Well, this has been quite the turn of events! I had auditioned a full-sized Monster headphone, which I felt rather negative about, but the Turbine Pro Gold (TPG from here on) caught me quite off guard. Overall, the TPGs are excellent sounding, have superior build quality to many earbuds and IEMs I’ve owned/seen and offer a wide array of tips for fitted comfort, so let’s explore what makes these so special! …After I make some tea.   Build Quality   Sorry, I made some toast too. Let’s put it this way, the majority of headphones, earphones and...

Nothing beats the morning light hitting the dark sanguine coloured cups on the W10vtg. If you want to skip the breakdown of these headphones and decide if they're for you, ask yourself if you like warm musical mids with a little bite on the high end-- if you answered yes, buy these headphones if not just for the headphone woody history and for the piece of art that they are.    Sound: The trick to getting the best out of these headphones is really dependent on the fitting. If you don't get your ears in just the right position inside those lovely...

I bought these a few years ago and I must say that I'm impressed how long they have lasted considering the price and how many cheap earbuds I've short-circuited over the years. I like the simple black/silver streak design and whatever they used to keep the cables connected in the enclosures is amazing as I literally run into work, shove my earbuds into my pocket without any care and get on with my day-- I usually have to untangle them after work, but still, they've withstood at least two years of horrible abuse and that is pretty much what I wanted...

PROS:   It sounds pretty good with a nice warm analogue sound and is recessed in the highs making it very easy to listen to for a long time without fatigue. The large screen is great for the movie watcher, but I personally enjoy a large screen just the UI's face. A fully customizable background is a nice personalized touch and the UI is quite straight forward and minimalist. The buttons, although a bit flimsy after a while's use, are very straight forward for controls and make track changing and volume adjusting from the pocket quite easy.  ...

Even though I have several cans that do many things better than the K601, I still found this to be my go-to headphone for some laid back listening before and after work. AKG engineered a winner in regards to comfort and engaging mid-fi sound reproduction that just does not get fatiguing.   This headphone is all about the mids! Not particularly detailed and therefore fairly forgiving, but very involving and musical. Bass is light, but packs a small punch and one can appreciate that it goes deep. Highs are a apparent although a little rolled off on...

Fang from Head-Direct has made a real winner here, although not perfect.   PROS:   Excellent packaging off the bat with the box including extra sets of cable connectors, in case you DIYers want to make your own cable. The brown leather headphone is quite comfortable as the bottom is padded with a thin layer of memory foam type material. The pads are nice, firm and covered in a black velour fabric and putting the finishing touches on the comfort levels, you have the adjustable cups.   The sound quality is very clear and delivers impressive...

These are gorgeous headphones that show off both Pioneer's stellar engineering and prowess in vintage music reproduction.   I found my pair to be very mid forward while light on the low end, a bit recessed on the high end and clarity is lacking; all though this creates a warm and forgiving coloration. A few of us considered the pads to thank for the lack of clarity as they are basically tiny pillows that are filtering the music. If you're a fan of some great, but sadly, poor quality music (classical, blues, jazz, etc.), I find that these really...
