  4. Focal Sphear High-Resolution In-Ear Headphones

    4.00 star(s)
    --   Let me introduce you to the Focal Sphear.  S P H E A R, yes, I spelled that correctly.  Neither Google or Microsoft Word seem to agree with me at first though and want to autocorrect it with sphere.  Luckily you can just right click and add to dictionary. The S̶p̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ Sphear is Focal’s first attempt at an IEM.  I must say they took a very interesting approach.         *Packaging* Focal displays the rounded unique design of the Sphear right from the start.  The earphones and control are front and center, a premium look.  ...

    4.00 star(s)
    --   **Disclaimer - I would like to thank Edifier for providing me this P180 for my unbiased review. ** Though, I’m biased towards earbuds, as I love them.  So I’ll try and be as subjective in this review as I can.  Earbuds are awesome.  I mean, let’s see how the Edifier P180 stacks up.  Earbuds are the best!  Ok, not sure how subjective I can be.    ~All photos taken by me~           *Packaging* At this price point, one would not expect much, but the P180 is very nicely displayed in a well-designed clear box.  ...

  9. Meze Audio 99 Classics

    4.50 star(s)
    -- I’m rarely surprised by headphones.  If anything, most of the time I am slightly let down, I think a headphone is going to sound great, but it then disappoints.   With the Meze 99 Classics, it was the complete opposite; I thought they were just going to be another pretty face, a headphone focusing more on looks than sound, but I was SO wrong, so VERY wrong.  The Meze 99 is now one of my favorite headphones.  I‘m blown away by so many aspects of the 99, let me share those with you.      **All Photo Were Taken By Me, No Stock Images Were Used...
  10. Klipsch Reference R6i Black On-Ear Headphones

    4.00 star(s)
    --   The Klipsch Reference R6i On-Ear is built to a price point, to be a $100.00 headphone.  For this, Klipsch has done a great job producing a unit that actually sounds good, without being too flashy.  First line of the R6i description sums it up perfect, “Short on fluff”, perfectly said. http://www.klipsch.com/r6i-on-ear-headphones     As always, all photography was taken by me and no stock images from the manufacturer were used.         *Accessories* - Carrying Bag   Staying right in budget, you will find the only accessory to...
  11. Ultrasone Edition M

    4.00 star(s)
    --   Ultrasone knows how to make a good headphone, this is a common fact most of us Audiophiles are aware of.  Though with the Edition M, they did something special, they created a work of art, for mobile use.  The Edition M is a beautiful, light weight headphone for on the move.     ~ All Photos Taken By Me, No Stock Material From the Manufacture Were Used for This Review ~       At the time of this review, the Ultrasone Edition M is not currently available in the US.  It has a current MSRP of 899,00 €, which works to about $975 USD.        ...

    4.00 star(s)
    --   The Moshi Keramo:   ~ All Photos Taken By Me, No Stock Material From the Manufacture Were Used for this review ~     This is the 2nd Moshi Earphone I have had the pleasure to review in the last month. You can find my review of the Moshi Vortex Pro here:  http://www.head-fi.org/products/moshi-vortex-pro/reviews/14287 The reason I mention the Moshi Vortex Pro is that it actually shares the same XR9 full range 9mm neodymium driver with the Keramo.  Though they do both have a neutral sound, there are some variations in overall...

  16. Teac HA-P90SD [DAP / DAC / AMP]

    4.50 star(s)
    -- Before the TEAC HA-P90SD even arrived at my doorstep, I spend days reading this great thread to get as much information as possible:  http://www.head-fi.org/t/740309/.     ~All photos were taken by me, no stock pictures from TEAC are used in this review~     *Specifications*  I could go through all the specs, but this thing is loaded and it would be too much to list.  Best to find out more from the official TEAC HA-P90SD Product Page:  http://www.teac.com/product/ha-p90sd/       ~I can however, tell you more about the actual...
  17. RBH EP-3 Earphones

  18. Creative T4W 2.1 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker System

    4.50 star(s)
    --   ******Spolier Alert!******    This is an awesome 2.1 System, you might as well just go buy them right now, no point in reading my review.   But if you must insist in continuing to read, I guess I'll do my best to elaborate.       *The Box*     Being a wireless, relatively small speaker system, I made a mistake when picking up the box for the first time, I assumed it was light, it is not and my back will confirm this.  Like many Creative products there is a quality of weight you can feel when you pick up their products for the...
  19. Music Hall de-be Portable Headphones

    3.00 star(s)
    The Music Hall de-be really caught my eye.    Appeared to be very interesting, specs looked good.  I wanted to give it a try.   **All photos by yours truly**       *Packaging* The Music Hall de-be are $200 headphones, that come in a low budget box.  But don’t get me wrong, so do Grados, I can appreciate saving on packaging if they put the real money into the quality of sound, but more on that later.  So, not a fancy box.        *Accessories* The de-be is not a folding headphone, so it comes with a rather larger carrying...
  20. Brainwavz S3

    4.00 star(s)
    This is the first Brainwavz S Series earphone I have heard.  I must say, I was expecting a V shaped signature, not sure why, but I was wrong, very wrong…  More on that soon.        Should be noted that Brainwavz now has a brand new official site:  www.brainwavzaudio.com        Now onto the Brainwavz S3 Review:     *Accessories* ·         Earphone Hardcase ·         3 sets of Silicone Ear Tips (S M L) ·         1 set of Comply™ Foam Tips T-400 (M) ·         1 Shirt Clip ·         1 set of Silicone Bi-Flange Eartips ·         1 set of...
