The Hifiman Edition XV is a true all-rounder – designed to meet a variety of sound preferences at the highest level. Thanks to the latest innovations from Hifiman's planar driver technology, this open-back headphone delivers a balanced sound with rich bass, detailed mids, and clear highs that is hard to surpass in its price range. An innovation is the Enhanced Magnets used by Hifiman. Instead of relying on traditional permanent magnets, Hifiman utilizes a magnetic material that does not require rare earth elements. Combined with an optimized geometry, the driver achieves a performance that rivals other magnetostatic drivers while offering a resource-efficient, forward-looking solution. The Neo Supernano Diaphragm Gen. 2 membrane is 60 percent thinner than the first generation, resulting in exceptional detail fidelity and minimal distortion. The open design of the headphones gives the music the space it needs to breathe. The Hifiman Edition XV presents your music on a grand stage, with you as the listener in the best seat in the audience. Comfortable even during longer listening sessions, the new lightweight 2nd generation headband reduces weight, and the large oval hybrid ear cushions provide a pleasant wearing experience. The 1.5-meter cable can be connected to virtually all portable and stationary amplifiers thanks to the 3.5mm connector (including an adapter to 6.3mm). The cable is easily replaceable and interchangeable.
