  1. Astell & Kern AK100 Mastering Quality Sound (MQS) Portable System DAP

    3.00 star(s)
    Build & Usage: Good looking, very nice feeling player, it looks like a really sold build, and it's an all-metal construction. Not much to say about it, you can check pictures. I wasn't satisfied with the overall usage of the player because of quite a few flaws. The screen isn't so good both when it comes to viewing angles, colors and resolution, it is sufficient, but again, for this kind of money (~700$) more is expected in every segment, including that. It's also a touch screen (2.4 inches 320 x 240), and it's quite small for that, especially if...
  2. Sennheiser RS 130 Wireless Surround Sound Headphones

    4.50 star(s)
    Build & Usage: I have Sennheiser RS 130 for over eight years now (and still lasting!), which says enough about their durability, and the most fascinating thing for me is that I haven't changed the batteries even once. They use two rechargeable 600 mAh batteries, those "normal" looking ones found in a TV controller for example, not sure what kind of batteries those are exactly but you can literally buy them in a supermarket, even tho I repeat - I haven't changed them once in over eight years. Headphones are over the ear design and come with a stylish...
  3. Bose® IE2 audio headphones

    2.50 star(s)
    Pretty short review of the things that needs attention in my opinion when it comes to the IE2:   I paid for them around $140 here in Serbia and for the price I was disappointed. I chose IE2, when my Sony EX300 cables stopped working, because it was available in my god forsaken country Serbia where we don't have much choice except those highly commercialized brands as Bose. First that came on my mind is that there was a nice soft-ish leather-like black case, not huge but on the bigger side when it comes to in ear earphones cases which I found to be...
  4. FiiO X3 Portable Music Player

    4.00 star(s)
    Package & Build: FiiO X3 comes in a nice box with an adapter and micro USB cable, as well as a nice soft silicone sleeve to protect the player. It is built very nicely, has some retro touch to it since it doesn't have any wheels or touch screen, just buttons and normal, not so good, screen (but it does the job just fine). It has coax out, line out and 3.5 mm headphone jack as well as a micro USB port for charging, using as an external DAC or transferring music from PC. On the right side there is a "hold" switch that is used to block other buttons...
  5. Sony Mdr-Ex700Lp Earbud Style Headphones (Black)

    3.50 star(s)
    Package:   Nice looking small hard leather case that is not so usable due to a lot of cable folding (when I describe the cable you'll understand why is case so useless), plenty of silicone tips of different sizes but no foam tips like with EX1000 for example.       Build & Comfort:   Earphones themselves are built pretty good, they look nice and feel pretty nice, they have magnesium body which I found to be decently light for the size (they aren't that huge but still, 16mm dynamic driver had to fit somewhere) and nice looking, nice design...
  6. Sennheiser IE80

    4.00 star(s)
    Package: Nice looking but not really so convenient hard case with tight space for the cable. Most of the tips are useless; There are no mid-size foam tips (that most people use); just large and small foam and silicon tips are in all three sizes, but others are really useless (odd shape, no isolation or extremely uncomfortable). I found ear hooks to be useless as well and not so gentle on the cable since the critical point of breaking, where the cable connects to an earphone, is loose. There is also a nice cleaning tool with a screw on the other...
