Smashes the Ceiling for Critical Listening

Combining the care devoted to a handcrafted instrument, the precision of modern manufacturing, and over 75 years of Sennheiser expertise, the HD 800 S lets you explore your entire music collection from the inside out and redefines the critical listening experience.

After launching its predecessor the HD 800, Sennheiser accepted its own challenge to completely disappear from the last link in the audio chain. The goal was to provide acoustics so immersive that your awareness dissolves into the perspective of the music creator. On their own, each component of the HD 800 S is world-class. The signature sound of the HD 800 S is possible not because of any one of them, but through the synergy of all of them. Let’s explore.

It Has a Ring to It

The heart of the HD 800 S and its striking sound is the 56mm Ring Radiator transducer. The headphones’ vibration damping chassis and inert headband insert provide complete stability—what you put into the HD 800 S is precisely what you will get out of it.

It leverages the key benefit of a large diaphragm transducer—air displacement—without losing the rigidity that favorably impacts rest and response times. Instead of a single attachment on the outer circumference of the transducer, both outer and inner edges of the “ring” are secured to the drive unit. The voice coil excites the diaphragm, connected to the v-shaped groove found near the center of the ring. A feat in itself, the voice coil is 40mm and wound in-house to ensure the shape and consistency is held to the highest standard.

All the World’s a Stage

The HD 800 S features a mesmerizing soundstage that seemingly transports the listener into the recording environment.

This is the result of several key features. The drivers are mounted at a precise angle, guiding the sound directly to the listener’s ears at their natural inflection point. Instead of hearing a sound that forms between your ears, you experience a vivid wash of frequencies and sensory-stimulating transients. When finally combined, the vibration damping chassis, perfectly matched transducer systems and wide-open construction work in concert to provide the most striking soundstage yet. This orientation rivals or exceeds loudspeaker setups costing exponentially more—especially when room acoustics are factored in. The HD 800 S offers you a personal concert hall on-demand—without waking the neighbors.

An Ergonomic Treat

The HD 800 S delivers on long-term wearing comfort too, providing a listening experience as luxurious as it is immersive.

Every contact point utilizes ultra-soft microfiber padding, while purpose-built composites reduce weight and unwanted pressure. Each earcup provides dual-axis articulation—as soon as you put them on the HD 800 S will instantly and effortlessly conform to your unique structure. The result is a remarkable listening session that never stands in the way of your passion for hi-fidelity sound reproduction.

Dive Deeper into Legendary Sound with the Sennheiser HD 660S2 Open-back

• Open-Back, Dynamic, Over-ear Headphones with High Fidelity sound
• Ultra-light aluminum voice coil with 300Ω impedance for excellent impulse response
• Uniquely powerful vented magnet system for minimized distortion
• Outstanding quality designed in Germany, made in Ireland
• Intimate and precise yet non-fatiguing sound with great timbre and deep, accurate sub bass
• Plush ear cushions and open design for maximum comfort

Dive Deeper into your Music

Enjoy your music on a completely new level. An intimate, relaxed sound signature combines with outstanding precision and exceptional comfort — and now, extended sub bass — for a deeply moving experience. The extremely precise yet non-fatiguing sound of the HD 660S2 delivers even more impact with extended sub bass.

With an optimized surround, transducer airflow, and coil, our engineers doubled the sound pressure at the lowest octaves. You can feel the lowest note on the piano (27.5 Hz) or the kick of the bass drum (45-60 Hz) as if you were there.

The relaxed tone and open-back design make this extremely comfortable headphone great for long sessions. With warm tuning, smooth treble, and strong bass, the standard-setter for extended listening is now the standard-setter for extended bass as well.

Sub Bass Expands the Entire Sound

In doubling the sound pressure at the lowest frequencies, we’ve retained extraordinary precision and balance throughout the sub-bass, mid-bass, and beyond. Extension on the low-end changes everything by creating more space for the sound. Against a deeper backdrop, highs feel more brilliant, the soundstage deeper, and emotions stronger.

