Name: HE1000 V4 Headphones - Stealth Magnet Edition
SKU: 687045

The HiFiMan HE1000 V4 Stealth Magnet Headphones represent a significant evolution in the company's renowned planar magnetic technology. This third iteration of HiFiMan's pioneering design incorporates their innovative Stealth Magnet technology, elevating an already exceptional reference headphone to new heights of audio fidelity. Building upon the foundation of nanometer-grade materials used in the original HE1000, this latest version pushes the boundaries of what's possible in high-end personal audio. The implementation of Stealth Magnetsa design that minimizes wave diffraction turbulenceresults in a purer, more pristine sound reproduction.

The sonic improvements are immediately apparent across the entire frequency spectrum. The Stealth Magnet technology allows for crisper, more articulate reproduction of fine details, enabling listeners to hear nuances in their music that may have previously gone unnoticed. Low frequencies are tighter, more controlled, and exhibit improved texture, offering a more accurate representation of bass instruments. The midrange, where most instruments and vocals reside, benefits from increased presence and clarity, resulting in a more engaging and emotionally resonant listening experience. Despite these improvements, the HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet retains the expansive soundstage that made its predecessors famous, with the sense of space and instrument separation remaining excellent. The precise placement of sounds within the stereo field is further enhanced, allowing for a more accurate recreation of the original recording space.

The integration of Stealth Magnet technology doesn't just refine the sound; it also potentially improves the headphones' efficiency. This could translate to better performance with a wider range of amplifiers, although like most planar magnetic headphones, a high-quality amplifier is still recommended to fully realize their potential. Physically, the headphones retain the elegant design and comfort-focused features of the V2, including the asymmetrical ear cups and lightweight construction. The premium materials used in their construction, such as wood veneer and high-grade metal alloys, continue to provide both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. In essence, the HiFiMan HE1000 V4 Stealth Magnet Headphones take what was already considered one of the best headphones in the world and elevate it further. They offer a listening experience that is more refined, more detailed, and ultimately more true to the source material. For audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of personal audio reproduction, these headphones represent a new benchmark in high-fidelity sound. Pair these open-back hi-fi headphones with a nice DAC and amp for top performance, layering, and excellent tonality.

World's First Diaphragm in Nanometer Thickness

The HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet headphone employs cutting-edge planar magnetic technology to deliver exceptional sound quality. Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, HiFiMan's planar headphones use an ultra-thin film positioned near a magnet to produce detailed, lifelike audio with outstanding clarity. The thinner the film, the lower the mass, which results in faster response times and reduced distortionkey elements for natural sound reproduction.

In the HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet, HiFiMan has achieved a groundbreaking feat by utilizing a diaphragm with nanometer thickness. This advanced material is so thin that it would be invisible if viewed from the side. This breakthrough technology, developed by HiFiMan, is a first in headphone applications and represents a significant leap in audio engineering. Incorporating such an advanced material is extremely challenging, but its successful integration into the HE1000 V2's planar driver is the foundation of the headphone's remarkable sound quality. This innovation allows the HE1000 V2 to deliver an unparalleled listening experience, characterized by vivid detail, lifelike clarity, and a truly immersive soundstage.

Patented Window Shade System

Designed to ensure optimal driver protection while delivering the highest sound quality, the HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet headphones feature an innovative "open-back" design. This design choice allows for an expansive and natural soundstage, enhancing the overall listening experience. Central to this design is the patented "Window Shade" system, which is meticulously engineered to maximize openness and acoustic performance.

The "Window Shade" structure plays a crucial role in preventing the sound waves from experiencing second refractions, which can cause unwanted vibrations and distortion. By eliminating these distortions, the HE1000 V2 achieves a wider soundstage, superior imaging, and exceptional clarity. This results in a more immersive and accurate auditory experience, allowing listeners to hear their music with unprecedented detail and precision.

In addition to its functional benefits, the "Window Shade" design also imparts a distinctive, high-tech aesthetic to the HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet headphones. The combination of advanced engineering and striking design elements makes these headphones not only a technical marvel but also a visually appealing accessory. The HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnet headphones are crafted to meet the highest standards of both performance and style, providing an unparalleled listening experience for audiophiles and professionals alike.
