A Planar Renaissance
“I give a lot of credit to HIFIMAN for the renaissance we’re now seeing in high-end headphones, and in particular for the recent resurgence of interest in planar magnetic headphones. Fang Bian has done a great deal to advance the art of headphone sound.”Brent Butterworth, www.soundstagesolo.com
HIFIMAN introduced the closed-back HE5 in 2009 The HE5 featured a headphone shell constructed of solid wood, because the company’s founder, Dr. Fang Bian, believed it produced sonic output that is natural and warm.Thanks to his strong curiosity and persistent exploration of “new technology to improve sound quality,” Dr. Bian used his background in nanochemistry to reduce the weight of planar headphones while increasing the tensile strength.The advantages of HIFIMAN planar headphones are not only reflected in the technical aspects but in the pursuit of perfect musical expression. Over the years, HIFIMAN has launched an extensive series of high-quality headphones, including such popular models as HE6, HE500, and HE400. With every step, Dr. Bian, instead of resting on his laurels, devoted himself to research and new product HE1000, widely lauded as one of the “world’s most beautiful sounding headphones,” and high-sensitivity headphones like the Edition X, designed to bring out the best in smartphones, tablets, and other low voltage sources.
In 2020, HIFIMAN brings planar technology to a closed-back headphone: the HE-R1OP. It is the culmination of eight years of research and hard work. The exceptional performance speaks for itself.

HIFIMAN NEO “Super Nano Diaphragm”
HIFIMAN devoted extensive time and resources to create a nano-scale thickness diaphragm that allows for a lightning-fast response that not only produces stunning levels of detail but ultra-low distortion too. Making use of technologies originally developed for such revered models as the HIFIMAN Susvara, and borrowing the same driver shape, the HE-R1OP offers performance levels and musical purity that exceed expectations, especially for such a closed-back headphone.
Luxury, Inside and Out
The exterior of the headband is made of all-natural lambskin, a material famous for being both soft and luxurious. The inside is high-grade memory foam, selected to achieve the most comfortable fit and elasticity. The headband skeleton itself it made of solid steel.The structure is both lightweight and strong. robust yet delicate, and designed to convey detail and musicality that is unmatched in the market.
Solid Wood Ear Cups: Closed, Yet Open
The large internal space of the HE-R1OP’s cups brings huge relative spatial volume and necessary breathing space to the powerful planar driver inside. Thanks to countless tunings, the HE-R1OP offers the best attributes of closed and open-back headphones in a single model.The CNC carving creates a work of art, marrying wood and aviation-grade aluminum in graceful elegance and simple style.
Tranquility Pads
The HE-R1OP’s “Tranquility” ear pads feature high-quality leather on the outside, with a ring-shaped inner surface to absorb sound and prevent sound leakage through the sides of the ear pad. This forces the sound to target the listener’s ear. The contact edge is constructed of highly permeable material to ensure optimal head comfort.The outcome of this advanced engineering is a transparent, coherent, and wide soundstage and maximum comfort.
Cable
The HE-RIOP cable features a newly designed, single-crystal, copper silver-plated structure. The combination of a high number of strands and ratio of the various ingredients ensure low signal loss and the unshakable strength to withstand hours of use, day after day, year after year.The new TRRS plug/socket solution allows for a direct balanced input that is routed to the appropriate drivers. Easy to plug, unplug, replace, and swap. The rugged 3.5mm socket offers solid contact resistance for always reliable signal transmission.The 1-1E-R1OP includes three different cable options: 3.5mm, 6.35mm, and balanced XLR, for compatibility with the widest variety of audio sources, amplifiers, and professional audio equipment.

Headband Adjustment
For the best possible fit, use the two adjustment blocks to adjust the position of the headband strap.
Replace Ear Pads
The earpads are designed to be directly attached to the earphones, so if you need to replace the ear pads, please attach them carefully. To remove old pads, directly pull from the edge away from the cup housing. They are attached with Velcro and should peel off easily.
Care and Maintenance
Planar headphones benefit from break-ins to achieve optimum performance. Usually, this takes up to 150 hours. There is nothing special you need to do other than enjoy your headphones.Wipe the surfaces (ear pads, cups) with a microfiber cloth and store the headphone in a dry, cool place, away from dust, heat, humidity, sunlight, young children, and pets.Do not expose the headphone to excessive heat or cold temperatures. Do not use any headphones while driving or operating machinery. Do not use volatile substances to clean the headphone. Alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and dish detergent may harm the headphone.
