HIFIMAN HE-R9 Review 

The ear shelf are designed like those of the legandary Sony R-10, a 5000 USD headphone 35 years ago. After the Sennheiser Orpheus the next league of headphones. Now you get the HE-R9 for 109 USD. It's the best bargain ever for headphones in the price segment under 500 USD. I've bought two HE-R0 three weeks ago. And I'm very very happy.

I have a pair, they work pretty well with Rap and modern R&B. They can almost have a subwoofer type effect, like a car stereo. They can also interject some extra low end into older tracks that weren’t mixed with much sub energy. Sometimes I wish they had more upper mid presence though, I end up turning them up too loud because my ears want to hear those frequencies. They aren’t my preferred tuning but I keep them around for reference.

It seems like I have a new favorite reviewer. Not only that I feel that I can trust you completely (tired of all the shilling and overdone hype in the reviewing scene), but your opinions perfectly mirrored mine for 4 headphones I've owned in the past. I may not afford a +$1000 pair any time too soon, but I will make sure to stay tuned to your channel just in case I'll put my life together some time in the future. Excellent work! I hope you'll keep uploading content.

It's cool that it can be turned into a bluetooth headphone as well if you get the R2R bluetooth dongle as well

we are waiting for your analysis on the WOO WA8

I have these along with several other headphones….they compare with the Sivga SV021 Robin….both extremely fun headphones. The SV021 are warmer and female vocals sound better. These R9s are richer with better soundstage and presence.

Got mine 4 days ago, agree with all the words u said but.. If I want more subbass which should I go Z7m2 or Argon MK3 or anything else? THANK for helpful advice!!

Hey. If you pair this headphone with warm bassy amp will it sound fine will it be too bassy and bloated?

It's a better option than Sundara closed back?

How is Isolation!????

Can a fiio btr7 power these?

Does it scale with better amps?

Hello Why nobody compare this with similar tuning meze 99 classics but compare this with openback headphones....tell me which is more balanced sound and better quality of sound...which is better of this two in all score for you? Thanks

Nice

I have Fostex th x00 and wonder if these will sound as good or better then my fostex ?

Review meze 109pro and compare it with caldara

Review Sennheiser ie 600

Would you consider this a good upgrade to the Meze 99 Classic?

低频下潜怎么样

The shape is pretty wild but I actually don't mind it.

I wonder how many people won't buy these simply because of the weird design. I know it's petty but they look really goofy which you mentioned in your review. A closed back to me is something I should able to take with me out in public and hopefully not look completely weird and these definitely don't fit that bill lol.

Which Tube amp is behind you?

If you want a hear variety of good bass check out my Bass playlist.

I think the most stupid looking headphone you’ve worn (or anyone for that matter) is the Abyss AB1266 Phi TC
