HiFi Man have gathered many awards and raving reviews in renowned HiFi industry publications for their products. HE-6 chosen as one of The Audiophiliac's best-sounding gear of 2012. RE-600 and HE400 were both EXC!TE Award Winners in 2014 with the HE400 having been named a RESI Award Winner two years prior. HE-560 won the 2015 "Audio Excellence Award", "CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards" and "2014 CES Editors’ Choice Award Winner".

HE1000 collected 2015 product of the year awards from both Soundstage! and HEADPHONE.GURU also winning the "CES Innovation Award Honouree" the following year. Its second reincarnation also went on to win the "Headfonics Best Open Headphone," "Audio Magazine Golden Ears," "hifi+ Cost No Object Headphone," "TAS Editors Choice Award" and "European Design Product Award."

Their current range is considered to be their best yet and with these products and many new additions coming soon, HiFi Man are widely regarded as one of leading designers and manufacturers of hi-fi headphones and portable audio products.

Traditional hi-fi speakers (either bookshelf speakers or floorstanding speakers) are passive and require a separate hi-fi amplifier. The most popular type of amplifier is an integrated amplifier (a single box designed to be the heart of your hi-fi system, connecting to all of your music "source" components like hi-fi streamer, CD player etc and to your speakers).

Generally however, the most desireable and best sounding type of amplification though is to have a separate power amplifier (which connect to your speakers) and pre amplifier (which connects to your music "sources" and the power amplifier). By having these two boxes rather than one combined box (hence the word "integrated"), each box is designed specifically to perform that part of the amplification and by splitting these duties up, each section benefits from this dedicated design, separate power supplies, and sometimes better components, resulting in better sound quality through your speakers.

Whatever your choice and budget for amplifier and speakers, we have a range of equipment to suit. We also sell a range of valve amplifiers, which offer a warm, rich sound and a heritage of hi-fi listening that is as endearing to look at as it is to listen to. This valve amplifier range also includes in itself both "integrated" and "pre" / "power" valve amp models.

As mentioned, our range of music "sources" is also comprehensive. Hi-fi streaming has gradually taken over CD players (although we still offer CD players and dedicated CD transports which can be connected directly to a DAC). Streaming music didn't used to be taken very seriously in the hi-fi community back in the days of mp3s and highly compressed audio viles, but with the advent of better content available online, using a hi-fi streamer is now a serious option as a music source and can even sound better than a CD player if you play and collect high res audio files. 

The popularity of turntables for playing vinyl has also massively increased in past years (beyond that of CD players) but please note that your hi-fi amplifier must have a "Turntable" (or sometimes labelled as a "Phono") input to be able to play vinyl on your turntable, as the output level from most turntables is lower than that of other music "sources". If your amplifier doesn't have this input (or even if it does), we recommend using a high quality turntable pre-amp, referred to in hi-fi circles as a phono stage. We also sell a full range of replacement phono cartridges and other turntable essentials to get the best sound from your vinyl.

If you would like further advice, please call or e-mail us or visit our Birmingham showroom and one of our hi-fi experts can assist you. Don't forget to browse our full range of speakers and our Audio Affair exclusive offers as well.
