Techpowerup

HiFiMAN's HE-6 employs printed circuits on a very thin and flat diaphragm arranged in a uniform magnetic field. This system creates a soundstage that will make you think you are listening to speakers rather than headphones. The open design of the earcups add to the soundstage with broad and crisp dynamics.

High-quality balanced dual-sided OCC cables with PE sheath transfer the sound to near perfection. Included are two different lengths of dual balanced headphone cables. The HE-6 incorporates durable and lightweight plastic earcups for long-term performance and even acoustics.

Rotating in two axes, the HE-6 adapts to the contours of the head and guarantees a secure fit. The included large earpads and adjustable headband make for comfortable and long listening sessions. There is also a backup earpad included in the package, just in case of an emergency. When not in use, the HE-6 can be stored in the included luxury wooden box.

HiFiMAN HE-6: reference-class headphones with electrostatic speaker dynamics.

Planar-Magnetic Technology
HiFiMAN 's HE-6 utilises printed circuits on a very thin and flat diaphragm placed in a uniform magnetic field. The result is an extremely light and responsive driver offering greater precision and reduced resonance compared to conventional dynamic systems.

Earcup Design
With the open backed design the HE-6 delivers a broad, clear and open soundstage. The HE-6 uses highly durable plastic earcups for long-term performance and even acoustics.

Amplification
These headphones require a potent reference headphone amplifier.

Comfort Factor

HiFiMAN HE-6 Reviews

Techpowerup Advocates HiFiMAN HE-6

"The Hifiman HE-6 headphones provide a very interesting mix of qualities. The HE-6's brilliance lies in its remarkable detail oriented sound along with a deeper sound stage than the HE-5LEs. They are able to produce some real rumble without having an elevated upper bass or mid-bass."
