The hi-fi industry isn’t collapsing — but it is quietly moving in a direction many audiophiles aren’t paying attention to. In this video, I talk about how listening habits, technology, and culture are reshaping hi-fi — and why the old arguments no longer explain what’s really happening.
It’s about who hi-fi is being built for, how people actually listen today, and why many long-time audiophiles don’t see it happening. This isn’t about bashing high-end audio, measurements, or preferences. It’s about understanding how culture, technology, and real-world listening habits are reshaping the hi-fi world — whether we like it or not.
If you’ve ever wondered: Why hi-fi feels different than it used to Why prices keep rising while enjoyment doesn’t always follow Why new listeners approach audio differently Or why audiophile debates feel stuck in the past This video is for you.
Hi-fi isn’t dying — it’s changing. And once you see the shift, a lot of modern audio suddenly makes sense.
