This is the text of the full review with photos which I have posted at ohm image and can be read here: ohmage to the JVC HA-FW10000. TL;DR: I want this earphone. I want it bad. NOTE: I'm a newbie to the new HF. I have no idea how to write a product review for the HA-FW10000. I looked for...

Hey guys and girls, I know this is perhaps decades late, but I've recently been getting back into Minidisc. Reasons are outlined below but I intend to update this thread when I have a new review/video of units I have on hand, ones I think are worth keeping, ones I think are trash, and ones I...

  I can't believe it's taken so long to get a thread about Campfire's flagship earphone up. But I hope this will help to get the ball rolling.  Subject: Campfire Audio Jupiter FR: 10 - 28.000 Hz Sensitivity: 114dB @ 1V/1kHz Impedance: 35Ω @1kHz Engine: quad balanced armature   First...

Hey guys and gals, I've been long-demoing the Lyra, having had it in my ears off and on for several weeks. Last week I wrote this article at ohm image outlining my initial thoughts on the Lyra.    For more information, hit up Campfire Audio's Lyra product page (under construction):   I...

  There are already two threads on the IzoPhones-30 (and apparently, the IzoPhones-60), but neither are linked. I'd like to link them, and if possible, to start a thread where IzoPhones owners, borrowing reviewers (like me), and the rest of us can chime in.    First, the two...

There are loads of great reviewers and industry pillars here at headfi. I'm on a mission to chat with them, find out what screws their brains turn about the gear and music we love. That's the goal of my chats at OHM AIR. Why have I decided to go for headfiers? Well, we've got the world's largest...

    Update I: I have uploaded RMAA results for the Alien Gold along with RMAA results, too. Update II: I have written about the evolutionary changes from Black to Gold in this article which is illustrated with a number of photographs.   Since a lot of you are here for the SQ question alone...

  PURE II+ is now available. I have written about it at ohm image.     I've had this on my desk and plugged somewhat indirectly into my ears since November. I took my precious time to finish reviewing it. Now I'm done. I put up a review at headfi, too, but because we don't have a place for...

Cameras!!!! I was in bed (really sick) when I typed the last email about the a7r. Remember, I have no use for AF nor have I any AF lenses. I'm a still-life photographer, but I also do events for different audio mags here in Japan and abroad. I still have no need for AF, the expense, or the...

  If you want to read me ramble on more about haptics and finish quality, head to Ω image's review.    I know it is a year on and this earphone is no longer en vogue. However, I reviewed it. Take that world! ARggggh!   Why has it taken so long for me to get this on? Well, because I take a...

    Long thread title, longer review. I told myself to keep things under 1000 words, but then a new criterion presents itself every time I think I'm done. Ho hum.   The long short: This is a combo sold by Jaben Japan. It includes:   1. Otomatsu BDR-HPA02 x1 2. Your choice of a balanced...

  Sony have just released information about the continuation of the PHA series. Their new PHA-2 DAC/headphone amp will support DSD at sampling rates of 2,8 and 5,6MHz. It looks to share the same form factor, but sports a couple of improvements to the design. Yes, you still get the roll cage...

  Hello guys and gals, I think it's high time that the ALO Studio Six got its impression going. I think there are several of us who either have the amp or are borrowing it (me) and have had enough time with it to begin to give it some thread time.   I've uploaded a couple new photos at Ω...

    This is a slightly truncated version of my full review which is up at Ω image.    It seems this is a pretty hot topic lately. Chord & Major have been around for a little while, but new for 2013 is the Major series, which, above all, is 'classy'. Major 9 is wrapped in maple and each...

Ocharaku are now a big name. Well, among the small contingent of audiophiles who like headphones, and just so happen not to mind earphones, and just so happen to aim rather high with their wallets despite their purchases bearing breathing holes, lacking neck cinches, and being carried by almost...

We've got SUI and KAEDE on the burner. It's time for Kuro, a middling option that, in my opinion, gives much of what I loved in KAEDE (crisp highs, full, non-sucked out mids, great bass) in an unlimited production, aluminium case. I will update this thread with more information, reviews, and...

          Full review is up at TouchMyApps now. Full benchmarks for performance will be posted tomorrow.    I assume that Pan Am users will start to blossom out of this forum soon enough. I've been using one ahead of schedule (thank you ALO) for about two weeks now and wrote...

  Review: FitEar To Go! 334 - nonpareil   I've finally finished my review of the To Go! 334. I feel more like the zombie I described in the review than ever before. Why? Well, I've been listening non stop for about 3 weeks, maybe longer, stopping long enough to break it with a GR8 for a...

  I've got some photos of it up on flickr, so check the link in my sig, and full impressions up at TouchMyApps forums.   I have no idea if I'll review this amp/DAC more than I have already. This unit is an engineering sample from MyST on loan from Dimitri Trush. It looks and feels the...

  (For more details and further sound impressions, check out my original review of the Porta Tube+.)   If you don't know GoVibe, it is Jaben's top-end brand, consisting of headphone amps, DAC's, and sometimes, cables. Today's review encapsulates the GoVibe Porta Tube+, a 24/96kHz USB...

  It's years past now, so no reason to get excited over a review, or an 'old product', right? I borrowed the eQ5 from Musica Acoustics back in like February or March. It's dangerous game. I borrowed the Grado GR10 from someone else and now have the GR8. That's a lot of money to throw around...

  Before I get started. Before the lopsided benchmarks start their way across your screen. Even before I head to the loo, I'd like to say that both devices are wonderful. The Go-DAP for approaching audio and everything like a Swiss Army knife and tackling so many issues at once. The SOLO for...

(Before I get started, I always post reviews separately from main threads, but especially this time, where The National, is an amp that I feel offers so much for its price, there needs to be some more personal love shown.)   In the TouchMyApps review, I called it a new class of portable amp...

Okay full review is up at TouchMyApps. I must add just a few things but the text is as, though some additions re: measurements to be added.   I started impressions at the TouchMyApps forum. I'll have a full review later in the next few weeks. I think this product deserves the ink space and...

  TouchMyApps host the original full-length review of the z02. For here, I'll get just to the sound portion as I feel that is most important to the majority of Headfi readers. As for how I got mine, I didn't. This is a loaner from Musica Acoustics. I've been shooting some of their product...
