HIFIMAN Debuts HE1000 Unveiled Open-back Planar Headphone at CanJam SoCal 2024

BELLMORE, NY, September 24, 2024 – HIFIMAN, the leader in high fidelity personal audio, will soon ship a long-anticipated follow-up to one of its most popular open back planar headphones.

The new HE1000 Unveiled (SRP: $2,699.00), which will make its debut at CanJam SoCal 2024, is the latest addition to HIFIMAN’s lauded HE1000 high-end series of planar magnetic headphones. As the top of the HE1000 line-up, the new HE1000 Unveiled features several of the company’s most recent developments, including 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.

HIFIMAN’s 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.

“Following up the recent success of the Susvara Unveiled, we are proud to bring the Magnetic Veil design to one of our most popular high-fidelity headphone series to date,” says Dr. Fang Bian, Founder and CEO, HIFIMAN Electronics. “It’s a point of differentiation that sets the HE1000 Unveiled apart from every other headphone in its price class.”

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.”
