The new HIFIMAN HE-R9 features high sensitivity characteristics which HIFIMAN say is down to their use of rare earth magnets and the company’s classic Topology Diaphragm for detailed high frequency response to 35Hz. Nano scale particles are applied to the diaphragm in a variety of patterns and layers, as part of its construction process.
Frequency response is measured at 15Hz – 35kHz. Sensitivity is 100dB and impedance is 32 ohms.
HIFIMAN TOPOLOGY DIAPHRAGM
“We originally introduced the Topology Diaphragm in a dynamic closed-back design last year in our reference R10D dynamic driver headphone,” said Dr. Fang Bian, Founder and CEO, HIFIMAN Electronics. “This latest version applies a similar design in a headphone that comes in at a lower price point, but with sonic attributes that are nearly comparable to its older sibling.”

EXTENDED LISTENING
The HIFIMAN HE-R9 is designed for extended listening sessions. The headband features high-grade memory foam for maximum comfort and elasticity. The headband skeleton is made of steel that is lightweight and strong. On the outside, real leather is used and the newly designed ear cups are large and light.
CONNECTION
For compatibility with the highest range of sources, the HE-R9’s socket accommodates both dual-sided 3.5mm and single-sided balanced cables. The addition of HIFIMAN’s Bluemini R2R dongle* turns the R9 into a high-resolution wireless headphone.