Improvement of a Legend

The revised coil of the HD 660S2 matches the 300Ω impedance of the legendary HD 600 and HD 650. This new coil also provides higher magnetic force and electrical dampening for cleaner impulse response.

The surround is also more compliant, dropping the resonant frequency from 110 Hz to 70Hz. All together, these measurements result in even greater precision, speed, and resolution with double the sound pressure at the lowest frequencies.

Frequency Response Comparison

1. Between 20-200 Hz, the sound pressure level is significantly increased (twice the sound pressure at 20 Hz.) This results in a much better impact of percussion and electronic music, the most common user feedback.

2. Above 5000 Hz, overall, the response is stronger. This results in more perceived clarity.

3. Above 5000 Hz, the response is “smoother” (the difference between the louder peaks and quieter troughs is smaller.) So music reproduction is more natural, and fewer peaks mean less fatigue during long listening sessions.

They Feel as Great as They Sound

The velour earpads of the HD 660S2 can only be described as a tactile pleasure. With just the right amount of tension for proper acoustic positioning and supple padding, the headband won’t draw attention away from your music. And with open-back design, the HD 660S2 gives your ears an extremely comfortable climate, even for super-long sessions. Low total weight and ergonomic headband rule out potential discomfort .The listening experience is as physically pleasing as the warm, non-fatiguing sound at its heart.

A Direct Connection To Your Music

Known for their engaging signatures and liquid-smooth response, HD 660S predecessors HD 650 and HD 600 shattered performance barriers in the audiophile headphone category.

The HD 660 S transcends the best of that storied DNA with supernatural speed and effortless instrument reproduction—even at the bookends of the frequency spectrum. Utilizing an all-new transducer and specially ventilated drive unit, the HD 660 S delivers the revealing, tack-sharp detail audiophiles demand without sacrificing the engaging dynamics that make music so enjoyable.

From Our Ears To Yours

In just one listen you will understand why the HD 660S is so special. Thousands of listening sessions later its purpose is even clearer.

What you hear each and every time is the result of an open-back earcup mated to a new transducer tuned for the modern audiophile. Its speedy response is perfectly suited for reproducing those frequency-stretching recordings with confidence. Thanks to an aluminum voice coil, the 38mm diaphragm remains nimble for ultra-quick impulse fidelity across the board. This activation and rest behavior unlocks the capability to communicate tonal and spatial characteristics precisely.

Meshing Together

The steel mesh found on the HD 660 S drive unit is interesting in design but most impressive when it comes to performance.

It completes the ventilated driver, offering consistent control of air displacement to reduce turbulence. As a result, diaphragm travel is pure, letting the music—and only the music—shine in a perfect balance of integrity and expression. The steel composition allows for much tighter production tolerances, ultimately contributing to remarkably consistent characteristics of each HD 660 S produced. When combined with the open-back earcups, the sound emanating from each transducer is completely free to expand, just as it would in nature.

Capability, Meet Versatility

Today’s audiophile has more component choices than ever.

We optimized the HD 660 S for efficiency on a wider range of devices to accommodate the varying levels of power present in output amplification circuitry. At 150 ohms, the HD 660 S is the perfect partner for dedicated amplifiers, A/V receivers, and digital audio players (DAPs)—the magnet is more powerful than its predecessors, and thus easier to drive regardless of how your setup changes over time.

Handled with care

Every HD 660 S has experienced a matching regimen to mate each transducer to its opposite-channel counterpart.

These tolerances are extremely narrow and when bolstered by automated assembly processes, ensure that your HD 660S experience is consistent with those all over the globe. We designed it with thoughtful, lightweight materials invisible to the acoustical system without sacrificing the durability needed for daily, all-day use. With a never-ending supply of music to consume, we wanted every touch point to be soft, luxurious, and durable for those extended listening sessions.

