Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 Ebony impressions thread
@Darksoul They both have the same Fostex DNA (extreme treble and bass, recessed mids), albeit being tuned differently. The 900s have a clear edge when it comes to soundstage (oh boy dat soundstage) and also treble extension. I love treble, and those for me have the best treble in any closed back...- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Massdrop x HIFIMAN Bolt In-Ear Monitors'
---Introduction--- Here it is, another collaboration from Massdrop. Coming from the K7XXs, Fostex TR-X series and most recently the Plus, there is definitely a look of surprise on my face when I saw that the new Bolt, an IEM that was born from the collab between MD and HiFiMAN, costs only $10...- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Massdrop Plus'
---Introduction--- I love Massdrop. Despite living in Canada and bombarded with heavy import taxes, I am still very interested in special collaborations made by Massdrop such as the TR-X00, HD6XX, HD58X, and K7XX to name a few. After years of collaborations, Massdrop had to create something of...- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Shure SE425 Earphone'
--Introduction-- I know this review is quite late, as this IEM has been around the market for at least 7 years now, dating back to late 2010-2011 when it made its debut. However, I also understand that audio is a hobby, and one way or another people might want to get their hands on this piece...- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Noble Audio SAGE (LOT 18, #3)'
Intro The Noble Audio Sage was released back in late 2016, around November, and is meant to be a permanent replacement for the fan-favourite Noble Audio Savant. Despite being the successor of a popular line, initially the Sage was overshadowed by the Kaiser Encore, which was released around the...- CavemanSponge

Noble Audio Sage
Sage follows the footsteps of the Savant and features proprietary Noble drivers that result in a more refined and capable sound. Reconfiguration of a vented port on the bass driver delivers increased low-end extension with more texture with a slight lift in overall bass response.- CavemanSponge

Reply to review by 'cavemansponge' on item 'Sony h.ear on MDR-100AAP'
@apatheticR Okay so I see u need an all rounder here. I would say you should immediately cross the P3 out, because for me it is a step down from the 950BT. The M50X has good sound, with a V shape like character to them. I own them and although they are good to me for any music, it is dreadful...- CavemanSponge

The Beyerdynamic Tesla DT 1350 Impressions thread
Hmm if the case is similar with its bigger bros (DT7/8/9XX), then get the 80 ohms, because from my experience the DT770 250 ohm is way better than the 80. But I never listened to the 30 DT1350 so I cant comment abt that- CavemanSponge

The Beyerdynamic Tesla DT 1350 Impressions thread
From my knowledge, no there is no mic cable for this particular headphone. Try getting the T51i if u want a mic in the cable- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Bowers & Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphone, Black'
Hello Head-Fi! This time I'm going to review my wonderful but short-lived Bowers and Wilkins P5 Wireless Headphones. A quick intro, this headphone is released around mid-2015 and is one of the newer pairs B&W in their headphone lineup. This headphone is based off of the P5 Series 2, which to me...- CavemanSponge

Hello Head-Fi! This is my second review here and this time its about my personal favorite IEM, the Sony XBA-A3! A quick intro, this IEM was released a while back, around the end of 2014 (~September) in Japan by Sony. This IEM was meant to be a replacement to the XBA-H3, the previous flagship...- CavemanSponge

Review by 'CavemanSponge' on item 'Sony h.ear on MDR-100AAP'
I know I am a bit late to the party, as these cans came out at around late 2015... I think. I got these last fall, and after using them for 5 months, I wanted to give this a review since there were none here on head fi. A quick disclaimer, the price posted here is a sale price, I got it for C$...- CavemanSponge

Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread
Wireless sound for B&W should be just as good as wired, from my experience with the P5 Wireless. The issue that I personally wud be concerned with is connectivity tho. It gets choppy when u put ur phone/player deep in ur pocket- CavemanSponge

Best $300 DAP: Opus #1 vs AK Jr?
I only have experience with the AK Jr, and what I can say is it sounds fantastic the first time u listen, but it gets boring over time... Id say dull. Scrolling speed and overall user experience was mediocre, the iPod nano is faster in terms of UI and stuff- CavemanSponge
