Alpha & Delta D6 $99 Review
April 4, 2018 Comments Off on Alpha & Delta D6 $99 Review
“Highs: The highs are very smooth on these, they are well presented with good energy and extension but they never become harsh. The highs are articulate injecting air and shimmer up top but without overdoing it. The only thing that is possibly a bit out up top is the timbre, the overall sound of the D6 is not one that is organic and natural, it leans towards a brighter more analytical sound and there is maybe a hint of metallic tone to it. They are a little colder sounding but without sounding harsh and fatiguing, they are quick and airy.”
Shure KSE1500 electrostatic in-ear headphone $3,000 Review
March 28, 2018 Comments Off on Shure KSE1500 electrostatic in-ear headphone $3,000 Review
“The Shure amp-digital converter build quality feels robust. The headphone’s Kevlar-reinforced cable is thicker, stiffer and heavier than most in-ear headphone cables, and it’s definitely not user-replaceable. Maximum playtime for the KSE1500’s Lithium-Ion battery is 10 hours. The converter’s maximum resolution is limited to 96-kHz (24-bit) PCM files — nowhere as high-resolution as what’s available from Astell & Kern or FiiO music players. Shure includes a handsome leather case for the amp-converter.”
LEAR LUF-Turbo Dual Dynamic Driver IEM Review
March 23, 2018 Comments Off on LEAR LUF-Turbo Dual Dynamic Driver IEM Review
“Conclusion: Well I wasn’t sure what I was getting with the LUF-Turbo, I was expecting bass cannons but instead I was actually pleasantly surprised. These are not flawless, but nothing really is, what these do produce though is a very fun and engaging sound without major dips or peaks. Yes the bass is full and articulate, the mids sit a little behind but do sound quite good, and the highs are definitely there with good energy and sparkle. To get this sound from 2 dynamic drivers is no easy feat, add in excellent build and comfort and these are quite the budget IEM. These are one of those IEM’s you can put in and forget about when out and about; they are not made for critical listening, but for enjoyment.”
Shure’s $3,000 KSE1500 headphones Review
March 21, 2018 Comments Off on Shure’s $3,000 KSE1500 headphones Review
“Listening to Igor Stravinsky conducting his own composition “The Soldier’s Tale Suite,” the purity of the sound was utterly breathtaking. Pink Floyd’s early work, “A Saucer Full of Secrets” was a mind expanding experience. Again, it’s the sense of being there, feeling like I’m breathing the same air as the musicians. You just don’t get that with other in-ear headphones.”
FIIO F9 PRO REVIEW
March 13, 2018 Comments Off on FIIO F9 PRO REVIEW
“You still get a similar emphasis compared to the F9 from 50-100Hz and a very slight sub-bass roll-off but it is not pushing down on the mids with that lower mid dip. Nor is it overly warming up instrumental timbre. As such, the F9 Pro presentation is a bit more balanced sounding than the F9, a touch more forgiving, and still delivering excellent resolution for this price point.”
Rhapsodio Saturn Review
March 10, 2018 Comments Off on Rhapsodio Saturn Review
“Whilst far from being my cup of tea, I can see why the Saturn could be popular with some. The build quality is excellent; they look fantastic and offer a really fun sound. The bass is full and somewhat over-the-top during certain tracks, but this is without completely ruining the midrange. Only a small band in the lower midrange is really affected, the rest is well detailed and not overly recessed. The highs are energetic but never harsh; these are just a fun and enjoyable listen.”
INEARZ NIRVANA REVIEW
March 9, 2018 Comments Off on INEARZ NIRVANA REVIEW
“The separation and stereo imaging is very strong but the parts of the spectrum are not extremely separated from each other. And that, I think, is the very thing that generates an integrated, cohesive sound. Sound stage on the other hand is also very good in terms of depth. It’s not very wide but since the mids are not much in your face, it doesn’t give you a congested staging. Actually the staging also feels like the Spiral SE-5 Ref.

EarSonics S-EM9 In-Ear Monitors $1799 Review
March 5, 2018 Comments Off on EarSonics S-EM9 In-Ear Monitors $1799 Review
“When compared with the similarly-priced Jerry Harvey Roxanne CIEM ($1795) the S-EM9 delivered more extended, detailed bass and sub-bass. After adjusting the Roxanne’s bass controls for a richer mix, the Roxanne did generate more midbass than the S-EM9 but not more low bass. The Roxannes were slightly more comfortable (they are a custom fit, after all), but both IEMs were comfy enough for multi-hour listening sessions. While both in-ears imaged quite well, the S-EM9 had slightly more specific image placement with greater sense of three-dimensionality.”