It's all about connection

We packed your HD 660 S with a versatile set of essential cables, each one impedance-matched with ultra-low capacitance.

The ¼" (6.3mm) stereo connector offers the audiophile-standard plug for connection to devices such as headphone amplifiers and A/V receivers, digital audio players, analog gear, and more. A balanced 4.4mm connector opens a pathway to a newer generation of balanced output devices (headphone amplifiers, digital audio players, etc.) that embrace this compact plug’s superior stability over time. A balanced headphone setup offers an even lower noise floor with great dynamic range when connected to balanced source/amp circuit outputs. The listener will thus experience, a wider soundstage, tightly controlled transients, and impossibly-clear instrument separation. Each cable is 9.8' (3m) long to accommodate unencumbered listening on gear deep within your shelves or favorite listening chair, and a flexible adapter is included to reduce the 6.3mm to 3.5mm. An optional balanced cable (CH 650 S) is sold separately for simplified connection to 4-pin XLR jacks.

Smooth Response and Dimensional Soundstage

Open earcups provide each and every soundwave ample room to expand as they would in nature.

The HD 650’s signature sound starts with our in-house acoustics. Audiophiles know that the best components perform at their peak when nothing stands in their way. The 42mm transducer deploys a 38mm diaphragm with aluminum voice coil specifically tuned for extended, critical listening: overall treble and low-frequency presence are effortless while midrange is reproduced with lifelike composure—none sacrificing their organic roots to get there. Modern high-resolution sample rates benefit especially well from the HD 650’s willingness to reveal subtle nuances without resorting to over-hyping the treble range. Each transducer manufactured is measured against rigid specifications and paired with a perfect match for consistent representation of the entire frequency spectrum in both channels. By reducing variances between left and right channels, the headphone reproduces mastering-grade sound independent of room acoustics or loudspeaker positioning.

Made with More in Mind

Planar Full-Size Headphone

In a planar headphone, a magnetic field is generated parallel to the diaphragm through the symmetrical arrangement of grid-array magnets. Signals generate amprere force perpendicular to the printed circuit on the diaphragm, thus causing the diaphragm to vibrate.

The advantage of planar magnetic headphones is that the stress on the diapgram is more uniform than that of dynamic driver headphones, and the split vibration of planar headphones is theoretically lower than that of dynamic headphones, without the necessity for special materials. The split vibration distortion of planar headphones is somewhere between that of dynamic headphones and electrostatic headphones, but unlike electrostatic headphones, which require a special amplifier to drive them, planar headphones can be driven using the same amplifiers of dynamic headphones.

Venus uses a diaphragm with a diameter of 100mm and a thickness of only 2 microns, and the printed circuit on the diaphragm is made of 1um pure silver. The larger vibration delivers stronger dynamics, the thin diaphragm responds to finer details, and the pure silver printed circuit results in lower heat loss.

Unlike other products, the stresses on the Venus printed circuit are distributed evenly during the vibration of the diaphragm, and other wiring has been recessed into the fixed part of the diaphragm, ensuring that the whole diaphragm vibrates more evenly under ampere force. Compared with ordinary planar headphones, it further reduced the distortion caused by split vibration, and delivers a performance closer to that of electrostatic headphones.

N52 Magnet Array Optimized by FEA

Venus uses an array of 18 N52 magnets with high remanence on one side. Throught FEA finite element analysis optimization design, the magnetic field parallel to the diaphragm is evenly distributed, which further reduces the split vibration and vibration nonlinearity of the diaphragm.

Aluminum Alloy CNC Cavity with Patented Integrated Structure

The driver structure of Venus has to withstand very large tension loads because of the large number of N52 magnets used to form arrays. In order to avoid deformation, the entire driver structure requires use of costly aluminum alloy CNC.

