What does "Sounds too Hifi" mean???


Lately I've been reading this phrase on various forums, and have no idea what they are talking about. What is the "hifi" sound? What does it mean when something "sounds too hifi"? Does that mean it doesn't dissappear, that you are aware that the music is being made by "equipment"? Is this term in the audio glossary?!!!

accentuated highs & boomy bass is sometimes associated with that vernacular "too hi fi" when compared to a more desirable flat response
