Drop + HIFIMAN HE-X4 Planar Magnetic Headphones

We teamed up with HIFIMAN to redefine the entry point for planar magnetic headphones. Taking the best elements from our HE4XX and HE5XX models—and incorporating several all-new components—we created the Drop + HIFIMAN HE-X4. An optimal blend of accessibility and audio quality, it’s a planar magnetic standout that impresses on its own or paired with an amp. Based on the HE4XX’s classic build, the HE-X4 features earcups that HIFIMAN listeners know and love, plus an updated headband for improved sturdiness and comfort. On the sonic side, dual-sided magnet arrays similar to that of the HE5XX help the HE-X4 achieve improved sensitivity over the HE4XX—with a distinctly warm and subtly dark tone all its own.
