Hifiman Comparison: He1000v2 vs Arya SE vs HE6SEv2

Pretty good shoot out here. I’ve got the HE6SEv2, which you know I’m a fan of, the Arya Stealth Edition (thanks to Hifiman), and a HE1000v2 (thanks to a friend of the channel). They are all wonderful headphones, but I think the overall winner is the HE1000 (I have sense purchase one, that probably tells you what you need to know). Check out the vid for more details.
