Our take on the HiFiMAN HE-300

by David Brown

Get into HiFi and elevate your listening

HiFiMAN HE-300

If you're ready to get more out of your music, HiFiMAN is here to help. This young company has turned heads in the audio world with their impressive line of planar magnetic headphones. Now you can enjoy the warm sonic signature of their planar drivers in an affordable dynamic driver headphone — the HE-300. The open-back design creates a wide soundfield, giving your music an organic quality, with deep bass and smooth mids and highs. The HE-300 is a great way to jump on the HiFiMAN bandwagon without breaking the bank.

These lightweight, comfortable headphones are sturdy and as easily paired with a portable music player as they are with your home system. The HE-300's neutral tonal balance performs well with a wide range of musical styles, and the soft velour earcups will keep you listening for hours. The detachable cable is substantial and connects into each earcup, indicating HiFiMAN's dedication to sound quality. Plug them directly into your music source, or pair them with a separate headphone amplifier for improved bass response and clarity.

Looking for a great-sounding portable music player? Check out the HiFiMAN Express HM-601 Slim.

Highlights:

  • 50mm dynamic drivers
  • open-back design for spacious soundstage
  • large velour ear pads for long-lasting comfort
  • detachable cable connects to both earcups
  • frequency response: 15-22,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 93 dB
  • impedance: 50 ohms
  • weight: 9.52 oz.
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee
