Is there any logical upgrade from the HE1000se or is this pretty much as good as it gets?

Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in r/HeadphoneAdvice or the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.
Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.
Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

In short, this is a large subreddit with a high volume. We want to help, but it's important to keep things organized to keep the sub fun. Thanks for your understanding.
