I bought the Sony MH755 for 10€ with shipping on a eBay Japanese shop (these are not fake, here's the serial tag). I’ll try my best to give an honest opinion about the gear, keep in mind I'm might have a slight bias towards Sony because I collect Sony Mini-Disc Walkmans and have a deep... Continue Reading →
Jason belongs to the selected group of reviewers I recommend to audiophile newbies. His youtube channel is full of great reviews that I use as reference when I need to recommend headphones to friends and acquaintances.Audiophiles aren't just classical and jazz fans, you got a lot of people into other styles also, and Jason is...

I'm going to be sincere, I don't know when I started following Ross's blog, but lets say probably when I still had my old Tumblr blog. That was a long time ago, believe me. Ross makes a podcast that I recommend. Podcasters are a rare bread of people with the gift of communication and a... Continue Reading →
iTzHard belongs to a group of people who say that they are not enthusiasts, even if they actually hear music on a really nice set of earphones.I do hope, I can remake this interview to iTzHard in a few years, with the hope that he has that midrange open back headset, until then he continues...

Also, he's a fellow Beyerdynamic/SoundBlaster... Continue Reading →
I enjoy talking about a lot of things with Mo, he's a headphone enthusiast I relate to because we share the love for anime (which includes some very well-endowed female characters) and games. I highly value his opinion on a lot of subjects, and I will go to great lengths to hear his recommended headphones.A... Continue Reading →
I really like the Sony MH750/755 models which were first praised by Crinacle on Head-Fi, so much that I bought from different shops just to find out there are a lot of turds fakes floating around these days. Crinacle wasn't kidding, so beware of fakes. It wasn't a truly altruistic endeavour, I just want to... Continue Reading →
end·game | \ ˈen(d)-ˌgām \Definition of endgame: the stage of a chess game after major reduction of forcesalso: the final stage of some action or processSource: http://www.merriam-webster.com There was a time I naively considered my headphone endgame to be the Beyerdynamic DT-880 and to be very sincere, if not a bit romantic, these venerable cans...

It was early 2013 when I first started writing on this blog, back then I despised audiophiles who spent hundreds in so called audiophile improvements. Most of those improvements aka tweaks were subjective and from my point of view probably snake oil. In my mind those audiophiles raised the price of gear, because audiophile companies...

Audiophile headphones* are a niche market, a profitable one but still small when compared with the professional and the mainstream markets. In this hobby most of us, if not all, tend to have a "limited" view based on our experience with gear, audio/music related knowledge and the communities we interact with. Let's imagine that our...

This all started when the brother-in-law of my wife asked me to buy a cheap generic USB to MIDI cable so he could update the presets of a Korg A3 performance signal processor. The A3 is mostly known for the iconic "U2 - Mysterious Ways" guitar effect and is now a processor some guitarists want to... Continue Reading →
Some years ago, I was rather aggressive on my quest for true music reproduction, during that time I often said and wrote that measurements were the only way to correctly support audiophile claims. I went out of my way to prove I was on what I thought was the correct side of the fence, the objective... Continue Reading →
Hydeout VitorAcha que o AS10 pode ser uma boa opção para performances ao vivo? Tenho o KST preto e ele não fica firme. Uma orelha sai mais que a outra e como ficam frouxos, o grave é quase inexistente quando tenho de movimentar mais. For my non-Portuguese readers, Vitor asks if the AS10 is a... Continue Reading →
The KZ ZSN was sent free of charge by Lillian the co-founder of Linsoul. I’ll try my best to give an impartial opinion about the gear*.Below I share the links to the store which provided the samples I’ll be reviewing, keep in mind that without the cooperation of this store I would probably not review this gear. Amazon:... Continue Reading →
I must admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for KZ Acoustics in-ears and because of that, I follow their releases with some attention.My main problem with KZ, is their aggressive release schedule, they literally cut the value of their top gear almost as soon as it's released, lucky for us it's also a...
