EARSONICS ES-5 REVIEW
February 5, 2018 Comments Off on EARSONICS ES-5 REVIEW
“This is one of the better sub-bass signatures with excellent depth and presence as well as an above average level of control. The pace of the low-end driver is spot on. It never lingers with a balanced level of decay to sound fairly natural yet never boomy or sluggish.”


Astell&Kern Michelle Limited Headphones $399 Review
February 2, 2018 Comments Off on Astell&Kern Michelle Limited Headphones $399 Review
“The Michelle Limited is more transparent, with more precise imaging, but the ample bass will either be welcomed or sound like too much of a good thing. Personal tastes vary, but I will say that when I’m listening away from home, a little extra low end helps mask some of the rumble of a train, plane, or bus. At home in a quiet room, the bass could be intrusive.

CLEAR TUNE MONITORS / CTM VS3 REVIEW
January 29, 2018 Comments Off on CLEAR TUNE MONITORS / CTM VS3 REVIEW
“But if you don’t need as much bass power down low, then the midbass control and resolution will make you a very happy listener. The VS3’s separation on this part is nice, and for me this is something critical with IEMs. As we see so often, the genre you’re listening to and the source you’re using will impact the sound in the end. It all depends on the kind of signature you like to hear.”

Customart Fibae 2 Review
January 27, 2018 Comments Off on Customart Fibae 2 Review
“And it’s in listening that the Fibae 2 really impresses; their exceptional resolution and synergistic blend of emphasis’ producing a very resolving yet versatile sound. I’m especially enamoured by their background detail retrieval and imaging, all indicative of a linear signature with a strong technical foundation. Though not the best choice for those wanting absolute transparency and clarity, the Fibae 2 is easily outstanding among the warm/smooth earphones I’ve tested..”

Jam Ultra $100 Review
January 24, 2018 Comments Off on Jam Ultra $100 Review
“But the sub-bass synth hits that punctuate the beat are delivered with serious gusto—like there’s a subwoofer in your skull. There are times when the vocals sound like they are distorting—as if you are listening to a very low bit rate file. This has the effect of making the vocals sound overly sibilant—not ideal at all, but especially not when they are also being somewhat overpowered by the bass response.”

Sennheiser Momentum Free Review
January 17, 2018 Comments Off on Sennheiser Momentum Free Review
“At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Momentum Frees are yet another fine addition to Sennheiser’s Momentum family.If you want wireless convenience combined with excellent sound quality, this is another pair you’ll seriously want to consider.”

Audeze LCDi4 In-Ear Monitors $2495 Review
January 11, 2018 Comments Off on Audeze LCDi4 In-Ear Monitors $2495 Review
“The LCDi4 delivers high-performance audiophile-grade sound you can take anywhere, and with its friendly 105dB sensitivity can be driven (to reasonable levels) by anything from a lowly smartphone on up to a top-tier headphone amp. In short, it’s hard to imagine a more satisfying and habit-forming in-ear experience.”

FOCAL SPHEAR S REVIEW
January 4, 2018 Comments Off on FOCAL SPHEAR S REVIEW
“Due to the strong bass and elevated upper mids, the lower midrange is a little lacking. The Sphear S is missing that fullness and warmth you get from the midrange, which gives the overall sound a brighter sheen. This is most obvious in the vocal presentation, where the vocals are very clear, but are missing the weight that a stronger response in the lower mids can give you. Now, don’t get me wrong, I really like how the Sphear S does voices, but, it isn’t a romantic choice. It can also be quite prone to sibilance, so know your sources.”