Venus adopts an unprecedented driver-cavity integrated structure that accommodates a larger diaphragm in a limited volume, and overall weight is lowered as much as possible while ensuring the rigidity of the structure that supports the magnetic circuit grid of 36 large neodymium magnets.

Combined High Frequency Waveguide Phase Equalization Technology

Venus adopts a unique combined high-frequency waveguide structure, which minimizes the phase interference of the grid magnets in the transmission of high-frequency sound waves, while avoiding the negative impact of the volume and efficiency of the magnetic circuit.

Secondary Diaphragm Stress Balance Technology

After the diaphragm has been molded, the stress on it is released and then equalized a second time. As a results of this additional process, the nonlinear distortion of the diaphragm under loud pressure is reduced by at least 95%.

Excellent Performance Index

The frequency response curve of Venus is highly consistent with HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function), and the nonlinear distortion is less than 0.05%. The distortion is ultra-low even under loud pressure. Venus is the master of acoustic technology of Moondrop, which highly pursues the uniform and linear structural design and special technology in all aspects.

Other Features

Self-adjusting headband: Venus adopts a self-adjusting leather headband, thus ensuring the most comfortable wearing experience possible.

Interchangeable cable design: Venus uses an interchangeable cable design with 3.5mm headphone connectors for the right/left channels. Users can easily replace the cable to meet different requirements.

The result is exceptionally low split-vibration, surpassing conventional planar performance and approaching the clarity and precision of electrostatic drivers.

N52 Magnet Array

The Para 2 planar headphones utilize an array of 36 oversized N52 neodymium strip magnets to generate a powerful, uniform magnetic field. Covering the entire diaphragm surface, the array is optimized through FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to maximize magnetic transmittance and ensure even, efficient energy distribution for consistent, high-fidelity performance.

Ultra-Thin Diaphragm with Stress Balance Tech

Para 2 features a newly developed 1.2μm ultra-thin diaphragm that delivers faster response, deeper bass, and greater detail retrieval. Highly elastic pure silver circuits are etched in a two-dimensional topological structure, minimizing their impact on surface tension—reducing split vibrations and enhancing diaphragm compliance.

To further optimize performance, TBT (Tension Balancing Technology) is employed to equalize surface stress across the diaphragm. This ensures low distortion even under demanding dynamics, offering a refined, high-fidelity experience, especially when paired with high-end sources.

Integrated Unit Cavity Structure

Carrying forward the design legacy of the Moondrop Venus, the Para 2 reimagines the integrated unit cavity with substantial upgrades in both structure and materials. At its core lies a space-stacked driver system featuring a large magnetic circuit that delivers a uniform field across the entire surface of the oversized FDT diaphragm.

Its organic character, paired with superior dynamics, excellent imaging, and full-bodied vocals bring details to life. And the 109 Pro is easy to drive from most devices, portable sources or intricate home setups.

The spider-shaped structure and the acoustically transparent grill inside the ear-cup expose the driver from both sides, creating Meze's most open pattern to date and achieving an ideal anatomical fit.

Built for Comfort

Velour cushions surround the ears, providing a luxuriously comfortable fit while maintaining an optimal seal for natural sound. As velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions. We agree they are super comfy!

The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.

Superior Build Equals Superior Experience

The 109 PRO is all about comfort, from the structural design of the headphone to the choice of materials. Once placed on your head, you should forget they are even there, leaving you with nothing but the music.

With this perspective in mind, a combination of walnut wood, zinc, manganese steel, and vegan leather synergize into a comfortable, lightweight, yet highly durable headphone.

Sustainably Harvested Wood

The black walnut wood chosen and used for Meze headphones comes strictly from sources with a certificate of origin, harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This is a great way to protect the environment while leaving room for new life, and an opportunity for those old trees to shine once again in the shape of a Meze headphone.

Made With Longevity in Mind

The 109 PRO is crafted for sustainability. Meze Audio is sensitive to the fact that our choices today have a great impact in the world of tomorrow, thus they design products that last. It is their belief that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint. Following this philosophy, the 109 PRO can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if needed, extending the life of the product beyond expected limits.

