![The secret to get the most from HiFiMan headphones (from Dr Fang Bian)
In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Dr. Fang Bian — the founder of HiFiMAN — to uncover the real philosophy behind their headphone tuning, the Unveiled technology, and what he sees coming next for planar magnetic headphones. From system pairing to nano-material diaphragms, this is straight from the source.

📋 WHAT WE COVER IN THIS INTERVIEW
• How the full signal chain shapes HiFiMAN headphones — the amp and cables matter as much as the headphone itself
• Why the Unveiled models sound smoother in the treble despite having more high-frequency energy
• The exact amplifier class and cable approach Dr. Fang uses when personally testing HiFiMAN headphones
• Why Bluetooth has a hard physical ceiling — and why Wi-Fi is the only real answer for audiophile wireless
• HiFiMANs nanotech diaphragm research and what thinner materials mean for the next generation of planars
• Hybrid driver designs combining planar and dynamic drivers — and why DSP makes it practical at scale
• HiFiMAN going public in March 2026 — and what that means for the product-first approach
