About the Jade II
The HiFiMAN Jade II is a successor to the original Jade electrostatic headphone, introduced with advanced nanotech drivers for superior speed, definition, and high-frequency response up to 90kHz. It features an ultra-thin diaphragm (<0.001mm) coated with nano-particles, nanometer-thick dust covers for minimal distortion, and oval-shaped open-back earcups for expansive soundstage and resonant bass. Constructed with lightweight aluminum alloy, padded earcups, and hybrid headband for comfort during extended listening. Requires specialized electrostatic amplifier (sold separately or bundled). Reviews praise its smooth, natural tonality, fluid treble, detailed mids, fast transients, and wide soundstage, though bass is rounded rather than impactful. Compatible with Stax-type amps via 5-pin connectors. MSRP $1399 for headphones alone; full system $2499.
