Product Description:

  • World’s First Diaphragm in Nanometer Thickness: In the HE1000, the film we use is so thin, it is a diaphragm in nanometer thickness which is a breakthrough core technology developed by HIFIMAN and first of its kind in headphone application. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging yet the successful incorporation of this film as the HE1000’s planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.
  • Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference. HIFIMAN’s advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.
  • Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit: 7 years of painstaking research with this groundbreaking design offers near perfect reproduction of live music; Patented “Window Shade” System: Created to meet the need for driver protection and optimized open-back design
  • Craftsmanship: The metal structure is created via CNC milling and hand polishing. To meet the critical standard set out by HIFIMAN, the surface finishing is handled and refined by meticulous craftsmen With its unique design, exceptional function and exquisite craftsmanship, the HE1000 is the total luxury item that redefines the audio landscape.
  • The Plugs: The HE1000 package includes two different types of plugs: ¼” (mini 6.35mm) and 4-pin XLR connector so it can be used with a wide array of equipment. The plugs are easy to switch and quickly connected to different cables and amplifiers.

      Just like their forerunner, they remain one of the finest pair of non-electrostatic headsets that I have ever heard and will continue to be a reference point to judge other headphones in this class by. The HE1000 V2 remain true to the wonderful “alive” sound that’s so appealing about the originals, but bring some refined cosmetics and comfort updates along with a modestly tighter bass signature to the table. For prospective buyers who are looking for the best headphone around, your search is not complete until you listen to these. For owners of the originals, your investment has not been lost because the HE1000 V2 is not a revolution but an evolution from what you currently have. You can sleep well knowing that you still have a state of the art pair of headphones. An upgrade path is available if you wish but to me, the slight difference in sound and comfort is like a difference between cinnamon or chocolate on my cappuccino. I just happen to like them both!
