Our Take
High-end detail is brought to the fore, offering a view into the music free of any veiling glare, producing pinpoint imaging. The headphone is extremely light and comfortable, with nice metalwork detailing on each earcup. The Jade II is a technologically superior electrostatic headphone that can be purchased alone or as part of a full system with an outboard amplifier.
The Jade II epitomizes electrostatic speed and performance. A low-distortion nanotech driver measuring less than 0.001mm couples near zero distortion with lightning-fast response and a nano-particle coated diaphragm that provides an extreme high-frequency response. Nano-particle coated diaphragms provide extended high-frequency response, revealing every last detail of well-recorded music. The combination of lightweight aluminum alloy construction, padded earcups, and a hybrid headband design ensures a comfortable fit, even for extended periods of time.
Return of JADE!
When HIFIMAN introduced its first electrostatic headphone, Jade, in 2008, it quickly became a favorite of audiophiles and music lovers who fell in love with its natural expansive sound field.
Today, HIFIMAN introduced Jade II, a worthy successor to the original that benefits from many years of research and development. The new Jade II builds upon the reputation of the original classic with improved sonics. Reaching from the deepest lows all the way up to 90KHZ, HIFIMAN's oval-shaped earcups provide the maximum diaphragm size for deep, resonant bass response. Coupling near zero distortion with lighting fast response and an expanded more intimately enveloping soundstage, Jade II places the listening in the best seat in the house!
