From HiFiMAN, the Power of Stealth

HiFiMAN is now shipping its third generation of the HE1000 headphone that has been updated with their acclaimed Stealth Magnet technology.

Traditional magnets generate sound waves that can introduce interference. The special shape of HiFiMAN’s Stealth Magnets enable the waves to pass through without interference. This design is acoustically transparent minimizing the degradation of the sound waves and lowering distortion to produce accurate sonic output.

World’s First Diaphragm in Nanometer Thickness

In the HE1000, the film used 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 a 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.

Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit

Seven years of painstaking research with this groundbreaking design offers near perfect reproduction of live music. The design uses smaller magnets on the ear-facing side which reduces interference in sound wave transmissions from the diaphragm.

Craftsmanship and Comfort

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 craftsmanship.

The ergonomic headband design is comfortable for most people, with greater reliability and durability. And the asymmetrical earcups follow the natural shape of the human ear for increased comfort and decreased fatigue.

Sturdy 3.5mm Connectors

As with all HiFiMAN products, the HE1000 Stealth features 3.5mm headphone connectors that are angled at 10°, thereby lessening the pressure points associated with straight-angled connectors. These pressure points sometimes stress the connection, but the angled design ensures a solid, reliable and long-lasting link between the headphone and the cable.

Furthermore, the user replaceable connector design allows easy cable swapping, giving both maximum durability and enhanced customizability.
