Latest version of the HE1000: the HE1000 V4 is also known as the HE1000 V2 Stealth Magnets

Hi-Fi planar magnetic headphones

The HE1000 V4 is one of HiFiMAN's most award-winning headphones. It follows in the footsteps of the famous HE1000, adding the brand's latest technologies: the nanometre-thin diaphragm and Stealth Magnets.

New "Stealth Magnets"

The latest version of the HE1000 series features Stealth Magnets. They perform better thanks to a shape designed to reduce turbulence inside the headphone. Distortion and internal resonances of the headphone structure are greatly reduced.

Nanometre-thin diaphragm

The HE1000 V4's diaphragm is so thin it is measured in nanometres. This feat gives the brand a considerable lead over its competitors. This version gains in definition, its transients are faster and distortion drops even further.

Asymmetric drivers that fit the human ear

This is one of the HE1000 V4's advantages over HiFiMAN's entry-level models: the earcups follow the shape of the human ear. This asymmetric design ensures that the signal reaching the ear is more in phase. The edges of the driver are equidistant from the centre of the ear. Easy to imagine but hard to achieve! HiFiMAN rose to the challenge after 7 years of R&D.
