About the HE600
The HiFiMAN HE600 is an open-back planar magnetic headphone that reinvents the classic HE6 sound signature with significant upgrades. It features a second-generation NEO Supernano diaphragm that is 60% thinner for enhanced transient response and detail retrieval, paired with a rare-earth-free enhanced magnet system for high sensitivity and reduced distortion. With 28 ohms impedance and 94 dB sensitivity, it is far easier to drive than the original HE6, compatible with standard desktop headphone amps. The design includes a lightweight 389g build, 2nd-generation composite headband with rotatable hinges, FocusPad ear pads (memory foam with pleather and velour), and angled 3.5mm connectors for comfort and durability. It delivers a balanced, detailed sound with punchy bass, natural mids, and controlled treble, excelling in resolution and imaging while being suitable for extended listening sessions. Currently in production and available from official retailers.
