Many of you probably can relate to this scenario: you've got a good set of headphones or in-ear monitors, and you have a laptop or desktop and want to listen to music. The computer could be the one at home, or work, or maybe at a friend
Though you may not know it, chances are you’re not listening to music like you should be. Artists pour themselves into their work, yet many listeners don’t get the raw effect that was intended to be experienced. Why? The problem lies in your headphones. Consumers are often okay with th
HiFiMAN is the creation of Fang Bian, a headphone enthusiast with the knowledge and contacts to turn his enthusiasm into commercialized products. His firm designs, manufactures, and distributes high-end portable music players, headphone amplifiers, in-ear earphones, and full-sized headphones. The lat
I wasn't expecting much from the Hifiman Express HM-101 ; it's just a $39 outboard USB digital-to-analog converter and headphone amplifier. Well, this tiny USB-powered (it doesn't need batteries or an AC power supply) device definitely pumped up the sound of my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones! The
I first learned of the Chinese headphone specialist HiFiMAN through my interest in the firm’s cool planar magnetic headphones, including the HE-5LE, the HE-6, and the new HE-500. Very early on, though, I realized those planar magnetic ‘phones were quite power hungry and therefore coul
If you're still plugging your headphones and desktop speakers directily into your computer's headphone jack, but are curious what lies on the other side of the audiophile divide—consider giving this little $39 USB sound card a try. The new Hifiman Express HM-101 Portable USB Sound Card has no
Suddenly everybody seems to be very into entry level USB DACs. After Fiio and Ibasso, next comes another USB DAC from yet another Chinese manufacturer: Hifiman. As the Hifiman brand is synonymous with high-end stuff, they released the HM-101 under a Hifiman Express brand name. We’re talking a
HiFiMAN HE-500 ($899) De-ion - These are full size, open, planar magnetic headphones one step down from top of the HiFiMAN line. Pink Noise - Slightly lacking in bass extension, with mild warmth due to slightly reduced treble. Treble, however, has mildly pronounced narrow peak in mid-trebl
HiFiMAN HE-6 ($1199) De-ion - These are full size, open, planar magnetic headphones at the top of the HiFiMAN line. Pink Noise - Very even through bass and mids; slightly uneven and overall slightly accentuated treble with a moderate low to mid-treble peak (think: "shhh"). Bass Textur
If you’ve been reading Playback for a while, you will know that we hold HiFiMAN planar magnetic headphones in pretty high regard. No manufacturer is perfect, but HiFiMAN has managed to impress in its short time on the scene (or maybe because of it, since they seem to be trying very hard
This is certainly one of the most interesting Hifiman headphones around, and definitely has more to it than just being the entry level model. The full size dynamic driver category is a crowded place. Every brand has put their best efforts in the arena and yet I have yet to find one full size that can
I cover a wide range of headphones on this blog, everything from the $40 Deos earbuds to the state-of-the-art Woo Audio WES headphone amplifier ($4,500) and Stax SR-007Mk2 headphones ($2,410). I've written about a lot of great headphones priced between those two extremes. The Hifiman HE-500 headph

Just a year and a half ago I walked into the CanJam area of RMAF, and right smack-dab in the middle was Fang Bian, head of Head Direct and the HiFiMAN brand of headphone gadgetry. Fang always has something new going on; I wondered what it would be this time. He smiled, stood, and cheerfully greeted
Head-Direct's HiFiMan HM-602 is the second in a growing line of perfectionist-quality portable music players designed by Fang Bian, a 31-year-old audiophile and student of nanotechnology at the City University of New York's Hunter College. Bian's first HiFiMan design was the larger, heavier, more
