RE: Balanced confusion in high end audio

I love the HiFiMan HE6se V2 headphones. I got an open box set for $609 2 years ago. Now you can get a refurbished pair for $369.

I'm a long time Magnepan listener and when I lost my listening room temporarily I looked for planar headphones to fill in. I like the tonal balance of the HE6se, and they have great bass and dynamics. They are very comfortable to wear but they take a little extra power for listening levels I like. As a reference, I tried driving them with my Samsung phone and couldn't quite get to the level I wanted. The Schiitt Magni+ worked fine to drive them, but I went to the Jotunheim 2 for the extras it offers.

I keep meaning to post my impressions of my headphone system but haven't quite put finger to keyboard yet...

Regards,

Steve
