Another thing worth mentioning is Sennheiser did recover this unit and they have plans to repair it 😄
Imagine if they recover it with kintsugi.
@@inzaniatelcontar4600 Fuuuuuuuuck! It end up being absolutely unreachable!
Wish someone had done a tear down video on it. Would love see a schematic of it.
@@joshuafalken3312 Sennheiser would DMCA and cease and desist so quickly.
For that price, it better have a lifetime warranty.
Thanks so much for having me! I am still having a hard time articulating how insane that experience was 🤯
Reminds me of the collab DMS did with LTT and the Abyss Diana. It's wild how insane audio equipment can get.
@@TheKazragore A classic!
Your reaction was worth it :)
"This was stolen."
"By you?"
That had me rolling 😂
full circle... with josh in the background 🤓
It's the beginning of the Audiophile Cinematic Universe
Is this official sennheiser account? I need to chat to someone who knows the architecture of the HDVD800
LOL Josh sticking his head out from the side both surprised and cracked me up! 😂
DMS really stepping it up recently
Man I actually laughed out loud when you said 'I'm gonna go turn my camera off' haha some quality acting there DMS! 3:01
When Josh popped his head out for a second near the end I loled, great video all around
Fix the marble! You know... kintsugi style 😂
This came out fantastic! Thanks for sharing this story and the prank was awesome.
Dan you are a trooper! Thx for sharing your [iNsAnE] experience with us.
I tried them at Sennheiser's HQ in Germany. It was amazing. You can easily pinpoint every instrument and the soundstage is so expansive, it really feels like you're there. I've never heard anything that compares.
The marble can still be repaired even w/ missing chunks. Theres epoxy and marble repair guys that can make it looks almost new again
and ramen
They said it wasn't working.
Yeah and if they keep it as a demo unit, I think that would be perfectly fine.
Any impact that caused the marble to break will also break the sensitive electronics inside. that tube Amp isn't made to be moved around.
the HE1 headphone itself tho, if the case is properly padded all around, should be fine, that's the one DMS used to listen along, two HE1 together probably.
@@MuhammadKharismawan I feel like even those could also all be repaired if they just find the compoents and replace them, the only thing that I assume cant be replaced easily are the tubes themselves if any of them are broken. They could have been one off production from Senn, and we're still in a tube shortage 2023
Update* DMS said Senn is going to repair it
Joshua is lucky there's only circumstantial evidence.
So at CanJam Chicago the Sennheiser rep in the HE-1 room was telling me that DMS was going to be doing some HE-1 content on his channel soon, so I was very excited to finally see this and the other review video he did a couple of weeks ago, and one of the interesting features the rep was pointing out was that the HE-1 unit has a second headphone output in the back so you could listen to two of these headphones at the same time on the unit. He told me that DMS was going to be doing this and I kept wondering where the hell they got the second headphone, so it's interesting to see how that came to be. Such a heartbreaker to see that beautiful marble broken! It's such a fantastic system. Sennheiser rep told me that the marble not only looks beautiful, but it's also there to minimize any vibrations, so even if that broken unit would still work, it's severely compromised in potential performance, not only in appearance. 😢
Thanks for coming to see us (and Eric) at CanJam!
Yes… the marble was chosen because it’s super dense! Like Dynamat and mass-loaded-vinyl for your car/soundproofing a room, but taken to the extreme.
Wow I hope they catch the thief with all that investigation
I think I might have spotted the thief lurking in the background at the end of the video 😂😂
👀
6:39 you’re welcome! 😂
Edit: and 7:06
What???
This is an awesome video.
At some point in my life I need to listen to the HE1.
That just has to happen!
Love collabs. THis was an epic one!
I genuinely appreciate that you displayed the songs they were playing. I enjoyed Jesse's music selections. It would be fantastic to know what you're currently listening to as well.
By far, the best moment if this video was seeing Josh's head peeking out of the corner 😂 That was brilliant!
Awesome video…I like the breakaway from the standard vidz
AHHHH MY EYEBALLS! Oh Joshua is there, no wonder my eyeballs are burning with light.
