A smaller mass from either the diaphragm or conductor results
in improved upper frequency response.
Outstanding Sound Quality
Compared with conventional dynamic headphones, planar magnetic technol-
ogy offers a superior sounding experience in terms of overall quality, especial-
ly when it comes to the aural soundstage. Dynamic headphones utilize con-
ductors that vibrate in select areas of the diaphragm. This results in a large
percentage of the diaphragm not being directly driven by those conductors,
resulting in somewhat diminished performance. Planar magnetic headphones
are fundamentally different in that their weight (conductors + diaphragm) is
much lower than dynamic headphones. The result is superior performance,
especially in the upper frequencies, or treble.

Planar
Planar headphones feature conductive layers distributed throughout
the surface of diaphragm. The diaphragm is evenly driven by the mag-
netic force so that planar headphones produce significantly lower
distortion when compared with conventional dynamic headphones.
This lower distortion results in better overall reproduction of minute
details. Positioning of instruments and other elements of imaging are
demonstrably better, with a soundstage that is consistently wide and
natural sounding.

Nanometer Thickness
Diaphragm
Unlike conventional dynamic drivers, HIFIMAN’s planar magnetic headphones
utilize a super-thin film in proximity to the magnet to produce sound that is
detailed, with a wide soundstage. (The thinner the film, the lower the mass, which
yields a quick response with low distortion.)
The film used in the HE6 WiFi is so thin that it is a nanometer thick – a HIFIMAN
innovation. If viewed from the side, it would be invisible to the naked eye. This
development is a cornerstone of the company’s reputation for remarkable sound.
Assures Remarkable Reproduction
The Stealth Magnets
The stealth magnets use high-precision laser cutting technology, achieving
the success of sound resolution and low distortion.
The stealth magnet structure optimizes the air flow and reflection in the
magnetic gap of the coil, making the sound of the voice coil more delicate
and obtaining a more pure and natural sound.

Firmware Upgrade
In Bluetooth mode, the function key’s LED light is off. When ready to pair, the Power
Button light alternately blinks blue and green.
During playback, the LED light blinks blue at five second intervals. When paused, the
LED light blinks green at five second intervals.
When charging, the power button LED light will remain red until fully
charged, at which point it will turn green.
The power button’s LED light will flash red when power is low.
Firmware Update
HIFIMAN will periodically offer firmware updates to ensure maximum
efficiency and performance. It is recommended that you follow the
update procedure every 2-3 months.
To update the firmware, clear the network configuration by pressing the
WiFi Function button for 3-5 seconds until the light flashes red three
times, at which point you should release the button. Once the
connection is cleared, the headphone will power down.
Restart the headphone and follow the WiFi network matching
procedure detailed in the WiFi Mode LED Display section. When “About”
appears on the setup page on your device (see WiFi Connection page),
click Manual Update and import the update file. The update will be
complete the next time the headphone is turned on.
After the update is complete, restart the headphone and re-match it to
the network.

USB Audio Mode
In USB mode, the function light will remain purple. Charging is disabled
when in USB mode.
The HE6 WiFi is an all-in-one over-ear headphone that supports high-definition Bluetooth
playback, media playback, and USB Audio. It defaults to Bluetooth mode when turned on,
and you can cycle through the three modes by pressing the function button.
1. Power On/Off Button: Press 3-5 seconds to power the device. It will default to
Bluetooth mode.
2. Function Button: Press the button to select a preferred connection: WiFi, Bluetooth,
or USB-C
3. Volume Buttons: Tap “+” to increase the volume; “-” to decrease the volume
4. WiFi Reset Jack: To reset the WiFi network, insert a paper clip or small pin into the
reset jack for 3-5 seconds. The WiFi function indicator light will flash blue and red
three times, indicating the WiFi connection is cleared.
In WiFi mode, the LED remains green. (It may take up to two minutes to enter WiFi
mode after the headphone is turned on.)
The headphone will enter AP (access point) mode, which allows it to connect to the
wireless sources, i.e. a smartphone or tablet. When the LED light blinks green once
per second, the headphone is ready to connect to the WiFi network.
Once connected, the status LED will remain on and the playback LED will blink once
per second.

This headphone supports Mesh Wi-Fi connectivity for extended coverage, but delays, stuttering or disconnec-
tions may occur during handover between nodes. Connecting to a single router node is recommended for optimal
stability. Compatibility issues may exist with certain Mesh routers, and we will continuously optimize performance
via firmware updates.
As a standard network device, this headphone is recommended to be on the same network as the host device. To
avoid affecting normal operation, do not isolate it with firewall or use it in complex network environments.
The performance of this headphone depends on the network environment. A 5G or faster connection speed is
highly recommended.

Find your local WiFi network,
click on it, and enter the password.
Following setup, the system will
prompt you to reconnect to the
WiFi. Click to enter, at which point
you will see: “Setup complete,
please close the page.” Close the
settings page to complete
the configuration.
6. Once again, open the device’s
Wireless Network page.
AP-HIFIMAN-STREAMER will
have disappeared, indicating
the headphone is matched to
the network. When the function
button's green light is steady,
it indicates that the system has
entered WiFi mode, while the
indicator light will flash when
music is playing.
