NEW HE1000 V2 Planar Magnetic Headphones - STEALTH MAGNET REVISION (2023)

We are glad to announce you that HiFiMAN have updated the HE1000 V2 headphone with his latest driver technology: the “Stealth Magnets” which feature a special shape that enables waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.

Sonics are detailed and transparent, exposing every detail of the recording without extraneous noise.

HIFIMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves, maximizing the accuracy of the sonic output.

The new stealth version of the HE1000 V2 takes its performance to a higher level by being easier to drive, enhancing body, perfecting the image, and further improving the soundstage.

Revolutionary in design and engineering, the diaphragm in nanometer thickness of the HiFi Man HE1000 V2 Planar Magnetic Headphones is extremely low in mass, which helps it acheive a faster response rate and lower distortion.

New Features

• Slightly more ergonomical design to the original HE-1000 headphones. Including an improved headband design that is lighter, stiffer and able to accommodate a wider range of head sizes.
• Slimmer ear cups reducing weight on the ears and increasing comfort
• Exceptional sonic performance and luxurious materials bestow quality and exclusivity
• The HE-1000 V2 is built on world first technology and over 7 years of research using nanometer grade materials to give you the most amazing sound quality

World’s First Diaphragm in Nanometer Thickness: The diaphragm in nanometer thickness is extremely low in mass, yielding faster response and lower distortion. “…sounded remarkable and may motivate me to do a lot more headphone listening…” Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound

Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit: 7 years of research and devotion into the groundbreaking design offers near perfect reproduction of live music. Regular driver: insufficient construction of sound apertures from classical planar magnetic driver creates reflections, deflections, and refraction of sound waves, resulting in audible distortion. HIFIMAN Advanced Asymmetrical Planar Driver: the innovative design of the double-sided, asymmetrical magnetic circuits is the perfect marriage of the diaphragm in nanometer thickness and its magnetic partner. The result is Planar Magic. “The new HE1000 nailed it…at least as fat as a headphone could on quick listen at a show. This sounds like a reference level headphone.” Tyll Hertsen, Innerfidelity

Patented “Window Shade” System: Created to meet the need for driver protection and optimized open-back design. Regular headphone: Traditional grill designs tend to reflect sound waves, creating audible interference and distortion. HE1000: the patented “Window Shade” design is precisely structured to achieve an optimal open-back design. It prevents interference from the sound waves, avoiding unwanted reflections and vibrations, which cause distortion. This results in a wider and natural soundstage, outstanding imaging and remarkable clarity. "For the listener, the net effect is not unlike having one’s ears and brain “hard-wired” to the original recording console, which affords an exceptionally intimate view of the music." Chris Martens, HiFi+

Meticulously Crafted and Quality-Checked by Hand: With its unique design, exceptional function and exquisite craftsmanship, the HE100 is the total luxury item that redefines the audio landscape.

Enjoy Excellent Comfort and Remarkable Sound Quality: Ergonomic and comfortable, the headband features a steady arch structure, a universal design with improved reliability and durability. “…the ginormous HE1000 made even my head look tiny. Despite its size, the HE1000 felt light on the head.” Jude, Head-Fi

The Planar Magnetic Operating Principle

You can think of planar magnetic drivers as a sort of crossbreed between dynamic and electrostatic drivers. Like a standard dynamic headphone, planar magnetic headphones use the magnetic field around a conductor that has electrical current flowing through it to drive the diaphragm. Like an electrostatic driver, the diaphragm of a planar magnetic speaker is a thin sheet of flexible transparent film, but unlike an electrostat, the film has very thin, flat electrical conductors (wires ... but very flat ones) in it.
