Tidal Force Wave 5 Planar Magnetic $300 Review
August 13, 2017 Comments Off on Tidal Force Wave 5 Planar Magnetic $300 Review
“Just because they share similar specs and overall design doesn’t mean they sound the same. In fact, Tidal Force says that while the two headphones share similar industrial design, both the outer and inner earcups on the Wave 5 are improved over the Monoprice and that customization of the planar drivers results in better bass response and soundstaging. While I didn’t have the M560 on hand, I did have a pair of the $299 HiFiMan HE400S planar magnetic headphones, which are comparably priced with the Wave 5. So I spent some time comparing these two.

HiFiMan Susvara Headphones $6000 Review

“Once again, I went back to the HE1000 V2s, and once again, the difference was obvious. The HE1000 V2s made Jackson’s tenor sax sound breathier and thinner, and overemphasized Drummond’s brushed cymbals. This time, I also threw in Audeze’s LCD-Xes ($1799), a well-regarded open-backed, planar-magnetic design. The LCD-Xes gave me a much different sound. It was punchier, with stronger bass and treble — more dynamic, more kick-ass, but also more like a typical multimiked, multitracked jazz recording than a Chesky recording”
HIFIMAN SHANGRI-LA ELECTROSTATIC HEADPHONES AND PURE CLASS A AMPLIFIER $50,000 REVIEW

”
The headphones are physically transparent as well. There are no cones or magnets in the way to block light, so you can see through them. The open back allows the user to hear sounds in the room, so if your spouse says, “Put the headphones down, and come help me set the table for dinner,” you will hear her. I thought at first room sounds would be distracting, but I became so involved with the music from this incredible audio system, my brain tossed all external sounds aside.”

Focal Utopia Headphones $4,000 Review
July 30, 2017 Comments Off on Focal Utopia Headphones $4,000 Review
‘I needn’t belabor the fact that the Focal Utopia has the best top end of any headphone I’ve ever heard. But isn’t the price practically a provocation? I should point out that Focal does offer the less expensive Elear, with aluminum-magnesium dome drivers, for a quarter of the price (review at soundandvision.com), and really good headphones can be had for a few hundred. You could buy three HiFiMen, 10 Sennheisers, or 40 Sonys for the price of one Utopia. But even at $3,999, the Utopia costs less than about three-dozen floorstanding speaker models in our Top Picks. For what is surely the king of the dynamic-headphone category, that’s prac- tically a steal.”
HiFiMAN Edition X V2 – Review
July 28, 2017 Comments Off on HiFiMAN Edition X V2 – Review
” The price shelf of the Edition X V2 is really a “new” $1k benchmark. The headphone is very much HiFi at its core, with even more entertainment flushed out on both ends. Designer Fang Bian has constantly pushed for better and better sound from his products, and this new middle ground here is no exception. ”
Abyss AB-1266 Phi headphones $4495 Review
July 21, 2017 Comments Off on Abyss AB-1266 Phi headphones $4495 Review
“Many headphone connoisseurs consider the Stax SR-009 electrostatic headphones ($3825 + dedicated amplifier) to be the best-resolving of all candidates for best headphone. My numerous but brief auditions of this venerable classic suggest that the SR-009 does indeed generate the most beautiful and fascinating midrange, but it also sounds identifiably electrostat-like—and, hence, less natural than the Abyss AB-1266 Phis, which appear to have almost no sound of their own.”
