” When we tested the N90Q back in the January issue we were impressed by its tremendous ability to balance high-quality sound with effective noise-cancelling technology and its five-star rating for sound quality is no exaggeration.”

HiFiMAN HE1000 REVIEW

” Midrange is likewise stellar, smooth, even and musically rich. It sounds very coherent throughout and gives great presence to most instruments from lower to upper, including guitars, pianos and violins. Sometimes I only wish vocals had a bit more heft to them. It is not that they sound recessed, rather they sound ever-so-slightly small at times. This again depends on the mastering to a substantial degree although it is something I noticed recurring. Midrange registers do sound enveloping, cohesive and natural, and like the bass was well incorporated into the encompassing mix.”

” They look sophisticated and are foldable for travel. A lovely female voice prompts you when pairing is complete, battery is low, etc. Playback, on/off and volume are on the right earpiece. You’ll be fiddling with the buttons error-free within seconds. ”

ULTRASONE EDITION 5 UNLIMITED REVIEW
February 4, 2016 Comments Off on ULTRASONE EDITION 5 UNLIMITED REVIEW
” The Edition 5 Unlimited is a very good sounding headphone, so don’t let anyone tell you different. The original Edition 5 sounded marvelous as well, but both models are severely overpriced to astronomical degrees. Yes, there is a difference between the $5000 Edition 5 and the $2750 Edition 5 Unlimited, but it is very small to my ears. What exactly is causing that difference, I’ve not a clue for certain, but I can speculate. I’ve heard the Edition 5 numerous times and on the same gear that I own, so I can safely say the Unlimited version is 95% the same and the likely causes of the differences between them are caused by the lack of a wooden plate on the Unlimited version. With that in mind, the Edition 5 Unlimited is easily one of the most overpriced headphones to be released recently and fits in with the similarly overpriced units such as the AK series, the Abyss and Sennheiser’s new Orpheus $50,000 monstrosity.”

“Well, I’m dually impressed; you might even say that I’ve become addicted. What set me up for this addiction is my predilection for a massaged studio sound. I like it long and flat, and detailed. But, if possible, I like a rounder, fuller bass, and a high range that doesn’t squeak too much.”
