HIFIMAN HE600 | Open-Back Planar Magnetic Headphones

HIFIMAN Reimagines a Classic, Infusing the HE600 With Advanced Technologies For a Timeless Yet Modern Listening Experience

• Enhanced magnet design using Rare-Earth-Free magnetic materials
• Features 2nd generation NEO Supernano diaphragm
• Tuning replicates its predecessor, the HE6
• New composite headband with rotatable hinges and reduced weight

Reinvention of a Classic

The HE600’s high sensitivity delivers sonic performance on par with power amplifier–driven systems, even when paired with standard headphone amps. Its significantly reduced weight enhances long-term comfort, while improved construction ensures lasting reliability.

Enhanced Magnet

HIFIMAN’s new HE600 uses rare-earth-free permanent magnet materials with a precisely engineered shape that reduces distortion and improves sound clarity. This design achieves sensitivity and control on par with rare-earth magnets, while offering a more sustainable, environmentally friendly approach without compromising the planar magnetic performance HIFIMAN is known for.

2nd Generation Nanometer Thickness Diagram

At the heart of the HE600 is HIFIMAN’s second-generation nanometer-thick diaphragm, now just 60% the thickness of the original. This ultra-lightweight membrane further enhances transient response, enabling the driver to reproduce even finer details with greater precision. The reduced mass allows for faster, more accurate movement, translating into improved dynamics, clarity, and immersion. 

Improved Comfort and Usability

Designed for exceptional comfort during extended listening, the HE600 features HIFIMAN’s FocusPad, memory foam wrapped in pleather and soft velour, that gently surrounds the ear for a luxurious fit. An improved 2nd generation headband reduces weight and adds rotatable hinges for easier usability.

New 3.5mm connectors, angled at 10 degrees to reduce strain, provide a secure, long-lasting connection between the headphones and cable.
