Where to next? I have this image in my mind of Dr. Fang Bian of Hifiman just sitting every Xmas pondering how to hit the market the following year or looking back and thinking what he could do a little bit bett...

$401-500, DAP's, Gear Reviews

No matter the area, Hifiman always has pushed the envelope. For example, their first DAP was the monstrosity known as the HM-801. At 9 ounces and an entire inch thick, it, put bluntly, was a brick. It was a won...

Gear Reviews, Headphones, Orthodynamic

A new Hifiman planer headphone is quite common these days so the impact of a new arrival is perhaps a tad more muted than say the heady hurrah of the unboxing of the HE6. So with the release of the HE400 planer...

I’ll just get this out of the way now. I want a pair of these. Never have I ever heard an IEM that’s just so fluid as this. I haven’t even looked at my Monster Turbine Pros for the time I’ve had this. Is that e...
