From HIFIMAN- The Stealth Magnets: The latest innovation in the world of planar magnetic headphones is the development of a new design of magnet. We have called these “Stealth Magnets” after the core principle of anything stealth, to be as invisible as possible. Thus, the advanced magnet design used on the HE1000 aims to be as acoustically transparent, or invisible as possible. In traditional designs the magnets get in the way of the sound waves, by reflection and diffraction. This creates constructive and destructive interference and as these points shift with frequency changes there is a mass of wave interference taking place.The use of “Stealth Magnets”means the sound wave reproduction can take place without thenecessary magnets getting in their own way ruining the sonic purity of their output.
World’s First Diaphragm in Nanometer Thickness - Assures Remarkable Reproduction: HE1000 uses planar magnetic technology to create sound. Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, HIFIMAN planar headphones utilize a very thin film in proximity to a magnet to create sound that is detailed and lifelike with outstanding clarity. Generally, the thinner the film means lower mass, yielding faster response and lower distortion which in turn are key elements that create natural sound reproduction. 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. To give you an idea how thin the film is, if you were to view it from the side, it would be invisible to the naked eye. 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.
Patented “Window Shade” System: Created to meet the need for driver protection and optimized open-back design HIFIMAN utilizes an “Open Back” design for best possible sound. With HE1000, a patented “Window Shade” is precisely structured to gain greater openness in the headphone design. It
keeps the sound waves from second refraction to avoid unwanted vibration and distortion. Result is a wider soundstage, outstanding imaging and remarkable clarity.
Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit: 7 years of painstaking research with this groundbreaking design offers near perfect reproduction of live music
It took the HIFIMAN team seven years to obtain the optimum balance between high driver efficiency and high sound quality. The innovative design of the double-sided, asymmetrical magnetic circuit is the perfect marriage of the Diaphragm in Nanometer thickness and its magnetic partner. The result is Planar Magic.
The Headband - Ergonomic and comfortable headband design for most people, with greater reliability and durability: The headband of HE1000 accommodates a wide range of head sizes while applying correct pressure evenly. The metal headband structure is created via CNC milling and hand polishing. To adjust the headband, simply move each ear cup up or down until the top of the headband rests comfortably on your head and the ear cups surround your ears.
The Ear Pads: The ear pads are specially designed that they contour to the shape of your head for superb comfort and extended listening. The premium ear pads also have an improved surface that make contact with head to increase sound transparency.
