It's finally here! The wait is over. I managed to stumble across this while going through the company's website: https://www.kaldasresearch.com/pages/inox Almost 5 years have gone by since Kaldas Research entered the headphones industry with its RR1 Conquest open-back electrostatic headphones...

Chapter 1 | A Dreamer's Dream᠎ ᠎Oleh Lizohub (born 1980, Ternopil, Ukraine) is the founder of Camerton Audio. Though Oleh didn’t recall his youth being marked by anything specific, he did tell me about his heavy interest in aeromodelling. The league that he competed in was the F2A (speed) class...

Though there will be primarily speaker-focused companies, Auris Audio will be there, as well as RAAL.

These 80s-style headphones are from the veteran brand, PRIMO. Little do most people know, PRIMO used to sell headphones back in the 80s and 90s. It manufactured a dozen or so models, of which one was CD-3 (released in 1986). Here we are 37 years later, seeing the CD-3 re-launched. What's more...

All three of these terms have been used simultaneously for the past several decades. It's been a true nightmare, because they do not have the same meaning and don't relate to the same concept. I am calling all Head-Fiers to help me out to define each one of these. Orthodynamic is a term that...

YAMAHA's first audiophile headphone amplifier, premiered at the AXPONA 2023. More details TBA.

Autobiography Isao Kumano 07.06.1970 Toyama, Japan Tokyo, Ikejiri-Ohashi I always wanted to know the purpose of life. I suffered from many illnesses during my childhood and was hospitalized many times. “What is the purpose of life?”, I used to ask adults, but I never got an answer. During my...

German manufacturer of audio cables, connectors, and accessories. I'm sure you've come across their connectors. Official website: https://viablue.de/com/ (cables, connectors, spikes, accessories) Thought I'd open an official thread since there wasn't one yet. Take it away ;)

I just stumbled upon this insane concept by Shustovskij German (Behance, ArtStation), thought I'd share it with everyone:

2 years ago, Phonon—a Japanese company founded by Isao Kumano and Alex Prat—launched a Kickstarter campaign for the SMB-01L. Previously, Phonon was famous for its SMB-02 headphones. The SMB-01L was a very ambitious project, and it was quite the journey. The Kickstarter campaign was a hit and...

The last time I went to a HiFi show was quite a few years ago. So long ago that I don’t even recall the year it took place. What I do remember is that it was Hi-Files Show. Back then, I took little to no interest in high-end headphones. Instead, I was interested in speakers. Sure thing, Hi-Fi...

Yamaha is finally making a return to the orthodynamic headphones field. Not only is it making a return, it's making a return in full force. For those unaware, Yamaha played a major role in history when it comes to orthodynamic headphones. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's among...

Venture Electronics, a company most well-known for its ear-buds, is now officially stepping into new grounds. Under a new name—Venture Electronics Pro (VE Pro)—the company will release more work-oriented items, and I'm assuming more serious products. Considering what has already been released by...

The concept of the thread is simple, post your favorite and best wallpapers =) If you know the artist behind the wallpaper, it would be nice to give them credit. We should always support artists whose work we love, respect, and use. They deserve it. P.S. Idk if Head-Fi compresses or alters...

1. The size of the editor when posting Head-Gear reviews should be resized to a more narrow size Why? Because when Head-Gear reviews are posted, they are published in the more narrow format. If the window size is resized to match the one when the Head-Gear review is published, the publisher...

Some time ago when I was reviewing the Dekoni Audio Blue, I wondered about the history of orthodynamic headphones. To my surprise, I had a hard time finding it in one place. I had to research for weeks to extract little bits of information. Unfortunately, the history of planars isn't that...

I own the Euridiche (flagship), Euridiche 3D (sub-flagship), Mezzoforte (mid-level) amplifier, and the Fortissimo (flagship) amplifier. I also tried the Minima, but it's nothing like the Euridiche and the Euridiche 3D. As far as I am aware, the Euridiche and Euridiche 3D have the largest...

My first encounter with Soltanus Acoustics runs back to 2019, and funnily enough, it was completely accidental. It all started with some Googling, and then I came across Soltanus Acoustics. The curiosity naturally kicked in, and around the time of July 2020, I reached out to Zoltán. Several...

Altiat, pronounced (all-t-a), is the 2nd company founded by Aumkar Chandan. Kaldas Research is his first company, and it's also Altiat's parent company, that is, Altiat is Kaldas Research's sister company. Both companies will exist "independent" of each other, hence why I wrote "is" instead of...

Sendy Audio just released their $1799 flagship planar-magnetic headphone. We can safely say that this is leagues above anything that the company has released in the past, and exciting, to say the least. Looks-wise, it appears to be the best product the company has put out yet. It is almost as...

SIVGA recently launched its $150 closed-back SV021. A gorgeous looking headphone for a entry-level price. Let's discuss it!

This is a thread dedicated to SIVGA's P-II planar-magnetic headphones.

A new and really interesting headphone coming from Camerton Audio — German company run by Oleh Lizohub. Mr. Lizohub is from Ternopil, Ukraine, but relaunched the company in Berlin, Germany. As you can see, it is an incredibly slim and attractive looking headphone. However, it seems to be...
