It's actually a sad catch 22 situation. You begin to review things because you like the stuff or topic and you -better have- the expertise and needed writing/video skills to publish your content. As you said @ToneDeafMonk you put a lot of sweat and time into that and nowadays high level due to...

Hi, anyone here who uses the E3 with an iBasso DX260 (which has impressive 1W on PO)... but would that be "just" enough if I want to use the E3 on the go? Please allow another question, since the Munich Hi-End was so recent: Any new "reasonably priced" headphome amps in the region around 1K (or...

In general I get your point, and everyone's free here to post opinions on audio gear, as well as individual subjective listening experiences. We all love that, no doubt. But this one quote of yours made me want to reply once again. He wasn't comparing the pizza girls with reviewers, he meant...

And now for something truly different, even off topic, but since I appreciate all of you so much, and your opinions obviously, I'd wanna have your input on a poissible buying option: I just listened for a good 1.5 hours to the Dan Clark E3 circumaural closed back headphone... I can get it here...

Hey Thieme, even though I chose to quote you, that wasn't solely addressed towards you as an individual. I wanted to make the point that we can freely choose where to buy (okok, neuroscientists might not agree with that :laughing:). When a reviewer posts a link to a vendor, does that...

And? As I said before, I don't see this as a sole purpose. And yes, Ali is sometimes cheaper, but can we expect that some homework can be done by the readers? It's not like "aah, there's the shopping link, I now feel forced to buy it there", no, I always look for the cheap option, but if I can...

A) nearly all reviewers here state that they got a free sample from xyz for review, and they even write more specific things into... what's called a disclaimer. So there's that. B) Did I ever see a deliberate emphasis of any reviewer here stating something like " oh please if you consider to...

Jepp exactly it happened to me, too... with the AZLA Clear and with the Liqueur's on the SA6 MkII, they produced negative pressure in my ear canals. It's when the IEM shell isn't vented enough and you use predominantly "sticky" tips I think

I'm definitely not a treblehead, but I found the highs a bit too safely tuned (in respect and synergy to the amount of good bass) until I put some Coreir Brass on. I understand Akros, the DaVinci is a phenomenal set for that price, but to think there are EST-like highs? This time, I didn't get...

the potential holes are marked with the arrows, the glue is highlighted with the ellipse. But nevertheless, maybe @ToneDeafMonk can check with a thin needle whether they are holes or not?

Had a closer look at TDM's Medusa pics: If these are accidental holes due to bad quality, they may affect sound, and the gluing process, hmm, I have my doubts, sorry.

Sure, we all hear a bit differently and have different ideas what sounds good or bad, but we are not the average Joe you ask on the street, we know audio, we have tons of gear to compare with... and if that's the case, and we hear two totally different opinions on one and the same set, might it...

Yeah! I'm soooo curious what you gonna say about them :beerchug: ... they are my momentary #1 on my short list. I just can say I hear what I hear, and the SL41 are not only worth their money, they perform better... but I truly cannot understand that someone would "crap over them", this would...

Maybe these, and they don't break the bank, but still are decent enough for the Abyss I'd say. XINHS 8Core Deep Purple Silver Foil Wire ivipQ 522 4-Core HIFI Earphone Replacement Cable

Maybe I wasn't too clear about the Medusa. I meant that they are good... for memes... not for sound and quality :laughing: Jokes aside, can you cancel your order? To me it looks this set might be worth to cancel. Just in general, and I sign this with the blood of innocent end game audiophiles...

Hey! do you maybe own an DX260?? I'd love to see them compared... but anyway huge congratz on your 180! :thumbsup: :beerchug:

Interesting Tanchjim 4U Review:

Agree, but there must be another Medusa meme... period! :laughing:

Thanks Timmy! Surely they're really early impressions of mine, I just wanted to share what I thought I hear right out of the box. BUT it was too early, because I already would have liked to change some details of my impressions (I guess you as a reviewer know exactly what I mean). Now with many...

🎉 :thumbsup: Just some of my recommendations from Chesky Rebecca Pidgeon - Spanish Harlem Casey Abrams - Why Don't You Do Right David Liebman - Ceremony Evening Amber Rubarth - Tundra Amber Rubarth - Strive these Chesky's I have in my test music compilation.

I love the Chesky recordings, especially the "binaural+" ones, they are an experience! ..and many of David Chesky's selected artists and recordings I use also for A/B'ing on a regular basis. :beerchug: Yes, that's exactly what they have to understand, it's simple physics and hearing...

When we were newlyweds, weren't we all unstoppable? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

OOTBI (please be aware): I can only confirm, of course, what so many others said about the DaVinci, and I'd like to compare some aspects with my SA6 MkII (henceforth only called MkII). Sweet sub bass, yes, indeed on the hefty side and you clearly can hear the awesomeness of using two different...

Ok, first thing with the DaVinci, tip rolling becomes a somewhat non-joyful experience... getting a condom on, is a breeze compared to that :sweat_smile:

Finally! :heart_eyes: ...unpacking done, tip survival kit prepared, now comes the fun part, let's see if I like them :laughing:
