Empire Ears Zeus Custom In Ear Monitor Review
June 10, 2016 Comments Off on Empire Ears Zeus Custom In Ear Monitor Review
” The craftsmanship is simply awesome. There is no sign of error with the craftsmanship. A beautiful abalone faceplate is nicely cut and perfectly put on the body in sapphire blue. However, the fit is a bit different than my other Empire and Earwerkz monitors to due Zeus’ larger shell. I think there is a problem with upper concha part of the monitor and this can be a little disturbing at the beginning of listening. I should say that Empire Ears usually do a great job regarding fit; this little change is specific to my Zeus, since they used my old earmolds that are already in their file.’
64 Audio A12 $1999 – Review
June 9, 2016 Comments Off on 64 Audio A12 $1999 – Review
” The A12 passive technology without the balloon never equaled the active technology I heard in Denver. The A12 still played at a lower levels than the other IEM’s at my disposal, but never did I experience the same jaw dropping experience I did as in the first time I heard them in Denver. I still admire the work that Steve Ambrose is doing and it is important. The passive technology did relieve pressure to my ears in listening sessions. I was able to feel no pressure and listen at lower levels and the A12 never failed to deliver the musicality and tonality that I crave in listening sessions.”

” 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.”
Echobox Finder X1 Titanium Earphones Review

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
June 3, 2016 Comments Off on 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.”
