    HIFIMAN HE-R10 Closed-Back Headphones Discussion & Impressions

    HIFIMAN HE-R10 headband will be made of suede, not pleather. The pic with parts here and there, shows 8 year R&D history of making close back planar. Wood cup design, which is the only place looks similar to other headphones, can be easily exchanged after removing some screws. Different wood...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

    This photo was from my Chinese social media weibo for a tech article about music cellphone  and DAC chips. That article was invited by a Chinese audio website. I use this photo to make some fun, not for any political reason. Btw, as a Chinese citizen, I have no idea and interest about who will...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

    I have mentioned that our headphones use multiple lays veneer plywood instead of a layer of veneer on the top of plastic. This material is very solid, thin and sound great. Our headphones are so reliable that it can survive after 1.5 to 2m drop test. Comparing to nature wood, it is easy to make...

    RE400, HE560 and HE400i/s are solid in our product line. We does not discontinue them after we have more expensive line. So Do you think we don't have the right to make more expensive products?

    Your words made me feel that you are the police. Las vegas police is nicer though.  1. We don't want to pay customer to give high rates. The problem is actually on the opposite: there are a lot of one star amazon reviews from customers who did not buy our products. Fortunately we have contacted...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

        In the previous 5 to 6 years, planar headphones developed so fast. After I built the lab from 2011, there are a lot of new ideas from our brain, and there are so many approach to be improved. From our current understanding of the technology, HE400 is overall lacking details, HE6 is too...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

    So lets describe your story here: You rent a pair HE1000 V1 from the cable company, and you like its sound quality but don't like its look. Then you trash something you don't have any experience, but same brand. Is it true?           Quote:

    OK. Fine. You admit that you have no experience with our current top planar headphone called HE1000 V2, and you have no experience about Edition 6 CES sample as well. Now, please tell me why you have to pay to audit HE1000 v1. Who did you pay to? HIFIMAN? If there are anybody who use our name to...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

    I feel extremely weird in a thread named "HIFIMAN Edition 6", and there are so many posts from those who did not see the actual CES sample, some of them don't even have experience with hifiman headphones. They are making conclusion how negative hifiman is, and how hifiman was kicked out from the...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

      I don't want to say too much about the design work. All I want to say is that, it is not smart to make judgement based on a photo, not a real headphone. Nature wood is easy because all you need to do is to go to wood vendor, send them the design file, select wood piece. Veneer plywood was...

    HIFIMAN headphones are not for everyone. We don't build for looking, we build for listening. .If you think sound quality worth its price, go ahead and buy it. The problem is that, in this thread, almost nobody ever listened or even saw the real sample.    Let me share you a secret: Edition 6...

    Hifiman Edition 6 Headphones

    Sound quality is the most important point to build a headphone. If there are two choices, one benefit sound quality, the other benefit looking, I will choose sound quality. Comfort and reliability is also important. We have to minimize total weight to make sure you can ware the headphone for...

    HIFIMAN Shangri-La: The New Electrostatic Headphones From HIFIMAN

    This is the way we build Shangri-La after I graduated from my PhD program/returned to China: We made one headphone sample per day, run-in for a month, test samples in high/low temperature and humid/dust situation. Then we do trouble-shooting. We made almost 1,000 headphones in the previous 5...

    HE1000 V1 is the first model we use wood veneer to make headphones. Veneer is light and much more reliable comparing to wood. There are issues at the beginning batch of HE1000 V1 because HIFIMAN team need some time to know more about veneer and tooling.    I decide to go to V2 because I feel...
