I heard the Hifiman HE-1000 phones at the Newport and San Francisco audio shows. I think they are amazing! I'm still considering a purchase but hate to abandon my beloved Stax phones. But YES, I could live happily with a pair and a high-quality tube headphone driver unit. Also, I have heard them with digital music players, like the Sony HAP-Z1ES, and the sound quality is stunning.
HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?
One reviewer that listened to these headphones thought they sounded much more like his reference system! Sounded very un-headphone like!!...
Could this be a short-cut to Audio Nirvana!..
