Heco Direkt Speakers Review
February 6, 2016 Comments Off on Heco Direkt Speakers Review
” Michel and fellow foam funkers will sleep easy knowing that the big driver surrounds are butyl rubber. Haters of reflective gloss finishes like yours give two thumbs up for Heco’s matte finish which is far easier on finger prints, dust and high maintenance. Despisers of sharp edges applaud not only the profile’s round corners but the slightly curved transitions between vertical edges and cheeks; and fine roundovers elsewhere. Given that the Direkt is a box with three sets of parallel walls, not a trendy wind slippery boat-hull affair, our Germans from Pulheim have craftily shaved off bits of material here and there to soften their rectangulosity. In the finely painted MDF flesh, actual cosmetics were even more attractive than the photos had promised.”

Echobox Finder X1 Review
February 6, 2016 Comments Off on Echobox Finder X1 Review
“As Echobox first IEM, the Finder X1 speaks quality – both sonically as well as aesthetically. If you already got the early bird US$79 deal, I’ll congratulate you for getting a lot of IEM for quite a small price. Even If you are on the January deal of US$149, it is still a good bargain overall. The final retail price of $199 however will definitely put Finder X1 in stiffer competition since that is the same space where some of the best value / performance IEM occupy. So if you are already planning on getting a pair, do it before it is too late – of course, I do want to put the emphasis that the Finder X1 is not for everyone – just make sure you do like a mild U-shaped sound with a bit of brightness. I can imagine music like EDM and string instrument will go particularly well with the Finder X1’s clean and slightly sterile presentation.”

Vapor Audio Joule White 3 Speaker $16,895 Review

“Vocals were recessed more than with the Red Dragon amps, however they were not obscured in any way. The effect on the ears of the Red Dragon amps in the system might be compared to the water fountain show at Bellagio in Las Vegas, while the First Watt amplification scheme was like sitting in front of the Trevi Fountain in Rome. With these gentle amps the music could not overwhelm the senses but passed gently across the expanse of the room to the ears.”

CHORD & MAJOR EARPHONES REVIEW
February 5, 2016 Comments Off on CHORD & MAJOR EARPHONES REVIEW
” A clever little ergonomic touch is the strain-relief connector on the rear of the earphone, which extends beyond the earphone itself. This not only keeps the cable in place, and is a useful place for a fairly obvious Left and Right indicator, but it is also a natural place for your thumb when inserting or removing the earphone. Additionally, it helps positioning the cable for the earphone if you want to use them in over-ear ‘sport’ mode. The cable itself is a 1.2m long ‘no-tangle’ rubber finish, although in the long-held tradition of all things ‘no tangle’, I immediately created some kind of Gordian Knot out of the cables. The little plastic card and the pouch do help.”

Sennheiser Momentum Wireless Headphones Review
February 5, 2016 Comments Off on Sennheiser Momentum Wireless Headphones Review
” They look sophisticated and are foldable for travel. A lovely female voice prompts you when pairing is complete, battery is low, etc. Playback, on/off and volume are on the right earpiece. You’ll be fiddling with the buttons error-free within seconds. ”

OPTOMA NUFORCE PRIMO 8 EARBUDS REVIEW
February 5, 2016 Comments Off on OPTOMA NUFORCE PRIMO 8 EARBUDS REVIEW
“Turning to the “instruments” themselves, the Primo 8’s exterior design is something visually different, resembling a pair of tiny blue pineapples or modestly sized sea shells. Each drive housing is attached to its cord via an integrated over-ear loop wire. The loop wires attach and detach from the drive housings by way of little black connectors allowing easy wire replacement and ear tip changes. The wire itself uses a combination of both fine quality silver and copper conductors wound around a Kevlar/silk core. It is also equipped with a smartphone compatible in-line microphone/control pod for portable use. A separate cable without mic and controls is available for additional cost.”
