Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Headphones – Review
March 7, 2016 Comments Off on Definitive Technology Symphony 1 Headphones – Review
” Jazz tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine’s Blue Hour (256kbps MP3, Music Matters) showed me right off that the Symphony 1s sounded better than the Bose QC25s. I heard much more detail and sense of space, a flatter and more neutral overall frequency response, and bass that was tighter than the QC25s’, without the mild exaggeration of low-end level I hear from the Boses. I also used Blue Hour to compare the Symphony 1s with PSB’s M4U 2s, which I briefly borrowed from fellow reviewer Lauren Dragan. With this album, the M4U 2s had all the positive attributes of the Symphony 1s, plus a little extra: the sound of Turrentine’s tenor was even more open and detailed, yet also more focused, with a bit more midrange energy that slightly smoothed the sound. Still, the Symphony 1s were not at all embarrassed by the comparison; I expect that some enthusiasts might, in this instance, have preferred its sound”
FOSTEX & MASSDROP TH-X00 Review
March 2, 2016 Comments Off on FOSTEX & MASSDROP TH-X00 Review
” Truth be told, the X00 is just a retuned and newly adjusted woodified TH600 to my ears. I cannot stress how upset I am at Fostex for not doing a great job with proper tuning on the TH600 and TH900 when they were first released. Instead, Fostex blurted out a great looking headphone in both models, but both had an absurdly recessive midrange that broke the entire experience of the headphone. I rarely used my TH600 after the review because of this and it just sat on my shelf and stand looking gorgeous with that woody from Lawton that I installed. I just can’t handle V shaped sound signature as well as others.”
AUDEZE EL-8 HEADPHONES – REVIEW
February 26, 2016 Comments Off on AUDEZE EL-8 HEADPHONES – REVIEW
“Moving up the sonic spectrum, the EL-8 has a slightly warmer, and more harmonically complex midrange character than the EL-8C. In comparison, the EL-8C has more upper-midrange energy that moves female vocalists forward in a mix, but robs male vocalists of some of their lower-midrange harmonic richness. Holding the palms of my hands about ¼” away from the open backs of the EL-8, I can almost duplicate these differences, so I suspect they are in part the result of the closed back creating some midrange frequency cancellations.”
MYST ORTOPHONES REVIEW
February 25, 2016 Comments Off on MYST ORTOPHONES REVIEW
“No MyST headphone will win a beauty competition. Their machine work is all tough and rumble; it will go through your car’s windscreen if thrown with enough muscle. If a thief sneaks into your flat at night, gird up your loins and whip out your MyST phones and stab their eyes in with the adjustment posts. You’re a boss.”
PRYMA 01 HEADPHONES REVIEW
February 23, 2016 Comments Off on PRYMA 01 HEADPHONES REVIEW
” Like most audio widows, the subject of Alan’s work tends to pass by me in a haze. The rare exceptions have often been some of the more elegant loudspeakers from Sonus faber. So perhaps it wasn’t a surprise that the first set of headphones where I played the Wife card are from the Sonus faber design team. The Pryma headphones are not what I was waiting for, but I wasn’t waiting for the Apple iPad when it arrived, and I’ve been welded to one of those from the moment it appeared in the house.”

MYCROFT IZOPHONES-30 AND 30S KAIZEN REVIEW
February 21, 2016 Comments Off on MYCROFT IZOPHONES-30 AND 30S KAIZEN REVIEW
‘
” Not that splash and ring are unique to IzoPhones. The more expensive Grado PS1000 are dirtier, and suffer a strange stereo suckout in the upper midrange around percussions. IzoPhones, 30 and 30S, never, ever lose stereo pressure. The non-S version outputs a wonderfully round, 3D midrange with good air similar to the IzoPhones-60. The transition zone from bass to mids is phenomenally wide and detailed. 30S plays a different game. But 30 and 60, while not quite oceanic, offer one of the most cohesive, realistic 3D sound stages this side of a concert hall.”