I will own this system someday…I have to own this lol. This was a great video
*4:29* caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting that. That dude ain't right, man. That's jacked up. 🤣
DMS with another banger of a video.
The "I'm going to turn the camera off" sold it for sure.
saw the pic on twitter :D
when arya organic upload btw? ;o
how do you compare arya organic to arya v1 or v2? is the soundstage and vertical height/depth way better on arya v1 v2 still?
how does ananda nano vs arya organic vs xs go for soundstage and vertical height/depth?
also if anyone had the arya v1 v2 are they really bright? or can you fix that somehow?
Could you make a video recommending smaller and portable bluetooth speakers that can also be used for a computer setup like the Marshall Emberton and Bose SoundLink Flex? Thanks
The minute I saw the dad hat of Jesse driftwood, I watched the whole video😊
Hello Sir ,
WHat would you recommend in todays date?? if I want something similar/Better to BLON 03 sound.
I love my Blon -03, i love its Design Sound and Fitting... and my friends too love them.
(I don't like Harsh high ends, but I do like Bass but Not Overpowering, Blon -03 reallly opened up the way i listen to music)
NO WAY A BUCKET OF JAKE COLLAB WITH DMS!!
Are you going to post a review on the Arya Organic?
Aune X8 Magic Dac
Aune X7s Pro (Waiting hasn't arrived yet)
Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee
I think this is currently my best Headphone setup I've got... I also run my Power Amp Rotel RB850 for my Elac BS243.3 speakers with that X8 DAC.
Everyone knows joshua valour stole them
Testing the headphones with TesseracT.... Exactly what I'd pick. So hyped for the new album.
And clown core? Guys havs good taste.
lol, Stoked or the new album, too
That's kinda the best way someone can prank you lol. And great choice with iFi Zen stack, for me it is the ultimate Sennheiser HD6 series "fixing" combo :) You want more bass or make it more spacious so basically improve both its weaker sides? No problem, there are buttons just for that :)
Listening to Clown Core on HE1 is my personal bucket list item. This was a fun video, cheers!
I would not have been able to resist the temptation to rig the box so it makes a loud noise on opening it to trick them into thinking they broke it 😁
Man I love when you name a song that you are super into “ Pizza boy “ I’ve never heard this song before and my mind just shot out my pant legs !! Now I got some clean up to do ! Keep up the great work boys?
I gave Pizza Boy a listen after hearing you guys talk about it and now I can't stop listening to it. What a banger
Where is the RME ADI2 video. Been waiting months now.
LORD........that amount of responsibility would put me in an early grave
thx for sharing
Adrianne Lenker? Good taste. I always listen to her songs when I get a new set in.
Wondering what the speed of sound coming out of the HE1 is? 👀
I hope someday I get to listen Simulation Swarm on a high end rig
A random Josh appears!
DMS..Prank Time! Thanks Much!++👺
Personally, I'm still not over your squeaky chairs.
Looks like someone dropped it when it was stolen hence the broken marble
Should have let them touch it first. Then said. "These are actually stolen. The cops are coming. And your finger prints are on it"
Did you try gaming with these?
I ❤ you guys for listening to Everything Everything!
ayyyy you got bucketofjake on!

Dirtbag flips stolen HE-1 for 20k then cant be bothered spending a few hundred dollars to ensure that it arrives intact : Jesus wept. Hopefully there is an entirely different 'delivery van' in his future - the kind where two guys with balaclavas jump out and remove him from the sidewalk - it would be doing society a favour.
Honestly hilarious 🤘
holy, This is the same he1 I listened to in Seattle😂
most likely!
Ha ha good one…I guess UPS got to ship this one..
Joshua randomly video bombing..
TesseracT. Man has taste.
listening to death grips on the he1
Was the mannequin he was describing a measurement rig? Lol
🎯
The background sounds more realistic than the hulk moment from Twitter.
....or maybe not?
Content-wise, 2nd stolen pair appeared from this channel since EL-8 I assume?
I had forgotten all about the stolen EL8! That was so long ago haha
I've NEVER clicked-on a video faster. 😮
thanks for fun
so you've got 2nd pair of cans to listen together?
