PSB M4U 8 WIRELESS NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES
October 2, 2018 Comments Off on PSB M4U 8 WIRELESS NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES
“PSB’s M4U 8 is a brilliant mid-priced headphone that fulfills many different roles and meets a wide range of requirements in a hugely successful way. For people looking to begin their exploration of high performance headphones without breaking the bank, the M4U 8 is not only a great place to start, but also a fine sonic destination in its own right. That’s a claim few ‘noise cancellers’ can make.”
BEYERDYNAMIC AMIRON WIRELESS REVIEW
October 1, 2018 Comments Off on BEYERDYNAMIC AMIRON WIRELESS REVIEW
” That is no small feat as I’ve always considered the T1’s midrange one of the very best in personal audio. And you definitely get a familial resemblance with the Amiron Wireless headphones. Keith’s guitar work came to life with these headphones and the smallest details and nuances were all laid bare. Charlie’s drum beats came to life and the bass drum thumps were both quite satisfying, but also well textured and in perfect proportion to Mick’s vocals. Again, the incredibly wide sound staging shone through and these closed-back headphones are testament that you don’t need open-backed headphones to achieve this.”
NAD’s Bluetooth Viso HP70 Review
September 26, 2018 Comments Off on NAD’s Bluetooth Viso HP70 Review
“‘So I came away with mixed feelings about the NAD Viso HP70, mostly because the sound was just too rich for my taste — I prefer the HP50’s leaner and clearer presentation, and it’s significantly less expensive. As for the HP70’s Bluetooth and noise-canceling, they worked well, no problems there. Too bad I didn’t have a Bose QuietComfort QC35 II noise-canceling Bluetooth headphone on hand for comparison; it’s the one to beat for noise abatement. ”
Final Sonorous X Closed Back Headphones Review
September 25, 2018 Comments Off on Final Sonorous X Closed Back Headphones Review
“Though the headamps and the DAPS used here were not perfect or totally neutral, their shortcomings were detectable with the X. I listened through them as well as to them to truly hear these outstanding headphones. A collection of SD chips forming the Maria Callas Opera Recordings in 96kHz/24-bit, produced in cost-is-no-object fashion by Astell&Kern, are a learning experience. Nothing is fake, compressed, expanded, or screwed with. On the Astell & Kern A&ultima SP1000, or fed into my E.A.R. DAC 4 to the E.A.R. HP4 headphone amp, the final Sonorous X was unabashedly a window on the performance, i.e., utter perfection. Callas was the authentic Callas, singing from the first act of Carmen, as real and breathtaking as ever heard. The symphony played just behind her, filling the soundstage. The chorus was behind and above the orchestra.”
FOCAL CLEAR HEADPHONES REVIEW
September 18, 2018 Comments Off on FOCAL CLEAR HEADPHONES REVIEW
“I listened to a great variety of music selections on the Focal Clears, and my selections were guided by wanting to hear very high quality recordings that would test the dynamic range, frequency response, and overall quality of the Focals. In general, I listened to high resolution recordings, or CDs that were of known good quality.”
BOWERS & WILKINS PX WIRELESS NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONE REVIEW
September 16, 2018 Comments Off on BOWERS & WILKINS PX WIRELESS NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONE REVIEW
“Of the three wireless noise cancelling headphones that I introduced in my “First Look” video, the Bowers & Wilkins PX stand out the most to me. Not because of some overwhelming superiority over the other two (they are all very capable, high performance headphones), but it’s because of what they do differently that makes them so memorable. From the quality design and build that make them feel immediately special to hold, to the high comfort and spacious, balanced sound character that make them addictive to listen to, the Bowers & Wilkins PX demand attention and earn respect. If you want gobs of bass from your headphones, don’t bother with these”

ABYSS AB-1266 PHI CC HEADPHONE $5,000 REVIEW
September 9, 2018 Comments Off on ABYSS AB-1266 PHI CC HEADPHONE $5,000 REVIEW
“Overall, as fantastic as the bass is with the original configuration, I found that the presentation now had among the tightest and most detailed bass there is in personal audio. To hear this level of depth, detail and texturing, I used to think you’d have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a full two-channel stereo setup. Simply put, when you incorporate their expansive sound-staging, these headphones offer the closest speaker-like presentation I’ve heard in personal audio and the new ear-pads help the Abyss AB-1266 Phi / Phi CC headphones achieve a level that I didn’t think was possible.”
BEYERDYNAMIC AMIRON WIRELESS REVIEW
September 8, 2018 Comments Off on BEYERDYNAMIC AMIRON WIRELESS REVIEW
“Overall, I loved my time with these headphones. Being able to “cut the cord” and walk around without being tethered to a dedicated headphone amplifier was very liberating. As well, for those who are wary of getting into a top flight pair of headphones and don’t want to spend a small fortune on an upsteam amplifier and/or DAC, they no longer have to concern themselves with these potential added costs. These are the two biggest advantages with wireless headphones in my experience and the folks at beyerdynamic have done a fantastic job in this regard. Tonality, these are incredibly open and neutral sounding headphones. Some might prefer a bit more heft or energy in terms of the bass, but I was quite satisfied with what I heard. The layering and detail of the bass quality were both excellent to my ears. The simple control functions on the earcup were both intuitive and functioned quite easily. Coming in at $699 ”
