  1. Mod House Tungsten

    5.00 star(s)
    Intro and disclaimer I met Ryan from Mod House a few years ago at my first Schiit Audio meet back in 2018. Ryan is passionate about what he does, and it shows in the gear that he makes. I had a pair of T50RP Argons a few years ago that I liked a lot but regretfully sold when I moved more towards IEMs. I picked up a T60RP Argon that I enjoyed even more and still have to this day. They are my daily drivers at my desk. Right before the spring 2023 Schiit meet that I hosted, Ryan from Mod House sent me a few photos of his prototype headphone. At the...

    Into and disclaimer This is the first Cayin product that I’ve ever tried. I was lucky enough to be selected for the official Cayin N7 review tour.

  3. Sennheiser IE 200

    5.00 star(s)
    Intro and Disclaimer I have been a Sennheiser fan since I was a kid. I still remember jamming out to Collective Soul (on MiniDisk!) with my HD555. A few months ago, I did a review of the Sennheiser IE600. At the time, I felt like it set the bar its price point. I still feel like that is the case. I have not heard anything since that has provided the level of sound. Clarity, comfort, plentiful yet controlled bass, great accessories, and stellar build all make it an amazing buy. When the opportunity came to try the IE200, I jumped at the opportunity...
  4. Final Audio A5000

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro and disclaimer When I saw the Final Audio A5000 review come up, I was pretty eager to sign up. I’ve never heard any Final Audio headphones or IEMs. After my IE600 review, I started to really get curious about single driver IEMs. Thanks to Audio46 for setting up this tour. I was loaned the A5000 in exchange for my honest option. At no point did they influence my decision. My thoughts are my own. They can be purchased here.

  5. Sennheiser IE 600

    5.00 star(s)
    Intro and disclaimer I have been a Sennheiser fan since I was in my early teens when I started to get into this hobby. I remember seeing the HD600 in a store and hoping that one I would own one. I owned the HD600 and many more sennheiser headphones. I’ve heard even more on top of that including the original Orpheus. I was excited to learn that I would be the first stop on the IE600 tour. I had heard a little about it but not much. I was very eager to give them a listen. Sennheiser sent me the IE600 as part of the review tour in exchange for...
  6. Empire Ears Legend EVO

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro and Disclaimer I’m really like Empire Ears IEMs. I have a custom Nemesis, Valkyrie, Bravado and of course a universal Evo. I purchased the Evo with my own funds from Musicteck at a discounted price in exchange for a review. At no time did Empire Ears or Musicteck influence my review. My thoughts are my own. They can be purchased here. Gear Used Fiio M17 Empire Ears Evo with JVC Spiral Dot Tips Fir Audio Neon with AZLA SednaEarfit Crystal 2 Packaging My version is the Launch Edition. It comes with signed packaging and a leather...
  7. iBasso DX240

    5.00 star(s)
    Into and disclaimer First of all, I’ve owned numerous iBasso products including the DX80, DX200, DX220, DX150 and DX220 Max. They have all been great for various reasons. I’m a big fan of the brand in general because I think they cater to the modding community much more so than other brands. One of the clearest examples of this that I can think of is the Fan Edition amp module that came out for the DX2XX line. I’m hoping to see that happen more. Speaking of limited editions modules; I was lucky enough to get the AMP3MOD module in exchange for a...
  8. Dekoni Audio x SKB Headphone Hero Carrying Case

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro: I was sent the Hero case in exchange for an unbiased review. That said, I’m a big fan of the Hero case! I’ve owned several Dekoni products and I have never been disappointed. When I saw the Hero announcement, I was very excited because I think something like this was overdue. The Hero is scheduled to go one sale soon and sell for $149. Build: The Hero case is Pelican quality. The latch is very durable and has a lock. The hinges look and feel really solid and the foam feels like it will hold up well. I have zero issues or complaints about...

  10. Focal Elegia

    4.50 star(s)
    Introduction: First of all, I would like to thank Todd over at TTVJ Audio for the opportunity to spend some time with the Elegia in exchange for my honest impressions. After I signed up for the review tour, I was very careful to avoid reading any reviews or impression threads of the Elegia in order to avoid coloring my impressions. I knew very little about the Elegia when signing up and absolutely nothing about their sound signature. I had recently spent some time with the Focal Clear and was seriously impressed. That headphone has probably some of...