Everything Everything, Jack White and Clown Core‽ Am I secretly Jake?
I’ll keep your secret
I tought it was just an amplifier
It's a whole set tho
Yo bro review the phone 2!
Working on it 😄
@@DMS3TV you are good man !
If you brake a HE1 you do go to hell...
Ur going to hell for that spelling 😡 JKJK
@@ravantgarde1899Give me a brake it's been a long day....😊
🫡
@@chefsteve8381 braking down the schedule like a boss
how close does this and the susvara sound...
wonderful...!!!
Clown Core!
Well, if Sennheiser is interested in selling that unit still, I'll buy it as-is
The broken unit is fully toast unfortunately. I tried 😅
I've got dibs. 😂
@@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices Damn 😜
@@eskamobob8662 Ugh, that's such a shame! I was really hoping it was just cosmetic 😞
@@eruilluvitar, I'm sure it is repairable (although it would probably be prohibitively expensive to fix).
for this much money you could have live performance instead
I dare you to EQ an HE-1
whynot just supeglue back the broken marble? asking in all seriousness.
What does MacGyver mean?
MacGyver is a verb meaning "to make, form, or repair (something) with what is conveniently on hand."
Where did MacGyver come from?
MacGyver (pronounced \muh-GHYE-ver\) is the name of an action-packed television show that ran from 1985 to 1992. It was subsequently syndicated for a time and even adapted into a movie, followed by a television series reboot in 2016. The eponymous protagonist, whose first name is Angus, is a secret agent (played by mullet-haired American actor Richard Dean Anderson in the original version) who uses his ingenuity and encyclopedic knowledge of science to get himself out of predicaments and to defeat the "bad guys." Episode after episode, MacGyver uses whatever items are available to him-often simple ones, such as a paper clip, chewing gum, or a rubber band-to improvise a way to escape a sticky situation or to make a device to help him complete his mission. He always has his Swiss Army knife and some duct tape on hand, too-just in case.
How is MacGyver used?
Regular viewers of the show were drawn to MacGyver's ingenious thinking and improvised methods and contraptions. Eventually, people began associating his name with making quick fixes or finding innovative solutions to immediate problems. Early evidence of the verb MacGyver goes back to the 1990s, but it was likely used colloquially in the late 1980s.
Send it back to Sennheiser, for you know, service.....
Weird prank
So let be guess. This busted he1 system will somehow find it's way back to you for future content perhaps? I would be curious is this system is salvageable or at what cost.
Indeed we will document the refurbishment 👍
@@sennheiser Oh, that would be so nice! Thanks a lot for documenting the refurbishment! I really like seeing modded/repeared amplifiers and headphones! (reminds me of the SuperDupont Resonator for example :'))
makes you wonder why they don't make a lower priced version.... it could be an easy task...
Yeah, without all the theatrics, marble, and motorized gubbins, but still using the same electronics. I wonder just how much all of that adds to the cost over a strictly function-first design.
It's a common question we get but when it comes time to write the check, you'd be surprised how many money-is-no-object commenters are suddenly quiet.
A) Good
B) Fast
C) Affordable
...which two of the above three would you accept?
@@sennheiser I think if you can make one that sounds better than the Susvara and even at the same price you could sell quite a few...
tried the HE1's for like an hour at a hifi shop... sadly it didn't have the same impact as other TH-cam that were tearing up from the music. Personally, the Focal Utopia's sounded better for me since the bass was amazing on it
Weird song selection, but well..
bruh
This makes no sense .... the best package for 1000$ is 1000$ headphones.
What are you gonna power them on with no amp or dac?
@@DMS3TV into the apple adapter, the laptop or the computer. It will still sound better than spending any money on the dac amp. He can buy that after the fact.
@@philipp594 some expensive headphones sure, but a good majority would be extremely quiet. Most planars basically out of the question.
And shouldn't someone who reviews and talks about music be using the universal reference standard? HD650 is in studios pretty much everywhere, and is almost universally loved in the audiophile community.
@@DMS3TV I dislike them. I think they are far from reference.