HiFiMAN's New Flagship SUSVARA UNVEILED Headphone Takes You to Planar-Magnetic Heaven with its Completely Open Design

• Reveals more musical detail with its extremely open design
• Grills have been removed to eliminate undesired sound reflections
• Newly developed nanometer HiFiMAN diaphragm
• Magnetic Veils fit over ear cups when not in use to prevent magnetic absorption
• Features HiFiMAN’s Stealth Magnet asymmetrical, double-sided circuit
• Includes 6.3mm and XLR cables

Susvara Unveiled

The fully open-back design of HiFiMAN's new flagship planar completely eliminates the negative effects of sound wave reflection, removing the last impediment to exceptional sound quality. It's namesake highlights the Unveiled nature of the depth and inherent beauty of the music to the listener.

HiFiMAN's technology has evolved since the OG SUSVARA. Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is sensitive to reflected sound waves, HFM chose to further increase the openness of the back of the headphone which was the inspiration for the UNVEILED's removable back panel.

A Worthy Successor

The Susvara Unveiled boasts a silver conductor layer leveraging its highly conductive properties. With elevated sensitivity and lower resistance, the Susvara Unveiled is much easier to drive - a welcome achievement! High-end audio performance demands an increased sense of airiness, and the Unveiled delivers this in abundance.

HiFiMAN’s Stealth Magnet technology is also incorporated and features their proven asymmetrical, double-sided magnetic circuit. The Stealth system maximizes efficient transmission of sound and control, dropping distortion to extremely low levels for naturally warm sound, masterful imaging, and incredible transparency.

Window Shade Design

Traditional headphones use a mesh with a lower opening ratio for the grill leading to reflections and refraction detrimental to sound quality. The incredibly light nanometer thickness diaphragm is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected / refracted by the mesh. Therefore, HiFiMAN uses a window shade design to increase the opening rate, maximize the grill exposure and reduce the probability of reflection and refraction. The result: dramatically improved sound quality.

However, this window shade design cannot completely avoid reflection and refraction. Only by eliminating the window shade + grill design will near lossless sound quality be achieved.

Magnetic Veils

Specially designed Magnetic Veils have been introduced to protect the fully open drivers of the Susvara Unveiled.

Due to the magnetic properties of the driver, it's important to cover the ear cups with these Veils to avoid damage caused by absorption of magnetic objects when not in use.

The Ear Pads

The elegant asymmetry of the SUSVARA UNVEILED's ear pads conform to and fit around the human ear, comfortably distributing the weight evenly yet offering a secure and sound grip. The pads themselves are gently beveled, contoured and mold to the user's head, providing superb comfort for long listening sessions.

Cables

The cable configuration is a single crystalline copper wire alongside a single crystalline silver wire. The highly reliable socket reduces contact resistance to extremely low levels without affecting the transmission of audio signals.

The supplied cables feature 6.3mm and 4-pin XLR plugs for maximum flexibility with your professional audio gear.

HIFIMAN's Susvara is the Ultimate Flagship in Planar Magnetic Performance

• Open-back planar magnetic headphones with HIFIMAN's patented Stealth Magnets
• Nanometer-grade diaphragm provides incredible speed and clarity
• Unmatched headphone performance
• Includes 6.3mm and XLR cables

Flagship Planar Magnetic Headphones with Stealth Magnets

Susvara uses "Stealth Magnet" technology to provide an acoustically transparent sound without interference from reflections and diffractions. The nanometer-grade diaphragm is under a millionth of a meter thick and works well with the stealth magnets to ensures a remarkable tonal quality and clarity with a frequency response of 6 Hz to 75 kHz and an impedance of 60Ω.

