” 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. ”

“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.”

” After all those years I’ve finally experienced a V-Moda Headphone. The V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless left me a positive impression overall with it’s great build quality, form factor, style and usage. To be honest with you, sound is not up to my liking overall. When I look at it in an objective manner though, it’s a great headphone for bass lovers and fun sound signature. Also I really liked the performance on movies and games, even tough it has a very good sound for music listening.”

” I prefer the term “acoustic resistor” as it’s often used to describe aperiodic vents. Aperiodic vents are sometimes used in small speaker enclosures to reduce the “pressure effect” at low frequencies without introducing resonances as simple ports do—hense the term “aperiodic.” In the MDR-Z1R this resistor is made of long-fiber Canadian softwood pulp in the traditional Japanese Washi paper style.”
