Your Music Will Never Sound the Same

Planar Magnetic Drivers

The HiFiMAN HE-6 redefines how you think about your music. The flag ship model from one of the world's finest headphone manufacturers, the open-back HE-6 headphones from HiFiMAN feature premium planar magnetic drivers and a true audiophile-grade XLR connection to go along with the extraordinary design HiFiMAN is well known for. The open-back design of the HE-6 headphones offers an incredibly spacious sound performance that makes you feel like you're standing in the front row rather than relaxing in your favorite chair. Treat yourself to the sound you've always wanted!


Planar Magnetic Drivers

Impossible Sound Quality

HiFiMAN is well known for their planar magnetic headphones and the HE-6's are no different. These headphones deliver warm, detailed sound that will absolutely capture your attention. Planar magnetic provide a larger surface area than the typical headphone driver to deliver outstanding sound detail and spaciousness. The open-back earcups ensure you hear your music on a mind-blowing soundstage.


Amplify the HE-6 Headphones for Optimum Performance

Boost Your Sound

Top-of-the-line headphones, especially planar magnetic headphones, often require some added juice to bring our their full potential, the HE-6 is no exception. With an 83.5dB efficiency rating, these headphones require a powerful amplifier (like the HiFiMAN EF-6 Amplifier) that will push the HE-6 headphones to produce tight, powerful bass, phenomenal detail and one of the most incredible sound stages you've ever heard.


XLR Headphone Connection

Audiophile Connection

The quality of your headphones doesn't matter if you don't have a connection to match. HiFiMAN designed the HE-6 with XLR outputs for use with balanced connection amplifiers. The screw terminals on each ear cup ensure a secure connection. Each connection uses a separate ground lead for each channel to significantly reduce unwanted crosstalk between channels.
