The headset we are going to talk about today is an entry-level cheap flat-panel diaphragm headset: HIFIMAN HE400se.

| Planar diaphragm and hearing experience
Below the huge unit is the sound structure of the flat diaphragm. Maybe the average enthusiast has less contact with the flat diaphragm. Our ordinary users are more exposed to the dynamic driver. The so-called “flat diaphragm” is simply a thin sheet. The principle of the diaphragm vibration is to evenly distribute the conductor layer on the surface of the diaphragm. When the diaphragm of the plane configuration is driven by electromagnetic force, the force is more uniform than that of the cone structure of the moving coil, so the sound loss is smaller and at the same time The diaphragm thickness is very thin, and the analytical power is significantly improved compared to dynamic.
Because of the configuration characteristics of the flat diaphragm, the HIFIMAN HE400se headset is an open design, which also makes the sound of the unit more transparent and atmospheric. Compared with the closed earphone, the sound field advantage of the open earphone is self-evident and more The large sound field and transparent sound give people a comfortable sense of hearing. The sound will not be reflected too much because of the closed design, and the sound will be more pure.
Using the DAC mode of HIFIMAN R2R2000, when the front is connected to a mobile phone or PC, the deep potential of the HIFIMAN HE400se can be fully developed. The HIFIMAN player can be used with the HIFIMAN player to drive the HE400se headset easily. The clear and bright sound is the most impressive thing about the HIFIMAN HE400se. In part, the large sound field performance brought by the flat diaphragm is also particularly amazing.
The flat-diaphragm unit headset will have more advantages when listening to some large-scale compilation songs. The image positioning of the musical instrument is very accurate, and it can hear more layers, and at the same time, the amount of information expressed is greater. Because of the shortcomings of dynamic headphones, the performance should be more balanced.
The frequency response range of HIFIMAN HE400se is: 20Hz~20kHz, impedance is only 25Ω, and sensitivity is 91bB, so it is an easy-to-drive earphone. This performance surpasses the quality of the previous generation of flat-diaphragm headphones, even if it is the mainstream Compared with dynamic headphones, it is also easier to drive. When the mobile phone is connected, the volume is already very loud when the volume reaches 70%. You can also get a good listening experience directly connected to the mobile phone.
In addition, the open design, the sound field performance of the sound is very good, suitable for listening to vocals and large-scale music, its high-frequency performance is a part I personally like very much, the performance of the middle and low frequencies can also meet the needs of hearing, especially the middle frequency The sleek and full, compared to the previous generation of flat-diaphragm headphones, there is a certain improvement.
