    Kaldas Research INOX: The World's First Consumer Closed-Back Electrostatic Headphone

    I’m excited to hear what the INOX has to offer. I’ve listening to an RR1 on a high quality amp and DAC, and I own the Cal.1H, so I know Kaldas’ tuning is right in the money for those of us who enjoy the Harman Target Curve.

    Altiat CAL.1H — Official Discussion & Impressions Thread

    It was actually a one-off color I had commissioned, it's not a standard color. I'd recommending contacting Altiat to see if they could accommodate you.

    Altiat CAL.1H — Official Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Cal.1H owner here. For me, this headphone is a natural step up from the HD650, if you are interested in a warm, bassy but detailed headphone. I use mine on the Schiit Magni Heresy, and I get great performance at low gain. The ease of driving these headphones makes them a great open back choice...

    BACKGROUND Ever since the introduction of the 3.5mm headphone-jack-omitted iPhone 7 in 2016, along with the subsequent release of competing smartphones following suit, the market for affordable bluetooth earphones has grown substantially. I originally dismissed bluetooth earphones and...

    iPhone 7 Compressed Sound on Chord Mojo?

    Oh I see. The A1619 is the one with the lightning connector. I use the A1440 because it fits into the USB module on the Mojo.

    DISCLAIMER: This is a unit that Smartomi sent to me to review. Design The MOTTO are wireless Bluetooth earphones that have a dongle on the end, attached to two-foot cables that terminate to an inner-ear-outer-ear earbud. The earbud design is somewhat reminiscent to Sony earphones, and has a...

    Review by 'bpandbass' on item 'Smartomi WIT'

    Design The WIT is not a hugely revolutionary design, but is solidly made. The body of the earpieces is a satin plastic finish, and the back decorative plates are made from brushed aluminum. The cable is soft coated, with a plastic remote dongle with satisfyingly tactile large silicon buttons...

    My Thoughts: Why are the Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 Still so Popular?

    When the Sennheiser HD600 and HD650 came out in 1996 (I think) and 2003, respectively, they were on top of the game. Ergonomic, great-sounding headphones in a comparatively nascent consumer audiophile headphones market. Needless to say, since the 2010s, the market has absolutely exploded, and...

    iPhone 7 Compressed Sound on Chord Mojo?

    Here is a bit of a mystery. I use my Chord Mojo plugged into my iPhone 7 via USB cable and CCK lightning adaptor. I notice that every time I listen to my headphones this way, everything seems dull and compressed. The bass is sucked out, the treble is dull, and the soundstage and image seem...
