HiFiMan HE-1000 Headphones vs Reference Speakers ?
I just found out about this (today), they are some new headphones that just came out (AudioQuest NightHawk $600) that a Audio Writer said is even BETTER than the hifiman he-1000's!!... https://www.facebook.com/JohnMauriceCrossettIii/posts/303608523096082:0 |
The review of the Audioquest Nighthawk phones is flawed. The reviewer admits that he is really a speaker guy, has AKG 701 phones as his go-to phones and warns not to critically listen for 150-200 hours minimum (for break-in). I love headphones, but an hour a day is plenty. That means six months before I'm comfortable comparing the Nighthawks to my Stax or even the Hifiman HE-1000 that they compete with. At $600 the Nighthawks are probably a bargain, but I'll stick with my Stax or spring for the Hifiman HE-1000 if I want a change. |
