Ultimate Ears Pro Reference Remastered $1,100 Review
March 28, 2016 Comments Off on Ultimate Ears Pro Reference Remastered $1,100 Review
“Audiophiles seeking an unmolested sound in their music will find the UERR’s flat sound signature a godsend in the world of products that claim to be “hear what the artist intended.” The spellbinding voice of early David Bowie captured in his Live Santa Monica ’72 album had me planted in the listening chair throughout the entire album. The expanded soundstage and non-fatiguing sound make me quickly forget that I’m listening to reproduced sound. I feel transported to 1972 in the audience at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The UERR is so comfortable, it leaves me immersed in the sound. With every use, my ears become accustomed to its flat and balanced sound signature. ”
VERISONIX N501 ELECTROSTATZ ELECTED – REVIEW
March 28, 2016 Comments Off on VERISONIX N501 ELECTROSTATZ ELECTED – REVIEW
” The N501 punches fast, but certainly not heavy. Lows decay almost instantly, leaving loads of room around each note, for a good sense of low-end space. But there is nary a throb nor a yawn. Sure, it will reveal sub-bass test signals, but when juxtaposed against real life music, it hits and fades before you’ll realise it.”

NAD VISO HP30 Review
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on NAD VISO HP30 Review
” The VISO HP30’s are marked by a strong accent and deep timbre. The sound signature can best be described as fun with a warm tonality with tendencies towards the mid and lower frequencies. The general tone takes on a dark background. The HP30s strike a good balance between sounding ‘fun’ and being clean towards its audio recreation”
Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on Beyerdynamic DT 1350 headphones REVIEW
” Getting down to the business of listening to the DT 1350 didn’t feel like work, as acoustic music had an organic natural quality. Voices inside these headphones sounded like actual human voices, imagine that! Flying Lotus’ “Until the Quiet Comes” album is jam-packed with texturally and rhythmically dense instrumentals that practically massaged my ears with its low bass beats. The DT 1350 plumbs the depths of the music, no problem.”
HiFiMan HE-560 Over-the-Ear Headphones Reviewed
March 23, 2016 Comments Off on HiFiMan HE-560 Over-the-Ear Headphones Reviewed
“The HE-560 has gone through a couple of small design changes since its introduction. The most noticeable cosmetic change was the enclosure, which was originally made of wooden cups; however, they were prone to developing cracks, so the company replaced the wood with a laminate and completely redesigned the enclosures. The earpads were also changed both in composition and physical structure. The current earpads are softer with a slight wedge-shaped angle that puts the back of the headphone slightly farther away from your ears than the front. My review sample had the current earpads and cup design, but the older cable connection. The headband design has not changed. It depends on the spring tension of its metal section for side pressure. My preference would be for slightly less pressure.”
HiFiMan Edition X Headphones $1,800 Review
March 22, 2016 Comments Off on HiFiMan Edition X Headphones $1,800 Review
” To my ears, the obvious difference between the Edition Xes and the HE1000s was in the treble. So I put on “Airpower,” from Larry Coryell and Philip Catherine’s Twin House (16[-bit]/44.1[kHz] WAV, Wounded Bird), an album of acoustic-guitar duets that’s especially revealing of treble quality. The HE1000s got “Airpower” pretty much right, with extremely clear but not overemphasized sounds of picks on strings, and fingers sliding up and down fretboards. The guitars’ bass notes also sounded wonderfully resonant through the HE1000s; I got a real sense of the instruments’ soundboards vibrating. “It might be just a tad bright, but it still kicks ass,” I wrote in my notes”