Acoustically Invisible Stealth Magnets

The Advanced magnet design, used for the first time on Susvara, aims to be acoustically transparent. In traditional designs, the magnets get in the way of the sound waves, by reflection and diffraction. This creates constructive and destructive interference; as these points shift with frequency changes, there is a mass of wave interference taking place

The use of “Stealth Magnets” on the Susvara means the sound wave reproduction can take place without the necessary magnets getting in their own way, ruining the sonic purity of their output

Nanometer Grade Diaphragm

With it's complex construction, high tensile strength, low thickness, and low mass, Susvara's diaphragm combined with HiFiMAN stealth magnet technology produces audio with remarkable tonal quality and clarity. And with a thickness under a millionth of a meter along with the gold-coating on the diaphragm's conductor, it produces low distortion levels and achieves superior dynamic response.

Window Shade System

The "Window Shade" on the Susvara has been painstakingly optimized to avoid any resonant frequencies, leading to superior aural purity. While it offers an appealing aesthetic, it more importantly provides practical protection for the ultra-fine diaphragm.

Ergonomic and Intentional Design

The CNC-milled metal headband is hand-polished and accommodates a wide range of head sizes with an overall weight of 15.9 oz. The replaceable asymmetrical earpads conform around the human ear, comfortably distributing the weight evenly, but with a secure and sound grip.

The supplied cable is made stronger with the improved materials of crystalline copper and crystalline silver wire, which provide a wide frequency range, low signal loss, and enhanced emphasis on the low-end for quality audio reproduction. SUSVARA comes with a detachable 1/4" cable and a detachable 4-pin XLR cable.

In the HE1000, the film used is so thin, it is a diaphragm in nanometer thickness which is a breakthrough core technology developed by HiFiMAN and first of its kind in a headphone application. Working with this advanced material is extremely challenging, yet the successful incorporation of this film as the HE1000's planar driver is the cornerstone of its remarkable sound.

Advanced Asymmetrical Magnetic Circuit

Seven years of painstaking research with this groundbreaking design offers near perfect reproduction of live music. The design uses smaller magnets on the ear-facing side which reduces interference in sound wave transmissions from the diaphragm.

Craftsmanship and Comfort

The metal structure is created via CNC milling and hand-polishing. To meet the critical standard set out by HiFiMAN, the surface finishing is handled and refined by meticulous craftsmanship.

The ergonomic headband design is comfortable for most people, with greater reliability and durability. And the asymmetrical earcups follow the natural shape of the human ear for increased comfort and decreased fatigue.

Sturdy 3.5mm Connectors

As with all HiFiMAN products, the HE1000 Stealth features 3.5mm headphone connectors that are angled at 10°, thereby lessening the pressure points associated with straight-angled connectors. These pressure points sometimes stress the connection, but the angled design ensures a solid, reliable and long-lasting link between the headphone and the cable.

Debuting the HiFiMAN HE1000 Unveiled, Featuring the Heritage and Innovation Found in the Susvara Unveiled

• 2024 Latest edition to the HE1000 series of planar magnetic headphones
• Features HiFiMAN's Stealth Magnet asymmetrical, double-sided circuit
• Magnetic Veils fit over ear cups when not in use to prevent magnetic absorption
• Equipped with new hybrid mono-crystalline copper and silver cable

HE1000 Unveiled

The fully open-back design of this planar magnetic headphone eliminates the negative sound effects of sound wave reflection, an obstacle that impairs sound quality. The model is named Unveiled because the depth and inherent beauty of the music are unveiled to the listener.

The technology is based on the cutting-edge innovation and heritage of HIFIMAN's flagship headphones, Susvara Unveiled. Since the nanometer thickness diaphragm is sensitive to reflected sound waves, it is necessary to further increase the openness of the back of the headphone. This was the inspiration for the HE1000 Unveiled's removable back panel.

