    New Dragonfly Black and Red Discussion

    I'll be giving my just arrived Red a spin tomorrow on my iPhone 6 and MacBook Pro with my phones. I'll report back with my impressions. I have a DF 1.0 that I've gotten lots of enjoyment from and am pretty familiar with so I'm curious what, if any, improvements the latest and greatest provides.

    The Grado HF2--It's For Real

    I think the silly bickering back and forth about complaining about the cosmetic defect is completely unproductive. Both sides have a legitimate argument. John and Todd are not forcing anyone to buy the F1 phones. In fact, Todd went out of his way to notify the pre-orders that they would have...

    REVIEW: WESTONE 3, the ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL IEM vs everything else

    Quote: Originally Posted by soozieq And how many W3 owners would go to the bother of putting all lossless files on their daps just to avoid the ssssssssssssssssibilance? Not me! It's too much hard work and it shouldn't be necessary. And if it IS necessary, then surely Westone would have...

    Westone 3 Impressions Thread

    I'm supposed to pick up mine from the local post office tomorrow morning. I'll be doing a comparison review against the phones I currently use, including the Sensas, Ety ER-4P/S, KSC-75, and my Grados. Look for it an a couple of weeks time when I've had enough listening time with a variety...

    Westone 3 Impressions Thread

    Is this model significantly different than the prototypes people heard in the past? Ray Samuels's review had me salivating from the get go. I'm just wondering if I should shelve any past expectations based on what people listened to before the final model.

    Any impressions on new Sensaphonics 2X-S with updated HF driver?

    Has anyone confirmed with someone from Sensaphonics that they are using a new HF driver? I first got my Sensas in April of 2005. I got them replaced a few months later when the cable turned green, which they covered under my 1 year warranty. At the start of this year, my right earphone started...

    Audition of New Ultimate Ears Triple.fi-10 Pro

    Thanks for the review. I'm also somewhat of an Ety fanatic. The ER-4S is able to surpass even my custom Sensaphonics in some regards, particularly in the upper midrange clarity and treble extension department. I'm sort of at a crossroad trying to decide if my next IEM will be the UE-10 Pro or a...
