Edition XS: A Major Upgrade of the Popular Edition X

The new Edition XS expands on its predecessor’s achievements with several essential upgrades. Featuring Stealth Magnet Technology and the company’s NEO supernano Diaphragm, the Edition XS produces a wide, natural soundstage that puts the listener in the best seat in the house. The NEO supernano diaphragm is 75% thinner than the original version, resulting in lightning-fast response for detailed sonic output without discernible distortion.

Edition XS from HIFIMAN brings the depth and range of well-recorded music to an affordably priced headphone.

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.

HIFIMAN’s NEO “supernano” Diaphragm (NsD)
The new NsD is 75% thinner than previous designs, resulting in fast response and detailed image with lush, full range sonics.

The Headband
The light weight, ergonomically accurate offers maximum comfort for hours of listening pleasure. The exterior is refined matte black material, and the interior features high-grade memory foam for the most comfortable fit and elasticity. The headphone’s structural design supports overall durability that retains its comfortable fit for years of enjoyment.

The Cable
HiFIMAN’s new 3.5mm sockets are similar to those found on most common audio devices. The supplied 3.5mm cable is user changeable and replaceable.

• 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.

• What is a planar headphone? What are its benefits over other designs? Planar headphones feature conductive layers that cover nearly the entire diaphragm, resulting in significantly lower distortion than conventional dynamic headphones.
• 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.
• Durable Connections The headphone’s drivers are protected by a newly designed casing for enhanced durability and protection from the elements. A dual-sided high-performance 3.5mm cable is packaged with a 6.35mm adapter for maximum compatibility with a wide range of devices.
• The HE400SE’s high sensitivity makes it the perfect match for low-voltage sources, including portable hi-res. audio players.
• Maximum Comfort for Hours of Listening Pleasure Thanks to its newly designed adjustable lightweight headband, the HE400se remains cool and comfortable for hours, even in excessively warm weather.

A classic evolved unparalleled musicality
Featuring HIFIMAN’s proprietary planar magnetic technology, the HE6se is a no-compromise headphone that delivers a transparent and completely natural rendition of the most complex recordings.

The HE6se is hungry for power, so it is important to pair it with an amplifier that feeds it substantial output, 2 watts per channel or more.

All-new Hybrid Headband
Lighter and more adjustable for maximum comfort, even after hours of listening.

New 3.5mm connectors
Angled at 10 degrees to reduce pressure, ensuring a long-lasting link between the headphone and the cable.

Supplied with a Crystalline Copper and Crystalline Silver cable for optimal signal transmission with near-zero signal loss.

For unmatched comfort over long listening sessions, the HE6se includes HIFIMAN’s proprietary FocusPad with memory foam surrounded by pleather and soft velour outer layers that gently envelope the ear.

• All-new Headband and 3.5mm connectors: lighter and more adjustable for maximum confirt, even after hours of listening; angled at 10 degrees to reduce pressure, ensuring a long-lasting link between the headphone and the cable.
• Premium Stock Cable: Supplied with a Crystalling Copper and Crystalline Silver cable for optimal signal transmission with near-zero signal loss.
• Comfortable Earpads: For unmatched comfort over long listening sessions, the HE6se V2 includes HIFIMAN’s prorietary Focuspad with memory foam surrounded by pleather and soft velour outer layers that gently envelope the ear.

• Utilising a new, hi-tech diaphragm means that the diaphragm is 80% thinner than was on the previous series. This results in more detail, faster transients and an extended frequency response.
• New headband design offering a separate head strap which allows for the headphone weight to be spread perfectly evenly over the wearers head. It delivers both a more comfortable fit but also a more eye pleasing look.
• The all new Headband gives a structure intended to be as practically street friendly, built to take the wear and tear of everyday life while looking great as it does it.
• The Headphone cable attachment uses the standard 3.5mm socket which gives improved connectivity and is more physically robust connector too.
• This latest version of SUNDARA now is supplied with newly improved earpads for enhanced durability and a newly upgraded cable made with stronger, further improved materials (of OFC wire) custom designed for the headphone.

• Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnet: Compared with the rectangular shaped magnets of traditional planar headphones, Stealth Magnets significantly reduce reflections and diffraction that are detrimental to sound quality, resulting in dramatically improved sonic output.
• HIFIMAN Heritage: HIFIMAN’s NEO “supernano” Diaphragm (NsD)- The NsD is 80% thinner than diaphragms in more common headphones, resulting in fast response and detailed image with lush, full range sonics.
• The Natural Beauty of Elegant Beechwood Ear Cups: Hand-assembled wood grain ear cups offer the dual benefit of exceptional sonics and stylish good looks.
• Classic Ergonomic Headband for Maximum Comfort: The lightweight headband features a black matte appearance for exceptional style and comfort.
