A Decade of Planar Renaissance
HIFIMAN is proudly celebrating its first decade and noting here
its many milestones in those first ten years.
Though the company's first product was a landmark portable
player, HIFIMAN is best known for its high performance, full-size
headphones utilizing planar magnetic technology. Though this
technology wasn't new when HIFIMAN began its journey, it did
present significant challenges to headphone designers. Planar
headphones were heavy, uncomfortable and very inefficient
requiring large amplifiers that didn't readily exist at the time.
HIFIMAN met those challenges head on and began designing
headphones that not only sounded amazing but pushed at the
boundaries of what was possible from a planar magnetic
headphone. For example, the Edition X V2 is so efficient it can be
driven by a smartphone. That was unthinkable just a few years
ago. This development trend steadily continues to today where
the planar has stylish headphones that combine best-in-class
sonic performance with sublime comfort.
"I give a lot of credit to HIFIMAN for the renaissance we're now
seeing in high-end headphones, and in particular for the recent
resurgence of interest in planar magnetic headphones. Fang
Bian has done a great deal to advance the art of headphone
sound."