What kind of lazy criminal ships anything of value like that?😮
I've bought obsolete, obscure, worthless items (including headphones and electronics),
on eBay and the sellers packed them safe enough to probably survive a Formula One crash.
No joke: Bubble wrap, cardboard, plastic, newspaper, air cushions, all obsessively secured with an obscene amount of strong shipping tape inside and out, for something I paid $60 and sometimes much less.

Aren't you worried that you have a stolen unit?
Sennheiser brought it here after they recovered it
"Hey Jake - You reviewing music, you need a great headphone. Here, listen to this $60,000 unit - like it? Cool, here's a $300 pair instead!"
I honestly do not know how I would feel about this....
Don't worry he also listened to an HD650 earlier that day and loved it haha
I am so insanely grateful for the headphones
It's not everyday you get headphones. I'd feel inspired to start a business, or wait for an affordable sub $5k reference HE-1 minus the AMP goodies.
I think this is something that most secretly wish for. I know I do.
Most audiophiles can compartmentalize price tiers quite well. FWIW, @DMS3TV is quite generous. We did not ask him to give those HD 650 / iFi stacks away, he just does it out of love for the creator community and sound. Anyone who feels in a _lesser_ place after receiving a cool setup like that is an immediate 🚩
Really?? I'd be extremely grateful and appreciative. Holy moly, kids these days. Smh
If I can get close with the Modhouse Tungsten and a good amp & DAC pairing, I'll be happy. Tungsten's prettier imo anyway.
Joshua got thighs tho

No headphone should cost 60 grand ffs
I love how this is your only comment.
Is 100k the sweet spot?
Voshua Jalor
Man you guys need a better source than this crapy laptop.
?? It's USB. The digital signal doesn't care if it's a laptop, phone, tablet, etc
@@DMS3TV that is not true, the quality of the digital signal matters. Your laptop is noisy and was not built to be a proper audio source, that is why we have dedicated streamers your friend Cameron did a review of one and talked about this very issue.
@@blejzerosamigos6115 The laptop was not noisy. We were there.
@@sennheiser any laptop vs a simple streamer from ifi or bluesound node 2i sounds veiled, lacking detail etc. And you have the most expensive headphones there that will tell you everything about your signal chain.
But I'm not surprised by your reply because you don't even have proper amps for your hd600 series of headphones.
I attended Chicago canjam last month and not one OTL amp with your high impedance headphones... What a shame.
And your rep that was supposed to be THE GUY, told me" I'm not an audiophile I don't hear the difference between those headphones. 🤯
@@blejzerosamigos6115 The reason we don't show an OTL amp for the HD 600 series at our booth because we don't currently make one. It's no more complex than that.
Down vote only because Joshua Valour makes an appearance.
This Sennheiser headphone is really good but for 60000 more show as sound .
Is not worth it .
Its a luxury item. I sure as hell would rather the HE-1 than a Rolex watch.
@@Glenn056 Sorry, not sorry Rolex
Great video but my God I am always aww struck by the songs people pick when given this small chance to listen but there is no accounting for taste I suppose.
Dislike for that fake crying nonsense... come on, most of you can't hear beyond 15khz, I'm 1000% sure, so what are you pretending to be crying about? certainly not because of something special you hear... or is Sennheiser paying you good money to do it?
the video isn't sponsored.... Have you never been moved by music? Idk about you, but I can't fake crying.
Why are they using a generic power cord instead of the high-end AudioQuest Firebird? And why settle for a standard USB cable instead of the premium Nordost Valhalla 2 USB and interconnects? It's puzzling that they didn't include a power conditioner. It seems wasteful to invest $60k in this "system" without utilizing top-tier cables. They might not fully realize the potential of what they have.
We show the system in a variety of ways all the time. At CanJam Chicago we used a Kimber Kable IEC, at showrooms we often connect to multi-stage conditioners and with premium interconnects. Just checked the sky and there is no evidence of a rip in space-time as a result of using off-the-shelf components either.
@@sennheiser Snarky PR comments done right! Respect!
@@dangabriel4732 Just being honest - it sounds amazing with any combination you throw at it.
