"A Steal, Pure and Simple"

One of the best values in full-size headphones, the HiFiMan HE-300 utilizes dynamic drivers and low impedance, so that they are easy to drive from a portable device like an iPod or iPhone. But the HE-300 can also be used in a high quality hi-fi system with exceptional listening results.

"Hifiman has done it again, the HE-300 has set a new standard of performance for its price class," raves Steve Guttenberg at CNET.com.

"The HE-300s are one of those rare occasions where good performance meets a very attractive pricepoint," notes MG28 in his MeetGadget.com review on July 25, 2011. "Based on the performance these headphones deliver, they are sure to become a massive success. At $299 these are a steal, pure and simple."

Impressive Sonic Signature

The HE-300 combines the advantages of a traditional dynamic design, such as 93 dB sensitivity and high output. But it offers the familiar sonic signature of HiFiMan's top-of-the-line reference models, which have made a huge splash with critics and headphone loves alike.

Comfortable Over the Long Haul

This is one comfortable headphone to use for extended listening sessions. It weights just 9.5 oz. and pampers you with a leather headband and soft velvet earpads. The HE-300's robust cable is 9-foot-long cable terminated with a 3.5mm plug. A 6.3mm adaptor is included. The cable is detachable and can be replaced and upgraded at a later date, if you are ever so tempted.

"Pure Musicality"

"I really think that the musicality aspect can go head to head with the big boys and even beat some of them," reports Headfonia.com. "The result has been nothing short of pure musicality."

"The HE-300 also sounded fine plugged into my iPod Classic. That open quality is a rare treat, compared with my usual in-ear headphones. Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall, 1971 is a gorgeous, audiophile quality recording, and it was sounding so good it was hard to believe it was coming out of an iPod. Not all full-size headphones are suitable for portable use, but the HE-300 definitely is. As you can see, Hifiman has done it again, the HE-300 has set a new standard of performance for its price class."
