AUDEZE EL-8 REVIEW
July 15, 2016 Comments Off on AUDEZE EL-8 REVIEW
“Highs – The treble on the EL8 was very detailed with plenty of sparkle and detail. Cymbals crash high hats tshhhh and flute’s rip. Upper-end keys on various piano tracks tinkle and stand clear of getting ate up by the mids or drowned out by the lows.”
Parrot Zik 3 Headphones Review
July 15, 2016 Comments Off on Parrot Zik 3 Headphones Review
” Listened to passively over the analog cable, the Zik’s vocal range became blaring. Powered through the USB cable, though, the headphones finally found their sweet spot: The highs had more clarity and dexterity, the mids some depth, and the bass, while forward, was well formed. However, once connected via USB, the ANC controls and all the app features are inaccessible.”
FINAL AUDIO DESIGN SONOROUS III REVIEW
July 14, 2016 Comments Off on FINAL AUDIO DESIGN SONOROUS III REVIEW
” The Sonorous III are of course over-ear full sized circum-aural headphones meaning that they go over your ears as opposed to sitting on them. This is just one of the factors that lead the Sonorous III to be a very comfortable headphone. I found that hours would go by and I had no issue at all with build up of excessive heat as my ears just had so much room to breath. ”

MRSPEAKERS ETHER C V1.1 CLOSED-BACK PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE REVIEW
July 13, 2016 Comments Off on MRSPEAKERS ETHER C V1.1 CLOSED-BACK PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONE REVIEW
” This ability to play loudly and softly at the same time—always with exemplary resolution, dynamics, delicacy, and finesse—is what sets the ETHER C apart, making it an extremely desirable headphone indeed. ETHER C is not just a great closed-back headphone; it’s a great headphone, period. Stated simply, ETHER C gives you all the music all the time, successfully harvesting all (or very nearly all) of the valuable musical information your recordings have to offer.”

HIFIMAN EDITION S REVIEW
July 8, 2016 Comments Off on HIFIMAN EDITION S REVIEW
” The tonal difference between open and closed is not what I expected at all. With the plates on you do get more of a closed in quality with a neutral and relatively balanced presentation but with a slight focus more on the mid-range and treble over any hard hitting bass performance. Clean and clear is how I would define it with a little bit of zip and sparkle in the top end. It doesn’t have the thickest note and bass is just neutral at best but it has a very good turn of speed, with good articulation and decent definition.”
Puro Sound Labs BT-5200 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Review
July 6, 2016 § 1 Comment
“Try the beautiful flutes and bells at the opening of Reiner’s Mahler Symphony No. 4 on his famous RCA/Chicago Symphony. The playing is gorgeous but the orchestration and dynamic really highlights the coherence and timbral qualities the Puro brings. I’ve experienced this recording on what was probably the best sound I’ve heard from headphones — a MrSpeakers Alpha Prime headphone amplified by Cavalli. What a magical combination. The Puros can’t compete with that aural alchemy, but they did give musicality in spades. ”
HIFIMAN HE-400S PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES REVIEW
July 6, 2016 Comments Off on HIFIMAN HE-400S PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES REVIEW
” My final listening session came with with the most expected pairing, the HE400S and my iPhone 6S+. Leading the playlist was ‘A Change is Gonna Come’ from Seal’s album 7 [iTunes AIFF 16/44.1 Warner Bros. 2008]. Having just heard the HE400S paired with top level high-end gear, it was interesting to listen to this more utilitarian pairing. First, the quality of the HE400S revealed the shortcomings of the iPhone as a DAP. It was outclassed by the Questyle by a wide margin. The key is that the clarity and transparency of the HiFiMAN planar magnetic technology proved revealing to the lesser sonic quality of the Apple device as a source. Not that it was bad, but there were edges to the presentation that the other gear was able to remove or not introduce into the song. The soundstage in particular was more closed in and there was a brightness to the sonics that would indicate a lower quality DAC providing the conversion back to analogue.”
Audeze EL-8 Review
July 4, 2016 Comments Off on Audeze EL-8 Review
“So if you’ve been reading the Audiophiliac blog for a while, and waiting till something strikes your fancy, the latest EL-8 might be the one. After all, reading about great sound is all well and good, but in the end you have to hear it for yourself, with music you know on a deep level, and then digest what a great headphone like this can reveal. The music has been there all along, but you never heard it like this before”
