CYPHER LABS C6IEM V2 REVIEW
April 13, 2016 Comments Off on CYPHER LABS C6IEM V2 REVIEW
” Mids and bass gel as good as a coherent single driver earphone. Not that I’ve heard a single BA driver earphone sing such a warm, dry tune. Midrange instruments congregate mainly between the shoulders and spread out about as far as the edge of the scapula. Vocals are rich but don’t jump out at you, making them particularly attached to early The Chemical Brothers albums, and even some uplifting trance.”

Hum Pristine Reference Custom In-Ear Monitors Review

” Overall, the HUM Reference CIEMs are extremely dynamic and have the best transparency of any CIEMs here. They may not produce the uppermost and lowermost frequency extremes, yet odds are you might not miss them all that much. A bit of EQ’ing can help to some extent of course. HUM’s Pristine Reference CIEMs may be perfect for sound engineers who are seeking to hear as much as possible within their mix. Personally, I’m now using these CIEMs when mastering, augmented with my fave Noble K-10 CIEMs when I want to enjoy a more musical presentation. Considering the relatively reasonable pricing of $1299 for a pair of very high quality CIEMs, they fall within a comfortable cost zone. If you love accuracy and excellent dynamics plus super-wide soundscape, you owe it to yourself to investigate getting a set of HUM Pristine Reference custom in-ear monitors.”

” The bass is deep reaching, strong, and pronounced on these headphones – which is delightfully typical of Beyerdynamic’s Tesla driver range. Whilst giving plenty of thump, the mid-bass didn’t intrude strongly into the lower mids, making for a very clean bass kick. Bass notes as low as 30HZ were easily reproduced. The bass was mostly linear, with a mild hump from 70hz to 160hz, giving that extra bit of energy and impact to kick drums and basslines.”

” Smaller body. That’s it. The sound works well for people that like neutral dark. The cables are decent. The box and all that – not bad. And maybe it’s the wannabe techie in me squinting, but the C6IEM is a big three driver earphone. I’d like to know if the same sound could be achieved using a compact design.”

SHURE KSE1500 ELECTROSTATIC SOUND ISOLATING EARPHONES $3,000 REVIEW
March 29, 2016 Comments Off on SHURE KSE1500 ELECTROSTATIC SOUND ISOLATING EARPHONES $3,000 REVIEW
” Shure isn’t the first to the punch here, but squeezing electrostatic technology into a fully self-contained package of this shape and size is tantamount to cramming a rocket thruster under the hood of a ‘97 Honda Accord. And while the KSE1500 are priced for only the most ardent audiophiles, any headphone lover can appreciate their sonic achievements. The 1500 unearth a sound marked by unparalleled clarity and transient response above, while coaxing rich and ruddy layers of velvety warmth down below, placing these ‘phones among the most elite performers we’ve ever heard.”

JH Audio Custom Layla In-Ear Monitors Review

“Something else that is different is the bass adjustment found on the cable near the 1/8” stereo plug. A small screwdriver is included so you can make you own adjustments to the Quad bass drivers on each side. When tuned to 0 the Layla’s are a world class mastering monitor with a flat response. Want to turn it up? Turn to the right up to another +15dB! Bass heads rejoice! My personal preference was the 12 O’clock setting up around 6-8dB. Regardless of your bass preference the Layla’s can put you there. Something that IEM’s previously were unable to customize on the fly without equalization. For the professional they can be the king of the studio while on the job and the club king out the door. One stop shopping.”
