Electrostatic headphones and amplifier

HIFIMAN's Mini Shangri-La is an exceptional audiophile system, combining an electrostatic headphone with a nanometer-thickness diaphragm and a solid-state amplifier built on a fully balanced architecture. Together they deliver sound of remarkable precision and finesse.

Electrostatic headphone with nanometer diaphragm

The Mini Shangri-La headphone uses an ultra-thin nanometer diaphragm capable of reproducing an extended bandwidth from 7 Hz to 90 kHz. This technology delivers detailed, fast and transparent sound that reveals every nuance of the signal.

A special coating ensures stable conductivity across different listening conditions, and an additional nanometer protective layer shields the diaphragm from humidity, dust and other influences without compromising acoustic quality.

Comfort and design

The headphone features large padded ear cushions with a soft, durable covering. The adjustable headband keeps it comfortable even during long listening sessions.

High-fidelity cable

The cable is made of high-purity single-crystal copper with gold-plated connectors, and terminates in a 5-pin Stax electrostatic plug on the source side.

Mini Shangri-La amplifier

The amplifier has no output transformers; it uses high-voltage MOSFET transistors instead, for direct, powerful and faithful amplification. Its balanced design keeps the signal clean and free of interference.

It features a linear power supply and discrete filtering that minimise distortion and preserve signal integrity.

Precise volume and complete connectivity

The 21-step volume control allows precise adjustment. The amplifier has unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR inputs, plus a 115 V / 230 V voltage selector for international use.
