For sale is the Hifiman Svanar in pristine condition. I am the original owner and have used it rarely since the purchase. Selling it reluctantly to fund some new gear. Originally bought in June 2023. None of the accessories have been used. No blemishes on the shell or the cable. Comes with the...

The HD620S were on display today at the High End Munich show, and I had a chance to listen to them. For me, the standout aspect of these headphones is the remarkable clarity. There is a "cleanliness" to the sound that is often not there in the lower-priced closed back headphones. Also, the...

Beyond excited at the news of the C9ii being unveiled within the year. Over the past two years, C9 has completely changed the way I listen to music on the go. It's also saved me quite a bit of money in a way, knowing that merely getting a new DAP is pointless as the amp section won't hold a...

Interested in the EU side of things (Munich). Gonna pair with the Code23 and Dunu Hulk Pro.

Prompt payment, great communication. Recommended.

Trying out the Holocene with the Neo iDSD2. Excellent pairing.

iFi Neo iDSD2 has excellent pairing with the HD 800.

Thanks. I used Tamron SP 90mm 2.8 macro with a Canon EOS R.

Kinera Verdandi + Cayin C9 + LPGT.

Nintendo Switch + Final VR2000.

For sale is a Tripowin Granvia cable for HD 800/800S in the blue/gray color combination. 1.5m in length, termination is 4.4mm balanced. The cable was not used even once after purchasing from Linsoul (purchase receipt available). Price includes PayPal fee and shipping within Germany.

Thanks for the suggestion. I would surely try to track them down for a full review treatment. From my understanding, despite the same driver config, the midrange driver on the Black Star is different from that of the Bonneville (Knowles dual-diaphragm driver). The latter has lower distortion at...

My take on the Campfire Audio Bonneville: https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/01/campfire-audio-bonneville-review/ To summarize: Campfire Bonneville offer a solid, all-around package. The bass and treble go for excitement without veering into “overbearing” territory, and the midrange tuning is as...

I have four different aftermarket cables for the IE 900 and 600 (two from ForzaAudioWorks, one from Effect Audio, and another from Romi Audio). No issues with audio cutting out so far. The Forza cables especially has been on the IEMs the most for almost a year now.

I have been using the Symphonium Crimson for a while now and in the process of finalizing my review. To add some context to things: I have never been a fan of all-BA IEMs for my personal use. The primary reason being the tame bass response (even when boosted noticeably), and the treble sounding...

Cayin RU7 + Sennheiser HD 660S2.

It's a somewhat "non-smoothed" version (notice the resonance around 8kHz). Many squig sites are also using what they call "Harman combined" which is not the same as the Harman of course. This came as part of the squig site setup, may have to look into how I can incorporate those other ones...

For me Kinera has been a mixed bag as well. I liked the Nanna 2.0 for example (despite the odd coloration of tone) but not a big fan of the Urd which I felt did not implement the EST drivers properly. The Verdandi fixes some of the issues I had with Urd. First of all, the ESTs are now lively...

Received the Kinera Verdandi today. Absolute stunners, in every sense of the word. The stock cable is no slouch either.
