Hifiman Mini Shangri-La system מערכת מגבר + אוזניות אלקטרוסטטיות

HIFIMAN has been smart with the tuning of the Mini Shangri-La system by creating a sound signature that is first and foremost enjoyable without feeling the need to over-emphasize that it is an electrostatic headphone in the first place. Quite often, when we say it’s an EST headphone the listener feels almost cheated if the highs are not ‘higher’ than any other headphone or the speed is faster than the speed of light. What you get instead is an articulate but very smooth and natural-sounding set of headphones that are easily one of the company’s most enjoyable sound signatures for vocal lovers, or people like me. Throw in a vastly improved amplifier, both in terms of design and performance, and the overall package is one that I would describe as an astute sound system purchase for lovers of the standards, the classics, or live band music.

There we are, I said it. I don’t see the point in comparing the Mini Shangri-La with anything within its budget, especially considering that the headphones alone are $1100. For this money, these are the best NEW headphones on the planet, period. With the level of refinement, tuning, technical abilities, detail, resolution, and speed, the Mini Shangri-La is a high-end headphone without a doubt, and it doesn’t cost as much as one.
