    JBL Endurance Run 2 Wired IEM Review

    Just got mine. First impressions running through test tracks using iPhone (Spotify) > Lightning cable DAC-AMP > JBL ER2 without eq is of good sound and comfort right out of the box with medium tips. And the packaging is also well done. $10 delivered, wow. And it looks like you can get a...

    TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero IEM Review

    Yep they can be bright on some tracks. You can EQ it but I don’t mind it. The Zero 2 tames the brightness but I found I missed it.

    Sennheiser HD 620S Headphone Review

    Why isn’t the magnitude of that 4kHz dip a concern?

    7Hz Salnotes Zero IEM Review

    The Zero 2 have the right bass and the zing is gone from the highs - but I found I missed some of it. The 2 sounds better EQ’d to get some of those highs back. The 1 is just about perfect for me on most recordings but yes, a few recordings get shrill. I use Iphone so no EQ on the 1, use...

    7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 IEM Review

    Amir says the Zero 2 is better when both are EQ’d. Without EQ he preferred the Zero. I bought both and found the same.

    7Hz Salnotes Zero IEM Review

    Got these and the 2. 2 is more comfortable, both from softer cable on back of ear and outer ear pressure from case. Best part of both is clarity and separation of every sound and the bass quality. Trying to decide which I prefer, whether I miss the brighter sound of these vs the comfort of...

    Some inconvenient stories about Spotify

    There is no solution but for everyone - not a tiny minority of people - to own the means of production. This will not happen in our lifetime. Eventually contradictions in capitalism will become unsustainable. The contradiction in this case is that one cannot flourish on on one’s own labor...

    Apple AirPods Max Review (Noise Cancelling Headphone)

    I’ve played with Amir’s eq in Windows and with Apple’s accessibility options with mine. (I was fine with the stock sound.). Interestingly, for me, the settings do indeed improve overall sound and “space”, but at the cost of fatigue. I wonder if they found the higher freq dips to give a more...

    Apple AirPods Max Review (Noise Cancelling Headphone)

    Subjectively, these are great sounding headphones. Very clear to me. Better than my Sony 1000mk3. I prefer corded planars, but these are right up there with them, and the best BT that I’ve heard. Heavy I guess, but I can wear them longer than I can the Sundara. The headband is the best I’ve...

    Hifiman Sundara Review (headphone)

    Any idea how I can for sure get the new version when ordering?

    Hifiman Sundara Review (headphone)

    sounds like more bass and “warmer” treble. I wonder how to make sure you get v2 when purchasing

    Low-frequency Hum in my house.

    My home has this and it’s from a rooftop exhaust fan on a restaurant a block away. Drives me nuts.

    Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

    Even the new, unopened box ones are a bit of a risk, lol. As long as you can exchange for free, the sound is worth the hassle.

    Fiio Q5s Portable DAC & THX Headphone Amp Review

    No worries. I’m not sure measurements bear out that statement that the NX4 is “cleaner over all”. In fact 89 vs 69 THD+N indicates otherwise. But I agree the NX4 has more power. EDIT : JohnYang’s NX4 at its best numbers below are impressive and deserve a second look. Either product will...

    Fiio Q5s Portable DAC & THX Headphone Amp Review

    Someone asked for recommendations to drive inefficient headphones and I gave mine as an alternative to the NX4. It’s a good product and should be considered if looking for a portable dac/amp. If you work for Topping, I didn’t mean to offend you. I have and enjoy a Topping D30 myself!

    Fiio Q5s Portable DAC & THX Headphone Amp Review

    89 vs 69 THD+N Is nothing to sneeze at even if you don’t hear it. That’s why we’re here, right? Measures better, costs less in the US, is Apple certified, has enough power for the 400i. Like I said, I made my choice and am happy with it.
