HiFiMAN HE400se Open-back Planar Headphone
A Classic Favorite with a Modern Twist The HiFiMAN HE400se is an open-back planar magnetic headphone. Unlike dynamic drivers, which use conductors that vibrate in limited areas, planar magnetic headphones use conductive layers that cover nearly the entire diaphragm, resulting in significantly lower distortion. The global version of the HE400se features HiFiMAN’s unique “stealth magnet” design that reduces wave diffraction turbulence and lowers distortion to barely audible levels. In addition, it comes with a silver copper cable that, similar to the “stealth magnet” design, is unique to the global model. Acoustically invisible stealth magnets While many open back headphones prevent sound waves from escaping with poorly designed drivers, the HE400se utilizes a specially-shaped magnet that allows waves to pass through without generating interference. The result is a massive reduction in wave diffraction turbulence and less distortion. Adjustable, lightweight headband Thanks to the H
