Open-back planar magnetic headphone

With the HE6 Remastered, HIFIMAN reissues one of the most respected headphones in recent hi-fi history. The driver that forged the HE6 legend is carried over unchanged, in a redesigned chassis that is lighter and more comfortable to wear.

The original sound signature

HIFIMAN changed nothing essential: same planar magnetic driver, same open-back architecture. You get the presentation that built the HE6's reputation — remarkable detail, precise imaging and a soundstage of rare scale. Those who knew it will find exactly what they loved; everyone else will quickly understand why this headphone became a cult classic.

A clear step up in comfort

The original metal structure gives way to a composite headband: weight drops from 550 to 522 grams, and the fit is gentler over long listening sessions. The earpads are now easily replaceable and the connectors follow a current standard. A headphone that is simpler to maintain, built to last.

Amplification that does it justice

True to its reputation, the HE6 Remastered demands power: 83.5 dB sensitivity at 50 ohms impedance. Pair it with a real headphone amplifier — that is the condition under which it reveals the dynamics, bass control and effortlessness that made it famous.
