The HE1000 V2 Stealth Open Back Planar Magnetic Headphones from Hifiman have been updated from their previous model HE1000 headphones and offer redesigned earpads that are thick with an asymmetrical shape, a stronger cable, and polyester earpad surfaces instead of velour material to increase sound transparency for use in the home, studio, with portable devices, and more.

Featuring diaphragms so thin they are measured in nanometer thickness, the result is a pair of headphones with a frequency response of 8 Hz to 65 kHz and an impedance of 32 Ohms. Their updated headband design will accommodate a wider range of head sizes. Their planar driver is the cornerstone of their remarkable sound.

The headphones have an updated earcup design trimmed down in size for a slimmer, sleeker look; they are now 11mm in thickness, a significant reduction in size from the original model's 14mm measurement.

The earpads have become thicker with an asymmetrical shape that follows the form of the earcups. They are supplied with a cable that is made stronger with the improved materials of crystalline copper and crystalline silver wire and built with a wide frequency range, low signal loss, and enhanced emphasis on their low-end for quality audio reproduction. A 1/8" cable and a 4-pin XLR cable are also included.

    Amelia ★★★★★

    I was skeptical about open-back headphones for home use, but the redesigned asymmetrical earpads create such a natural, airy soundstage that I forget I'm wearing them. The clarity on complex tracks is incredible—every instrument has its own space.

    Jason Z. ★★★★★

    The asymmetric earpads hug my ears perfectly, and the extra thickness makes long listening sessions genuinely comfortable instead of a chore. Paired with a decent amp, the planar drivers deliver a clarity and airiness that made me rediscover tracks I’d heard a hundred times.

    Thomas ★★★★★

    I was skeptical about open-back headphones, but the redesigned earpads on these are so thick and comfortable I forget I’m wearing them after an hour. The planar magnetic drivers give a soundstage that feels huge and airy, perfect for enjoying my favorite live recordings.
