Noble FoKus Rex5 TWS Review

March 1, 2025 Comments Off on Noble FoKus Rex5 TWS Review

\\

Opening the Noble FoKus App I selected “Personal EQ” to try out the Audiodo Sound Personalization Software. This proved to be a different process than I experienced with previous FoKus headphones, testing each ear individually, the results were rather interesting and did seem to improve the sound though I did decide to take a second test when my ears were more rested. The results of my second test were very interesting, while the results of my initial test showed a similar curve for both left and right ear with my left ear being about 5 dB more sensitive than the left, in a rested state my right ear flattened out a bit and high-frequency hearing sensitivity increased significantly on both, which is something I expected hence the second test.

Grado Labs Signature HP100 SE Review

February 28, 2025 Comments Off on Grado Labs Signature HP100 SE Review

The Grado Labs Signature HP100 SE Headphones, newly constructed and advanced in every way, are now the true flagship of the Grado line. I do not know of another more neutral, more transparent, and dynamic headphone on the market that challenges their performance. There are many new features to read about in this review, but most notable is the ability to detach the cables. A first for Grado, ever! Power them from a DAP or a fancy head amp, and enjoy a you-are-there level of reality that will cause you to rethink dynamic headphone capability. 

I am not surprised that the folks at Grado Labs took this new direction in headphone development. I am surprised at how big a leap forward in transparency and dynamic range was achieved with the HP100 SE. 

TempoTec V3 $199 Review

February 28, 2025 Comments Off on TempoTec V3 $199 Review

When I reviewed the TempoTec V6 for my blog, I found it to carry very good levels of detail and clarity, without much coloration.

The same can be said of the V3, with very good extension up top. The low end carries on with aplomb and fairly good control. Reaching fairly deep as well, the V3 provided an overall level of detail that should be appreciated by most listeners.

I appreciated the sound signature with its ability to portray a natural, realistic signature that portrayed the intent without coloration or any false sense of sound heard throughout the testing.

Perlisten R18s THX Dominus 18″ Sealed Subwoofer Review

I can only conclude that when Perlisten designed the R18s, it understood that there was a gap in the premium sealed subwoofer market in need of filling. That a machine combining the displacement offered by an 18-inch driver, the refinement of an audiophile-quality true high-end hi-fi design from a company focused on measurable, provable high fidelity, plus the relatively compact nature of sealed subwoofers, which allows for impressive bass extension and delivers the significant displacement needed to achieve it, these things come together in a superb subwoofer that, in my view, hits a Goldilocks price point, a Goldilocks performance point, at a Goldilocks size. It is a clear Sound & Vision Top Choice selection for a premium sealed subwoofer, but it also gets the unofficial triple-Goldilocks award for really nailing what a premium sealed subwoofer should offer.

RAAL 1995 Magna €5.399 Review

February 27, 2025 Comments Off on RAAL 1995 Magna €5.399 Review

Comfort wise we of course can’t ignore the 515g this headphone weighs, but I do have to say I find the Magna to be quite comfortable. For comparison, the Immanis weighs 610g .Yes, there are lighter and more comfy reference headphones, but I do find the headband (cushioned with suede and stitched in a stylish diamond pattern) to do an excellent job distributing the weight. The side pressure for my head is good (making it safe to move around), but I can see how it would be too tight for some of you. Of course there are ways to stretch out the headband. The fancy silver-like adjusters on the yokes make it easy to perfectly adjust the headband and earpads
