[ FAQ ]

 

What is the difference between the HE1000 Stealth and previous HE1000 versions?

The Stealth version features HIFIMAN's Stealth Magnet technology, which reduces wave diffraction for improved clarity and imaging compared to previous HE1000 models. The sound is smoother and more detailed.

---

Are the HE1000 Stealth headphones suitable for portable use?

Not really. These are high-end audiophile open-back headphones, best suited for home or studio listening. They require proper amplification and are not ideal for travel or noisy environments.

---

Do I need a headphone amplifier to use these?

Yes, an amplifier or high-quality DAC/amp is recommended. These headphones have a low sensitivity (around 93 dB) and perform best with powerful, clean amplification.

---

What type of drivers do the HE1000 Stealth headphones use?

They use planar magnetic drivers, which offer a wide frequency response, fast transient response, and low distortion for a very detailed and dynamic sound.

---

Are the earpads replaceable or swappable?

Yes. The earpads are replaceable and attached with magnets. HIFIMAN also offers replacement pads, and some third-party pads may fit, though sound may vary.

---

Are the HE1000 Stealth headphones comfortable for long listening sessions?

Yes, most users find them very comfortable. They feature large, angled earpads, a lightweight design for their size, and a suspension-style headband for even weight distribution.

---

What kind of sound signature can I expect?

Expect a balanced and detailed sound with a wide soundstage, tight bass, clean mids, and airy highs. The Stealth version emphasizes transparency and natural imaging.

---

What cables come with the HE1000 Stealth?

They typically come with multiple cables: balanced XLR, 1/4” TRS, and sometimes 3.5mm. All cables are detachable and use dual 3.5mm connectors at the earcup.

---

Can I use the HE1000 Stealth for gaming or movies?

Technically yes, and the large soundstage and imaging make them excellent for immersion, but they're overkill unless paired with a proper DAC/amp and high-quality source.

---

How do I care for and maintain these headphones?

Store them in a dust-free, dry place, avoid excessive heat or humidity, and handle cables and connectors carefully. Regularly clean the pads and headband with a dry cloth.
