Ideal for
Indoor Use
Open-Back Design
Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.
However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.
These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.
Electrostatic Drivers
Electrostatic drivers use the concept of static electricity (i.e., no moving charges) to create an electric field, as opposed to drivers that work by electromagnetic force. These drivers are capable of capturing even the minutest details in your recordings. Electrostatic drivers are known for lending excellent details, treble extension and "wide" frequency response.
Needs Amplification
Headphones and IEMs require a certain level of power to sound their best and work at their full potential. When your headphones or IEMs are underpowered, they can sound thin or muffled.
Amplifiers are required to provide adequate power to your headphone or IEMs to perform at their best. Simply put, amplifiers allow a weak audio signal to be boosted to a powerful one.
To put it into perspective, devices such as your phones and laptops come with an amplifier, but they offer very limited output power. This output may not be sufficient to power headphones and IEMs to shine at their best. This is where a dedicated amplifier is required to deliver adequate power to hear your music in all its glory.
DESCRIPTION
THE ULTIMATE FLAGSHIP EXPERIENCE
The Shangri-La is not just a headphone. It is a combination of an over-ear with a special tube amplifier that offers a sound worthy of it. This custom-made amp features the finest 300B tubes for an audio quality like none other.
24-SETUP LEVEL OF VOLUME CONTROL
Say goodbye to noise, even during the slightest change in volume. The 24-step level of volume control uses 23 separate resistors. This makes each volume level independent of the others.
HIGHLY OPTIMIZED THIN DIAPHRAGM FOR CLEAR SOUND
For the best sound experience, the Shangri-La comes with a diaphragm that is so fine (0.001mm), it is thinner than a strand of human hair. It has a nanoparticle coating which enables it to move extremely fast and gives you an unsurpassed high-frequency response.
DISTORTION FREE SUPERIOR SONIC EXPERIENCE
Enjoy music that flows through a range of frequencies from 7Hz to 120KHz. Like the diaphragm, even the metal mesh stators have a super-fine grating that let sound waves lower than 1 million hertz pass through without any distortion. The stators are crafted using a specialised metallic alloy. This gives you sonic stability with acoustically transparent audio.
EXPERIENCE 300B FOR REAL
Most headphones/amps come with transformers and capacitors to increase the voltage and drive the diaphragm. The Shangri-La has neither. Thus, nothing comes between the headphone and amp and you can directly listen to the four 300B vacuum tubes.
FLAGSHIP LEVEL COMFORT WITH SOFT HEADBAND, SPACIOUS EARPADS
The Shangri-La has been designed keeping in mind long music-listening sessions. The headphone is lightweight while the soft head pad is adjustable and ensures supreme comfort. The open-backed design gives you a view of the driver hard at work. Visitors are certainly going to come over for a second look.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this product?
The warranty period on all HiFiMAN comes with a 1 year warranty. To claim warranty read more here.
What sort of headphone is this?
The Shangri-La is an electrostatic headphone. It uses a diaphragm that is statically charged and is repelled/attracted to the stators nearby. You can read more about it here.
What is the difference between the Shangri-La and Shangri-La jr?
In a nutshell: The Shangri-La has a 300B vacuum tube amp while the Shangri-La jr has a 6SN7N vacuum tube amp. An important decision. Choose wisely.
Is there any risk of arcing?
Arcing is a situation when the voltage passing through the headphone increases suddenly and is transferred from one electrode to the diaphragm/ other electrode. This can cause heavy damage to the driver unit. Fortunately, the Shangri-La comes with a nanometer-thick dust cover that prevents arcing.