The Power of Stealth

The HE1000 Unveiled headphones feature HIFIMAN’s proprietary stealth magnets. These magnets have an innovative shape that minimizes turbulence and sound wave reflection, allowing sound to pass through the magnetic gaps without degradation. This advanced design ensures superior sound clarity by eliminating the distortion typically caused by traditional magnetic designs. As a result, the HE1000 offers an unparalleled listening experience, free from the unwanted effects caused by obstructive magnetic structures.

Window Shade Design

Traditional headphones use a mesh with a lower opening ratio for the grill leading to reflections and refraction detrimental to sound quality. The incredibly light nanometer thickness diaphragm is easily disturbed by sound waves reflected / refracted by the mesh. Therefore, HiFiMAN uses a window shade design to increase the opening rate, maximize the grill exposure and reduce the probability of reflection and refraction. The result: dramatically improved sound quality.

However, this window shade design cannot completely avoid reflection and refraction. Only by eliminating the window shade + grill design will near lossless sound quality be achieved.

Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm

At the heart of the HE1000 Unveiled is a revolutionary nanometer-thick diaphragm. This ultra-lightweight membrane enables exceptional transient response, delivering remarkable detail and dynamics. The thinness of the diaphragm allows for rapid movement, which translates into a more accurate and immersive audio experience. Coupled with the stealth magnet design, the nanometer diaphragm ensures the headphones deliver lifelike sound reproduction with minimal distortion.

Magnetic Veils

Specially designed Magnetic Veils have been introduced to protect the fully open drivers of the HE1000 Unveiled. Due to the magnetic properties of the driver, it's important to cover the ear cups with these Veils to avoid damage caused by absorption of magnetic objects when not in use.

Ergonomic Designed Ear Pads

The earpads of the HE1000 UNVEILED are crafted for both sound quality and comfort. The outer part of the earpads uses leather, which absorbs and stabilizes sound, preventing unwanted leakage. The side that touches the face is made from highly breathable materials, ensuring accurate sound transmission while enhancing comfort for long listening sessions.

High-Quality Cables

The cable configuration used for the HE1000 Unveiled is a single crystalline copper wire alongside a single crystalline silver wire. The highly reliable socket reduces contact resistance to extremely low levels without affecting the transmission of audio signals.

This design is acoustically transparent minimizing the degradation of the sound waves and lowering distortion to produce accurate sonic output.

Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm Based on SUSVARA

Why do planar magnetic headphones often sound better than traditional dynamic headphones? Since the conductor layer (voice coil) on the diaphragm of the planar is evenly distributed on the surface of the diaphragm, the electromagnetic force that drives the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound acts much more uniformly than the voice coil acts on the surface of the cone-type diaphragm on a dynamic headphone. Ultimately, the phase distortion is lower, and the spatial information of sound reproduction suffers less loss than dynamic headphones, while providing a much larger sound stage and better positioning.

The result: ANANDA NANO has a wide frequency range: 5Hz to 55kHz. The 3-dimensional sound field wraps around the listener's ears, with the positioning and imaging of musical instruments precisely located, like listening to a live performance.

Artisan Crafted Open-Back Sound

The Fostex TH616 Limited Edition open-back headphone commemorates the 50th anniversary of the birth of Fostex. Carved from high-quality solid black walnut wood in a design reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodwork, the headphone has been crafted into an open housing while achieving reliable acoustic performance. Enjoy a new premium-feeling headphone that combines "Japanese" taste with an excellent acoustic structure, carefully assembled one by one.

Detailed Features

Open housing carved from solid black walnut. The housing is carved from solid black walnut, a high-quality wood, and has an opening with a design inspired by the fantastic natural phenomenon of sunlight shining through gaps in the trees. This machined design not only reduces weight and maintains rigidity, but also avoids uniformity on the housing surface, suppressing the generation of mode vibrations and reducing unnecessary resonance. In addition, in order to eliminate the effect on the sound caused by the resonance of the openings, all the openings vary in layout to suppress the occurrence of resonance at specific frequencies.

