HIFIMAN HE1000 Stealth Magnet Planar Headphones - Open-Back Hi-Fi Reference

Overview

Experience an expansive, open listening experience with the HIFIMAN HE1000 Stealth Magnet headphones. Built for audiophiles and professionals, this model blends innovative materials with precise engineering to deliver a natural, uncolored sound that rewards careful listening.

Nanometer-thick diaphragm

The diaphragm in the HE1000 is a nanometer-thick film, a breakthrough material engineered by HIFIMAN. This ultra-thin layer aims to capture delicate micro-details and fast transients, producing a sense of air and immediacy across the spectrum.

Stealth magnets for cleaner signal

Acoustically invisible stealth magnets are shaped to reduce wave diffraction. By minimizing interference, they help preserve tonal balance and fine texture, enabling more accurate pursuit of instrument timbre and spatial cues.

Advanced magnetic circuit and Window Shade

Seven years of research inform the asymmetrical magnetic circuit, bringing you a more faithful reproduction of live music. The patented Window Shade system also helps protect the driver while maintaining an open-back design for a spacious feel.

Craftsmanship and build

The HE1000’s metal structure is CNC milled and hand-polished, with meticulous surface finishing by skilled artisans. The result is a premium, luxury-grade chassis that complements high-performance sound.
