1MORE Dual Driver In-ear Headphones – Review
June 8, 2016 Comments Off on 1MORE Dual Driver In-ear Headphones – Review
” To give the bass a real workout, I listened to “Can-Utility and the Coastliners” by Genesis, which is also one of my vocal reference tracks. The subsonic bass was so well articulated that I was driven to test how low it was going, playing with the EQ and Dario Baldan Bempo’s “Non Mi Lasciare”. Not only was the aria chill inducing, I was definitely hearing material below 60 Hz.”

The smoothness of the entire enclosure is enabled by a subtle feature: the cable strain relief is actually inside the enclosure. The cable emerges from a small grommeted porthole, colored to indicate left and right channels. I haven’t tried intentionally pulling on the cable to test the strength of the configuration, but I’ve felt no looseness in any of my day-to-day use. This configuration also allows the freedom to wear the Finder X1 cable-down or cable-up and over-ear. The cable is made from silver-plated copper and sheathed in a smoky translucent casing that pairs well with the color of the titanium. It’s smooth and pliable with a slight tendency to hold its shape. However, it also seems remarkably resistant to tangling, which is a huge plus for me. The cable can have some slight microphonics at times, but I don’t find it particularly egregious or even intrusive. What little there is can generally be alleviated with a good seal and/or wearing the IEM’s over-ear. The cable is terminated in a straight, gold-plated 1/8” TRS plug. The plug is housed in metal as well, adding to the overall quality of the unit.”

UNIQUE MELODY MAESTRO REVIEW

” Of all the flagship custom and universal in ear monitors I have tried this is potentially the most easy to get into. I am not going to say it’s the best, likely because there is not one, but for versatility this goes to the top along with my Heir Audio 10.A! Other than subtlety boosted, but still fast bass, nothing sticks out from this earphone, it is not forward or in your face, but not hugely distant and then it has the speed and technical capability for absolutely any music genre!”

Klipsch Reference X6i in-ear headphones review
June 1, 2016 Comments Off on Klipsch Reference X6i in-ear headphones review
” While the Klipsch X6i are meant to be played directly from your mobile device, I tried plugging them through a dedicated digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and amp to see if they would sound even better. Having a powerful amp did help bring some sparkle to the highs and slightly more impact to the bass, but most people will be perfectly happy listening directly from their phones.”

“A startup company in Seattle that secured a $5 million investment round back in April just announced its secret weapon: a pair of strange-looking wireless ear-pod headphones that can shift from a private listening device into a portable loudspeaker, and more.”

” The sound was punchy and highlighted the macro rather than micro. To get high end subtlety, light and shade, you have to go custom and a lot more money. ”

Optoma NuForce BE6i Wireless Earphone Review
May 27, 2016 Comments Off on Optoma NuForce BE6i Wireless Earphone Review
” No matter how good an earphone is, if you connect to it with a very lossy bitstream, the sound quality is surely going to suffer. On a great pair of headphones, you will hear that degradation. The NuForce BE6i uses aptX, currently the best way to transmit via Bluetooth, and that’s already going to improve the sound. Make sure your playback device supports aptX, and consider the BE6i for good bass and a solid build.”

SNUGS RANGE CUSTOM TIPS REVIEW
May 23, 2016 Comments Off on SNUGS RANGE CUSTOM TIPS REVIEW
” If you are sitting on a sub $100 earphone, then the proposition is less appealing and certainly a SoundMagic E10S that is being used as part of the Wired range is even less so. I would much rather see some sort of partnership with the likes of RHA or RockJaw for a wired version personally. The Snug wired RHA MA750i has all sorts of win written over it. The Snugs Pro for the Shure SE846 does seem better value if at a slightly higher price of £229. Given the Shure SE846 retails for £697.00, a custom fit for 1/3 of the price is not wholly unreasonable to stage musicians and pros and the odd mad audiophile or two.”

” Right away the FXA5 proved itself a contender. It’s a lively sounding headphone, dynamics are strong, bass is really deep and tuneful, and the treble is clear. All of that was evident with lossless files streamed from Tidal on my iPhone 6S. I listened at home and played downloaded tracks on the noisy New York subway, and the FXA5 consistently impressed. Then I pitted the superb Klipsch Reference 6i against the FXA5 and found clear transparency gains with the FXA5. The Reference 6i is no slouch, but the FXA5’s bass, mids and treble are clearer. It’s a much better headphone.”
