HiFiMan Shangri La Jr

HiFiMan's accessible entry into true electrostatic performance: the Shangri-La Jr delivers the effortless speed and transparency of an electrostatic headphone with a purpose-built 6SN7 tube energizer that's designed specifically to bring out its best.

Type and Technology

Over-ear, open-back, electrostatic. Requires a compatible electrostatic energizer, available here as headphone only or bundled with HiFiMan's dedicated Shangri-La Jr tube energizer. Cannot be driven from a standard headphone output.

Sound Character

Impressively detailed and spacious; the Shangri-La Jr delivers a wide, three-dimensional soundstage and the characteristically effortless, low-mass presentation of electrostatic technology. Treble is airy and extended, imaging is precise, and the overall character is refined and musical without the sterility some electrostatics can exhibit.

Build and Comfort

Lightweight electrostatic headphone with premium earpads and a comfortable headband. The dedicated tube energizer uses a 6SN7 tube circuit designed to complement the headphone's sonic character.

Best For

Audiophiles curious about electrostatic technology who want a complete, thoughtfully matched system, or experienced listeners adding an electrostatic chain to an existing setup.
