With the HE1000 Unveiled, HiFiMAN offers us planar magnetic headphones that redefine what open-back headphones are. In order to eliminate any distortion caused by the refraction of sound waves, HiFiMAN has opened up the backs of the drivers to an unprecedented degree, highlighting furthermore the design qualities of the nanometric diaphragm and the stealth magnet network for a crystal-clear result.
First and foremost, it's important to underline that planar magnetic technology is at the heart of the HE1000 Unveiled. This technology is based on the diaphragm being completely covered by the voice coil, so the diaphragm vibrates uniformly, greatly reducing phase distortion, widening the soundstage and enabling more accurate spatialisation of sound. To this principle, Hifiman adds a nanometre-thick diaphragm, greatly improving response time and dynamics as well as the frequency range of sound reproduction.
The design philosophy of open-air headphones has always been to leave the backs of the drivers open so as to avoid refractions of sound waves. However, the grid design traditionally used, although sufficient in most cases, is not optimal and still causes refractions that affect the overall quality of the sound. Hifiman presents a window opening design devoid of grids, designed to optimise the evacuation of sound waves, thus avoiding refraction and improving sound quality by reducing distortion.
Given the HE1000 Unveiled's unprecedented degree of openness, it comes with a pair of magnetic veil that can be used to protect the headset from any metal objects that might get inside when you're not using it.
The HE1000 Unveiled also stands out for the attention paid to its magnet network. One of the specific features of planar magnetic headphones is the positioning of magnets on both sides of the diaphragm, so the presence of these magnets can interfere with the sound produced by the diaphragm. In response to this problem, Hifiman has developed a stealth magnet array that allows sound waves to pass through without generating interference, diffraction or turbulence, resulting in a furthermore accurate, broadband sound reproduction.
When designing the HE1000 Unveiled, we also paid particular attention to comfort. The headphones' earcups, for example, are asymmetric and bevelled to adapt as closely as possible to the natural shape of the ear and to distribute the weight of the headphones evenly, guaranteeing long listening sessions without the slightest discomfort.
The HE1000 Unveiled comes with 3 high-quality cables with single-crystal copper and silver conductors to ensure faultless conductivity and signal transmission. The cables supplied have 3.5 mm jack, 6.35 mm jack and XLR terminations respectively, so they are suitable for all situations.
