There’s no way I can start this review without giving a shout out and massive thank you to my friends over at Hifiman. This is the second time they’ve sent me some of their products to review and I’m just as thankful and appreciative, probably more actually, than the first time. Like myself, there’s a lot of people who’re interested in purchasing a DAP and Hifiman allowing me the opportunity to share my opinions with others is both very humbling and something I appreciate so...

         A few weeks ago I was given a very pleasant surprise by seeing a PM asking if I would be interested in reviewing a few products. I think the keyboard wrote the reply for me I replied with an absolutely so fast. I’ve been really wanting to hear more products from Audio-Technica for my previous experience only consists of their Noise Cancelling ATH-ANC9 headphones and believe it or not I’ve not even heard the legendary ATH-M50 models (I know shocking right).     Fast forward and I have a package waiting for me to sign for. From here I’d...

                                                                           I must first and foremost give a large and heartfelt thank you to Vibro Labs for including me in their tour. I’ve heard a great deal of good things about this iem and was even recommended it by a subscriber of mine, so when I seen an opportunity to listen to one myself I just couldn’t pass it up. So again I give thanks for without this tour, who knows if I would’ve ever been able to listen to such a smooth iem.     Alright, so pleasantries aside how about we delve into...

        I purchased the Diamond Tears directly from Monster about 3 years ago as my now soon to be wife’s first birthday present we had together. Like most women she absolutely loved jewelry, everything about it. So much so she wants to be a gemologist. So when I got the funds to purchase these I knew they’d make the perfect gift. These beauties all but guaranteed someone coming up and asking about them and saying how beautiful they were and they they’ve never seen anything like them. From first impressions the collaboration between Monster and...

         A little About me       The Opening Experience       I traded for this product here on Head-Fi so I can’t correctly give an accurate unboxing experience. But I can say I was super excited to get it in the mail *insert smiley face*. ALSO, this is the NFB 15.32 variant (newest). The product page says NFB 15.1 (original), same frame but updated insides.   Construction                                             Though I can’t comment on the unboxing experience I can and most certainly will however say that...

                                                                         Before Carolina CanFest 5 (which was also my first audio meet), I’ve only been able to read others opinions of the well regarded brand known as iFi. Luckily, one of the most down to Earth reps. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting was able to attend and brought the full iFi lineup!     But my impressed feelings and impressions on those will have to wait for another conversation, for this review is about the iFi Nano iusb3.0 that Mr. Censullo was kind enough to allow me to loan...

            I must first and foremost give a large and heartfelt thank you to secondipity for reaching out to me and asking if I would be interested in reviewing some products offered by them. This is both a great honor me and a great opportunity to provide an insight into a company that budget minded audio enthusiasts who don’t mind purchasing refurbished products may find interesting. On a short side note before the review they’re having a special website relaunch event from 01-15MAY2016 that will be further explained in the “Disclaimer & Coupon...

     Firstly I must give a large and heartfelt thank you to both @AuneAudio for approving me a period with this and @nmatheis for organizing things in a way so that my time with this corresponded with the Carolina Canfest 5 audio meet that was being hosted in Charlotte then also I have to give thanks to @Podster for sending it to me within the correct time frame, which lately has become a rarity for most tours. So to all of you I both tip my hat and sincerely thank you.                                                      The...

         When asked if I wanted to take part in this tour I quite quickly replied with an overwhelmingly resounding, YES! After hearing how awesome the X1s was I absolutely had to hear the other offerings in Aune’s lineup as well especially in the Digital Audio Player (DAP) realm. So for this I must give a huge thank you to both Aune for accepting me and NMatheis  for inviting me to this outstanding tour. But without further adieu allow me to express my thoughts into the Aune M2.         The Opening Experience       The opening...

                                                                                         When first beginning my time with this unit I honestly never thought that it’d give my go to Bowers & Wilkins P7 a run for their money like they did but whew. These beauties really aren’t just good looking let me tell you that.  Before I begin this adventure I need to give a large thanks to @Mezeteam for approving me into this tour. I’ve been wanting to hear this ever since I first seen their design and the wait was most certainly worth it. So again Meze I...

