Headphoneus Supremus
Speculation here but since dynamic driver headphones isn't what hifiman is about, they could technically put out something amazing for $300-500 and have it compete with $600-1500 headphones without putting their planars in a weird spot. The planars presentation differ from dynamic drivers enough that comparison would have enough differences to not say well this is as good as the he400i or he560, why would I pay for the planar magnetic? Whereas a company that have to follow an order of mid-fi at 200-500 then if they produce something amazing it'll need to reflect it in price..you get the picturem
