High-Fidelity Minimal Music Players

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Hifiman is a Music Player for Sounds Afficionados

— January 30, 2014 — Tech
The music player industry is governed by a few giants, Apple and Sony, with some others thrown in as well. For the most part, music player popularity has declined because of the arrival of smart phones and the ability for people to use them as their personal, portable speakers. HiFiMan doesn't believe in this though, and still continues to put the best of the best in terms of high quality music players.

The HiFiMan HM-700 is the top of the list if you care about the sound quality of your music. While being able to play music from the same place that you play games and make phone calls is great, but you can't beat high-fidelity music. This portable powerhouse features balanced headphone jack connectors, a 15-hour battery and high quality balanced in-ear monitors. This is the piece of tech you want if you want the best music on the go.
