HiFiMAN Introduces HE1000 Unveiled and New Ananda-BT Bluetooth Headphone

At this years CanJam SoCal in California, HiFiMAN has just lift the curtain on two new products:

HiFiMAN HE1000 Unveiled open-back planar headphone
HiFiMAN Ananda-BT open-back planar bluetooth headphone

HiFiMAN HE1000 Unveiled

Following the flagship Susvara Unveiled, HiFiMAN now adds this new unveiled technology to the top of the HE1000 lineup, creating a more immersive listening experience with a wider soundstage and clearer sonic imagery by reducing sound reflection.

HiFiMAN remains as one of the leading technology driven pioneers of the head-fi market, with planar technology at supernano thickness, stealth magnet technology and much more. As Dr. Bian explains: “The most effective way to avoid sound wave reflections and refractions from the grill is to eliminate the entirety of the grill design, leading to complete openness of the diaphragm. The result is sound that is demonstrably more detailed and open, which is why we refer to this approach as ‘unveiled’ technology.”

Stealth Magnet Technology

Stealth Magnet technology that is notable for an asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit that gradually adjusts the magnet’s gap and cross-sectional shape, both inside and outside of the diaphragm. Stealth Magnet technology achieves maximum sound transmittance and diaphragm control force at a refined balance point, reducing distortion to a bare minimum for sound that is naturally warmer, with demonstrably improved imaging and transparency.

Magnetic Veil

HIFIMAN’s top-tier models are specially designed to maximize the exposure rate of the grills because the nanometer-thick diaphragm is so lightweight that reflections from the grill disturb the movement pattern of the diaphragm.

As one of HIFIMAN’s new Unveiled models, the HE1000 Unveiled incorporates a removable back panel, called Magnetic Veil, that is a result of HIFIMAN using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, a process of relying on computer software to control the movement and operation of machines that cut, carve, and engrave materials. Magnetic Veils fit over the ear cups, helping to avoid damage caused by the absorption of magnetic objects when the headphone is not in use.

Owner’s Guide

HiFiMAN Ananda-BT Bluetooth Open-Back Headphone

“When we first introduced the ANANDA-BT five years ago, it represented the best of both available Bluetooth technologies and features unique to HIFIMAN,” says Dr. Fang Bian, Founder and CEO, HIFIMAN. “This new version of a HIFIMAN classic takes the best of the original and adds several of our most recent developments to create a new standard in high-fidelity wireless audio.”

The rechargeable ANANDA-BT features HIFIMAN’s R2R DAC technology. A chip composed of an array of resistors with a new algorithm reduces power handling between the chip and peripheral components. As a result, signal-to-noise ratio, total harmonic distortion, and energy consumption are at their most efficient and cost-effective.

The audiophile-grade HIFIMAN ANANDA-BT, with HD Bluetooth technology, offers up to 24bit / 192khz (USB) , 24bit / 96khz (Bluetooth), lossless audio streaming. With full support for high-resolution protocols including LDAC™, aptX™ and aptX-HD™, the ANANDA-BT is compatible with most high-definition playback devices on the market, ensuring excellent audio signal transmission for outstanding sonics. Of course the Ananda-BT holds Stealth Magnet Technology and its Neo supernano technology for the diaphragm.