    I must first thank BlitzWolf for sending me out this unit in exchange for my unbiased, professional review. Throughout the week I’ve had with this little unit I must say I’ve sincerely enjoyed myself and am quite surprised with the quality of it per the price charged. But how about we find out what makes me come to this conclusion shall we?                                                                                         The Opening Experience       Ah the initial handshake as to introduce a product to the customer, the handshake if...

         A headphone that’s been making waves. The direct “trickle down” of the legendary Hifiman HE-1000. To be accepted into such a prestigious tour is something I’m tremendously thankful for and for that @Hifiman, and to another friend who helped me, II thank you.                    The Opening Experience       I must say, this is one of the firmest “handshakes” I’ve ever been given by a company. The presentation is truly one I will not just remember but use as comparison for other unboxings. The pictures on the front and sides are...

         First and foremost I must express my extreme gratitude to Airist Audio for allowing me to take part in their Heron 5 tour. This is an extremely high dollar piece of equipment and to be entrusted with such bestows me an amount of pride that I cannot be grateful for enough. However that be said with this being the super high price it is of $2,000 I will be of the up most critical of this unit. Throughout every aspect for if a company is going to present such an elite class product then I feel it should perform in representation of such. So...

I must first and foremost give many thanks to both @Shanling for setting up this review tour and then also to my friend @nmatheis who invited me to take part. I am truly honored to be a part of such a community where we take care of our own and do our parts to better this field. But now the important part, the review of the Shanling M2                         The Opening Experience       The initial handshake to introduce me to Shanling was very firm and confident. The box was without any frills or unnecessary lettering but instead very...

        Yet again I find myself having to show a massive token of gratitude and thanks to Bill Poteet from Sennheiser. For he very graciously allowed me to review these very new and very popular offerings from Sennheiser. So my friend I humbly thank you and to Sennheiser keep on making some outstanding products!   The Opening Experience       I unfortunately cannot provide an opening experience section for this headphone for I was delivered a review unit that solely consisted of the headphone and carrying case. But my experience from opening...

        I must absolutely first and foremost thank Jack Vang and his team at Empire Ears for contacting me personally and asking if I’d like to be a reviewer for a new line of products they have for the launch of their new company. I’m absolutely humbled and honored at this opportunity and can’t thank you enough.     When Jack contacted me with his proposal and after the terms were all laid out he then proceeded to just completely and utterly baffle me with his customer service and true passion for getting what it was that I wanted in sound. He...

    If you remember a few months ago I received my first bluetooth earphone, the Havit Sports Bluetooth Earbud. I greatly enjoyed the freedom it provided me during my workouts seeing I no longer had a cord flapping merrily in the wind. So when a fellow head-fier offered to trade me the JLab Epic Bluetooth Earphones in exchange for my Monster Inspirations that I no longer used, I happily took the gentleman up on his offer. So, how do I find the JLab Epic’s performance? Let’s find out.                                                                  ...

                                                                                   I absolutely have to give a huge shoutout and thank you to Todd at TTVJ audio for allowing me a chance to demo and review these. For these being so new even if I’ve the chance to go to a meet being able to see these is quite unlikely, so again I thank you.                                                                                 The Opening Experience       One of the few products I’m away of that do not come with a cardboard artbox (retail box)...

                                                                                 The Sennheiser HD650. The #1 overall rated headphone on the most prestigious and well known personal audio website Head-Fi.org. So when I had the chance to trade my most expensive headphone I’ve ever purchased (at the time), the Beyerdynamic T70p, I was definitely interested to see just what everyone was talking about. So I’ve had these headphones for about 6 months now and have put a respectable amount of hours on them considering all the gear I’ve also reviewed...

Yet again I find myself having to give a major thanks to Edifier and their team for selecting me to be a reviewer for them and for sending me a product in exchange for my honest review. So without further adieu let’s dive into their flagship I.E.M.                                                                                    The Opening Experience       The initial handshake was at first quite nice. The box is advertised with very minimal jargon on the box as is it keeping itself very minimalized. Upon opening the box everything else just...
