My first exposure to Hifiman headphones was during the local November Hifishow in 2014 when there was a dealer that displayed an HE400i, HE560i, and even the mighty HE500.

Exotic and Extravagant: B&W P5 S2 Review
Small on-ear headphones have a weird place in this hobby. They are extraordinarily small, heavily marketed for casual use, but tend to be expensive for the sound they provide making them almost a non-option for most headphone enthusiasts.

That’s why I’m more than elated to get possession […]

Focal Spirit Classic Review
Prior to learning about their headphone line and owning the Spirit Classic, I’ve always known Focal as a manufacturer of high-end home speakers.
