better, yes, but not what the price would suggest at all. The Arya Organic is literal endgame. If money is tight right now, get the Organic and a little TRN Black Pearl with balanced cables and then upgrade to the Topping DX5 II later on. After that just call it quits. Other headphones do some things better but not all of them. Whereas the Susvara will be a genuine upgrade in all aspects by 5-25% but it costs 5-10x more. Diminishing returns.

Beautiful collection. I think Focal Clear OG, HD800, HE1000 series and LCD-3 have stood the test of time. The Atrium are said to be beautifully crafted. I'd want to give the Atrium open and closed a listen one of these days.

I own he1k and have tried susvara and tbh I don’t think they’re worth it, when you compare with things like he1k SE or unveiled. My unveiled pair has all the detail and soundstage I got when I tried out susvara, but is able to give me a really good punch on the low end with a slight eq and no muddyness, if you do think you wanna upgrade from the organic I’d definitely recommend seeing if any of the he1k pairs fit your style
