FINAL AUDIO F7200 REVIEW
October 22, 2016 Comments Off on FINAL AUDIO F7200 REVIEW
“The F7200 tends to oil coats tom tom drums and certain low-toned vocals a bit much. Rebound bite softens. But considering that the F7200 is pretty flat-field, this becomes its only real Achilles Heel for the trance head. Highs and high mids simply don’t jump out enough to simulate wide trance halls. Partially as a result, its soundstage is wide but not that deep. High range instrument separation is good, but because z-axis depth and bass resolution aren’t super fussy, high range stereo details soften here and there”

INEAR’S PROPHILE-8

“The impressions above are all based on both switches turned off. Switching on either will not change much, so please do not expect a 4in1 earphone design (neutral, bassy, bright, balanced). You can add a little oomph to the bass (+3dB to be exact), but it is not the same effect as adding a subwoofer. It is nicely added across the low frequencies and it should compensate lack of bass on some recordings. On well-mastered albums I found the bass boost to add too much thickness, though not reaching bass-heavy amount. I thought the default tuning is just right”

FIDUE A91 SIRIUS REVIEW
October 8, 2016 Comments Off on FIDUE A91 SIRIUS REVIEW
” The AK380, with its sassier AKM AK4990 dual DAC setup, brings that low end back making the A91 sound altogether smoother and more musical to my ear. Importantly the dynamic driver is delivering right to the very low end as it should be, vocals are richer sounding and treble is less brittle.”

UNIQUE MELODY MARTIAN REVIEW
October 6, 2016 Comments Off on UNIQUE MELODY MARTIAN REVIEW
The Martian’s bass signature is not what you expect it to be for a dual dynamic. Sure it hits hard, excellent bass in both depth and body but it is very controlled and articulate and it honestly is not the first thing that hits you when you start listening to them. It is an incredibly likable bass response with an elevated sub-bass tuning rather than a curt mid-bass slam so you never feel it dominating or bleeding into the midrange.”

ADVANCED ACOUSTICWERKES NEBULA REVIEW

” The sound does quickly become one of the biggest differentiators between the two IEMs. The One has a warmer and richer sound while still maintaining good balanced throughout. I do notice it to also have quite a relaxed treble. On the other hand the 2 is much lighter and airier, probably from the noticeably better treble extension and a bit more energy near 10kHz. It is certainly the more agile and detailed model.”

Ultimate Ears Reference Remastered IEMs Review

“As mentioned, the soundstage of the UERR is more mid-centric compared to the UERM’s laidback mid-section. As a result, the UERM offers a more wide-reaching projection of sonic cues to create a larger stereo image than the more intimate UERRs. Despite this, the UERR has excellent centre stage and is relatively more cohesive than the UERM. Instrument separation is excellent in spite of the smaller stage that the UERR has to work with.”

Onkyo W800BT Review

“The W800BTs might be the same price as the Motorola Verve Ones+, but this is where the similarities end. The Onkyos favour a clear and open sound, allowing music to breathe and more detail to filter through. It’s a clean soundstage that sounds uncluttered.”

AKG N40 Review
September 28, 2016 Comments Off on AKG N40 Review
“Once run-in, the AKG N40 in-ears with the Reference Sound filters installed sound rather fantastic – when driven by a suitable source.
Listening to the earphones plugged directly into an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S7 (or even a MacBook) – gives you a rather flat and unengaging sound with a treble that is rather hard and incessant.”
