It seems it's open season on the Harman target. Every reviewer and his dog now has something 'better'. And then there's this epic rant: Despite the fact I wish hawaiibadboy wouldn't say '****' quite as much (I guess he has to keep up the bad boy persona?), he's actually one of the few...

I’d like to send a huge thanks to Status Audio for loaning me one of their brand-new BT Transfer headphone units for the purpose of testing and listening. There's one review (from @HiFlight ) already up on headfi for this product (https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/status-bt-transfer.23798/), so I...

After some discussion with fellow headfi measurement enthusiasts, I thought it would be helpful to send a pair of Etymotic ER2SE dynamic driver IEMs out on a world tour. The aim isn't to produce a set of reviews for these headphones (and I'm not going to give them marks out of 5 here), but...

I was a bit puzzled by the tuning of the RHA CL2. To my ears, it sounds way off. But, as we often say, frequency response can be subjective. Is this size of a boost still subjective? Please cast your votes and/or leave your comments below! P.S. As per the initial request in my CL2 review...

This thread documents my ongoing journey toward improving DIY home-audio measurements in the hope that it will encourage others to do the same. This is about trying to make the best-quality measurements that you can at home, on a headfi budget. (Ok, some headfiers spend $3500 on IEMs like the...

This is a phone that not enough people know about and sadly seems to lack a thread of its own. Hence this post. A big thanks and shout-out to @yfei for sending me a Meizu Pro 5 to test :) Ok, this isn't really a review of the Meizu Pro 5 - I haven't tested it at all as a phone. I didn't use a...

I'm so sad to have to report that we've lost one of our most enthusiastic long-time contributors to this thread. Steve Reinhardt - whom most of you will know from a variant of the nickname his father gave him when he was younger (@spook76) has passed away :-( Steve was a good friend of mine and...

Hello headfi.org sys-admins,   I recently created a poll on a FiiO-related thread to help track firmware bugs on their latest X7 DAP. However, the current headfi poll feature is fairly inflexible. For example:   1) I'd like to allow members to vote for more than one item - not necessarily at...
