The Evolution of a Masterpiece, The HIFIMAN Edition XV Improves on its Predecessors With a Thinner Diaphragm and 2nd Generation Headband 2025 latest addition to the Edition X series Enhanced magnet design using Rare-Earth magnetic materials Features 2nd generation NEO Supernano diaphragm New composite headband with rotatable hinges and reduced weight Edition XV The Edition XV employs newly engineered magnetic materials that deliver the sensitivity of rare-earth designs without the use of rare-earth metals. Combined with the second-generation Neo Supernano Diaphragm, now 60% thinner than before, it achieves lightning-fast transients and remarkable clarity throughout the frequency range. Enhanced Magnet HIFIMAN’s new Edition XV uses rare-earth-free permanent magnet materials with a precisely engineered shape that reduces distortion and improves sound clarity. This design achieves sensitivity and control on par with rare-earth magnets, while offering a more sustainable, environmentally friendly approach without compromising the planar magnetic performance HIFIMAN is known for. 2nd Generation Nanometer Thickness Diaphragm At the heart of the Edition XV is HIFIMAN’s second-generation nanometer-thick diaphragm, now just 60% the thickness of the original. This ultra-lightweight membrane further enhances transient response, enabling the driver to reproduce even finer details with greater precision. The reduced mass allows for faster, more accurate movement, translating into improved dynamics, clarity, and immersion. New Features HIFIMAN has refined the Edition XV’s comfort and fit with a newly designed composite headband, now 20–30g lighter and equipped with rotatable hinges for effortless adjustment and extended listening comfort. The updated 3.5mm cable is fully user-replaceable, with universally compatible sockets similar to those found on most popular audio devices.
