HiFiMAN HE1000 Unveiled open-back planar headphone

HE1000 Unveiled open-back planar headphone

 Following the flagship Susvara Unveiled, HiFiMAN now adds this new unveiled technology to the top of the HE1000 lineup, creating a more immersive listening experience with a wider soundstage and clearer sonic imagery by reducing sound reflection. HiFiMAN remains as one of the leading technology driven pioneers of the head-fi market, with planar technology at supernano thickness, stealth magnet technology and much more. As Dr. Bian explains: “The most effective way to avoid sound wave reflections and refractions from the grill is to eliminate the entirety of the grill design, leading to complete openness of the diaphragm. The result is sound that is demonstrably more detailed and open, which is why we refer to this approach as ‘unveiled’ technology.”

Stealth Magnet Technology

Stealth Magnet technology that is notable for an asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit that gradually adjusts the magnet’s gap and cross-sectional shape, both inside and outside of the diaphragm. Stealth Magnet technology achieves maximum sound transmittance and diaphragm control force at a refined balance point, reducing distortion to a bare minimum for sound that is naturally warmer, with demonstrably improved imaging and transparency.

Magnetic Veil

HIFIMAN’s top-tier models are specially designed to maximize the exposure rate of the grills because the nanometer-thick diaphragm is so lightweight that reflections from the grill disturb the movement pattern of the diaphragm.

As one of HIFIMAN’s new Unveiled models, the HE1000 Unveiled incorporates a removable back panel, called Magnetic Veil, that is a result of HIFIMAN using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, a process of relying on computer software to control the movement and operation of machines that cut, carve, and engrave materials. Magnetic Veils fit over the ear cups, helping to avoid damage caused by the absorption of magnetic objects when the headphone is not in use.
