Following the release of the truly wireless Powerbeats Pro, Beats has introduced a new on-ear Solo Pro headphone. It features active noise cancellation, a redesigned aluminum frame featuring limited edition matte colors, and new drivers. Available October 30th for $299...

The new Powerbeats Pro, a truly wireless successor to Beats’ Powerbeats line, has recently leaked and is expected to launch in April. Powerbeats Pro will be a fitness-oriented IEM. It is expected to include Apple’s new H1 chip which should give it an edge over every other truly wireless...

Apple is reportedly working on “high-end” over-ear wireless headphones with an “all-new design” “as convenient as AirPods.” Apple has spent the past few years developing a team of the finest engineers from top universities and elite audio brands, and their recent efforts have been extremely...

It's a bit taboo around Head-Fi to get excited for a new Beats headphone, but hear me out because I believe Beats under Apple is on a true upwards trajectory and that the Beats Studio 3.0 will be the best wireless headphones on the market. What we know: - The Studio 3.0 will include an Apple...

I'm intimately familiar with the entire range of headphones and brands out there through many hours of comparison shopping, yet none check every single box for what I feel a modern headphone should be. Nor do I feel enough manufacturers are focusing unique auditory implementations into...

Audiophiles heading into this comparison already know which headphone is better when used with a wire, but does audiophile bliss in a portable package translate into a better wireless experience than the world's largest technology company can provide? Let's find out if the best wireless...

Mark my words: 2017 will see the most innovation from headphone manufacturers in over a decade, if not longer. For 2017 is the first year that wireless headphones can (and will) be designed to be superior in both features and sound quality to their wired predecessors, and that transition is the...

"Audio-Technica’s Pure Digital Drive uses a Trigence Semiconductor Dnote chipset that keeps the signal digital right up until it hits the driver. Instead of digital-to-analog conversion, this chip translates the signal into digital pulses that move the voice coil in the driver, creating the...

For many years the market leaders like Bose and Beats have been underwhelming in execution, sound quality, and build quality -- yet people continued to buy them in multitudes. After testing out the newest models from both though, namely the QC35 and Solo3 respectively, it's clear that they're...

Most of us understand the dangers of hearing loss, yet it seems every new headphone model keeps pushing the maximum decibel level. I can barely stand to listen to headphones on my iPhone on max volume, let alone my MacBook Pro which can drive a decent pair of headphones at about twice the...

Is it normal to only enjoy audiophile equipment when in a really good mood? I have to be in a great mood to really enjoy music, and when I am then music with a great pair of headphones sounds completely different than it does otherwise. A pair of headphones like the M-100 turn into magic, and I...

While I have been very conscious of hearing loss for a long time, even measuring the decibel levels of my headphones and not listening above 90 decibels as well as wearing earplugs at concerts, I bought a Klipsch KMC 3 speaker, which has a max loudness of 105 decibels and have been using it...

iPhone 7 is shaping up to be a major step forward for audio, even if many will miss the rumored-to-be-omitted headphone jack. Apple's Lightning output will be capable of providing higher-quality audio than the headphone jack was capable of, and I believe Apple will fully embrace audiophiles if...

So, here's the deal: my 2006 Cadillac CTS has quite a decent stock stereo system, with the caveat of not having an auxilary input. Sure, I could replace the radio itself however that would involve replacing practically the whole dashboard in my car including the wood trim needing to be removed...

At times I seem to not be able to enjoy any of my headphones, and it seems like it may be caused by having congested ears on a daily basis. I can definitely notice the difference when my ears are "open" and when they are "congested." I have had a constant issue with my left ear for a a few...

One of my main concerns wearing my M-100 outside, especially at night when it can tend to rain even without it being in the forecast, is that it will start raining and I will have nowhere suitable to store my headphones. If full-size headphones were pocketable, which is far from the case even...
