Intro: I like to start my review with a compliment for AIWAs customer service. From the beginning you get quick and helpful assistance giving you a positive feeling that you have chosen the right brand.

Unboxing / Inside the box: The headphone comes in a sturdy carton box wrapped into transparent foil. One side of the box is closed by two magnets and it nicely folds open. Now something i have to mention because of my experience with another headphone. The new box & headphone fragrance. The new scent your nose will notice after opening the box the first time is there but vanishes quickly. Next you will see a well made pouch containing the headphone itself and the cable. It is a very solid case you can use for save transportation and storage of...

Introduction: Many years ago the DT-770 Pro 80 Ohm was my first over-ear headphone that showed me that cans have bass after a bad experience with a „reference of radiostations“ AKG Monitor headphone that sounded unspectacular thin and boring. The 32 ohm version of the DT770 Pro can not scratch a bit on the positive characteristics of my new daily cans the Denon AH-D5200. Yes its 5 times the price but its totally worth. So why did i test the Beyerdynamic anyways? Due to my first positive contact with a DT770 PRO 80 Ohm as a young boy and my present...

Review Fiio BL35 3.5mm Male to 2.5mm Female Balanced Adapter The Company / What about Fiio? As i did before in a review i want to point it out when a company is caring about their customers and provide a very good support along with their products. This is one of the most important properties of a company to give the customer a good feeling. In these times this experience is not self-evident. Its a great thing to have a friendly and helpful personal contact in the head-fi forum. Good job Fiio. Optics: Black & Beautiful Adapter. Fits well with...

Introduction: I was looking for a new over-ear headphone i can use with my AK70 MKII portable player. In the meantime i sold my AKG K712Pro because i dint get along with their sound signature and prefered to listen to my Fidelio X2. I use the Fidelio X2 as a gaming headset with my Pc. As i like a good amount of bass and searched the dedicated forum threads i often red about Denon and Fostex models. I put the Denon AH-D7200 on my wishlist but as i saw the younger brother AH-D5200 i had to order it and give it a try. And it turned out to be a good...