Biodyna diaphragm uses ultra-fine bio-cellulose fiber material. Utilizing know-how accumulated over many years, Fostex blended bio-cellulose and other fibers under optimal conditions. Achieves low specific gravity, high Young's modulus, and high internal loss. In addition to delicate, high-resolution, beautiful mid- and high-frequency reproduction, the adoption of free edges with good linearity faithfully reproduces large-amplitude low-mid frequencies.

Super strong magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit is equipped with a 50mm driver unit with a magnetic flux density of 1 Tesla. The ultra-strong magnetic circuit provides a wide dynamic range with low distortion.

High quality and lightweight mechanical parts. Aluminum is used extensively for mechanical parts, achieving a high quality feel and light weight. By using high-density resin for the baffle plate, a reduction in the generation of resonance sound has been achieved for high resolution, rich midrange, and high-quality bass reproduction.

Detachable connector port. The cable side terminals and the detachable contact terminals on the headphone body side are rhodium plated for high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, improving reliability. In addition, it is also possible to support balanced connections with the optional replacement balanced cable ET-H3.0N7BL.

High-performance pure copper headphone cable. A high-performance pure copper HiFC high-grade cable that exhibits excellent conductivity through special processing is used to clearly express all bands.

Soft leather-like high-grade artificial leather pad with low-repulsion cushioning. Provides a comfortable fit and high sound insulation.

Fosi Audio Enters the World of IEMs with the IM4, Delivering Rich Musical Detail with an Open-Back Design

• 10mm PU Beryllium-coated diaphragm
• Dual-chamber acoustic design
• Powerful N52 dual-magnet for control and speed
• Includes OFC Silver-plated cable

Fosi's First IEM

The name "IM4" reflects the phrase "I am for," a declaration of support, advocacy, and identity. It is open-ended, inviting participation inside and out in both aesthetics and sound. 

The IM4 features an open-back acoustic design and a 10mm beryllium-coated diaphragm driver, delivering a spacious soundstage and musical detail, a true reflection of Fosi's brand spirit: Hear the Unheard. Their tuning team aimed to create a balanced, relaxed, and versatile listening experience.

High-Fidelity Sound

10mm PU Beryllium-Coated Diaphragm
PU ensures smooth mids and punchy lows, while the beryllium coating adds clarity and sparkle to high frequencies.

N52 Dual-Magnet
A powerful, stable magnetic field improves control and speed, delivering cleaner sound with better dynamics.

Dual-Chamber Acoustic Design
The front chamber's nine-port design ensures balanced frequencies, while the rear chamber extends treble detail. 

OFC Silver-Plated Cable
Braided with 4 strands of 392-core 5N high-purity OFC silver-plated wire, the cable offers excellent signal transmission and shielding for richly detailed sound. 

Effortless Acoustics with Natural Flow

The open-back design of IM4 minimizes internal reflections and pressure buildup, creating a more open, natural sound with reduced fatigue. The rear chamber is filled with acoustic damping material to absorb standing waves, reducing distortion and harshness. The IM4 was tuned with listener feedback to ensure smooth, balanced sound across genres. 

Comfortable Fit

Developed with insights from millions of hearing-aid fitting samples, the ergonomic housing adapts to diverse ear shapes, delivering a secure and seamless fit. Crafted from CNC-machined aluminum alloy, IM4 offers a smooth touch that's gentle on the skin. The hollowed structure cuts the weight to just 38g, providing pressure-free comfort for long listening. 

Swappable Components

Sound Nozzles
Comes with both aluminum alloy and brass nozzles. Aluminum reduces sibilance with added brass; brass enhances mids and treble with clarity. 

Tuning Ear Tips
Includes three tuning sets: balanced, bass, and deep bass. Each available in S/M/L sizes. 

2-Pin 0.78mm Cable
The detachable 2-pin design supports 3.5mm and 4.4mm cable upgrades, allowing flexible customization.
