HIFIMAN first developed its closed-back planar headphones in 2012. After several attempts to develop a closed-back headphone worthy of the HIFIMAN name, the company turned its attention to open-back planar headphones that quickly became some of the most successful products on the market. In 2018, the company returned to the development of closed-back models, leading to a design breakthrough the following year. The wooden ear cup's large internal space brings sufficient volume and "breathing room” to the powerful driver.

I found them quite fun to listen to with most kinds of music and the HE-R10P have some endearing sonic qualities to them that should find favor with many high-end headphone enthusiasts.
