Definition
高端 (gāo duān) describes the top tier of a market or product line — 'high-end, upmarket'. It focuses on market positioning and target clientele, unlike 高级 (gāo jí), which emphasizes quality or rank, or 高档 (gāo dàng), which describes the grade of a physical product. 高端 is often used as a noun for the high-end market segment itself.
