“The party-piece of the set-up, though, is a pair of front tweeters. They use Bang & Olufsen’s trademark Acoustic Lens Technology and can be found on top of the dashboard in either corner. Hit the Start button and they rise dramatically up from the dashboard. Exit the car and they descend back into their housings, ready to surprise your next passenger.

GoldenEar SuperSub X subwoofer Review

“So with this woofer it pays to play to its strengths. The SuperSub X is a thrillingly ballistic performer that hits far harder than a box with these compact dimensions has any right to. It can create bone-jarring impacts, and goes deep enough to find soundtrack secrets that can be overlooked. It’s clear that GoldenEar has worked extremely hard to ensure that its vast power output is contained and used to good advantage, and it’s easy to live with day-to-day. ”

JH AUDIO LOLA HYBRID CUSTOM-FIT IN-EAR MONITOR $1,750 REVIEW

“First and foremost, the Lola’s sound is defined by its wonderfully nuanced, well-balanced, and smooth yet highly articulate midrange response—response that I attribute to the Lola’s new dual dynamic midrange driver array. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about these midrange drivers that allows them to sound vibrant, alive, engaging, and highly expressive, yet at the same time to sound neutrally balanced with almost complete freedom from overt colourations.

Sanders Model 10e Hybrid Electrostatic Loudspeaker $17,000 Review

“The fact that the Sanders, because of the vertical size of the panel, presents a sonic image that is not fettered at a particular height while not theoretically predicated one way or the other (stereo does not have theoretical height impression) will add for some listeners an additional dimension of realism. Certainly those speakers that make one feel one is looking down at the music diminish the naturalness of the spatial impression. Point source speakers that present the height at ear level can be very natural, however. But there is a special impression generated by speakers that are enough like a line source to float the images vertically (so that the image moves up or down if the listener does), which to me seems natural as well, in a different way.”

Acoustic Research AR-H1 $599 Review

Listening to music through the AR-H1 is a pure joy, which is why they easily win our Editors’ Choice award. If you’re interested in an open-back style planar magnetic headphone pair, the AR-H1 won’t likely disappoint. Some listeners might prefer a smidge more bass depth, but that is where some stereo receivers might come in handy, and I personally didn’t feel the sound signature lacks in that department. This is a wonderfully accurate audio experience, ideal for music lovers or sound professionals wanting to check their mixes. The aforementioned Audeze and Blue planar magnetic headphones are also solid options.”

Grado Labs PS-2000e Headphones $2695 Review

“There is no question that the Grado PS-2000e is one of the best headphones on the market. It sounds fantastic, and I found the new wider leather head-strap to support these rather heavy ear-goggles in a very comfortable manner. Its sound quality is practically faultless, and possesses a certain aural magic that one finds only in an ultra-premium audiophile product. One might notice that I spent as much time writing about the music I was playing through these Grados as the sound of the headphones. This is because the headphones have a sound that is at the service of the music, period. And so, the PS-2000e is definitely worth its asking price.”
