HiFiMAN HE400se 2022 Stealth Magnets Version | Planar Magnetic Open-Back Headphones

Our Take
The HE400se gives you a taste of top-end planar magnetic performance at an incredible price. Paired with a good DAC/Amp, you can hear detail, clarity, and speed that blows away most other headphones under $200. While its neutral to slightly bright tuning may not be what most mainstream ears are expecting (e.g. Beats owners), if you’ve been looking to dip your toes into the waters of audiophile headphones, the latest revision of the HE400se is the perfect place to start.

A Classic Favorite with a Modern Twist

The new HE400se features HIFIMAN's unique "stealth magnet" design that reduce wave diffraction turbulence and lowers distortion to barely audible levels. The updated International Edition also includes a cable with a look, feel, and performance that improves on previous iterations.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth magnet

Unlike the sound waves created by a conventional magnet, the special shape of Stealth Magnets enables the waves to pass through the magnets without generating interference.

HIFIMAN's advanced magnet design is acoustically transparent, dramatically reducing wave diffraction turbulence that degrades the integrity of the sound waves. The reduced distortion yields pure sonic output that is accurate and full-range.

Maximum Comfort for Hours of Listening Pleasure

Thanks to its newly designed adjustable lightweight headband, the HE400se remains cool and comfortable for hours, even in excessively warm weather.

The headphones drivers are protected by a newly designed casing for enhanced durability and protection from the elements.
