    4.50 star(s)
    As of now my pictures can't get uploaded to Head-Fi, so here's a link to them until I can integrate them properly. You can head over to my website https://halfnotereviews0.wordpress.com/ for high resolution versions of the photos. Imgur : https://imgur.com/a/hozeIwA # Intro/disclaimer : - This early review sample was sent by Hifigo, but bought with my own money. There is no financial incentive, nor influence from the vendors or manufacturers. # First Impressions : - Unboxing : The unboxing experience is similar to that of jewelry, but for the...
  2. KZ x HBB PR2

    1.50 star(s)
    # Intro/disclaimer : - This product has been bought on my own, without any incentive from any party to write this review. - I write this after writing the main body of the article, brace yourselves folks. It's rare I get this rowdy when writing, and my language will stray from the usual form I try to stick to, but we have some serious work to do. -Here are the photos, still not possible to embed them for some reason : https://imgur.com/a/QugYXpw # First Impressions : - The KZ unboxing is a meme at this point. Asking twice the price of a regular...
  3. Sennheiser HD 800 S

    5.00 star(s)
    Intro/disclaimer : - The unit was bought on my own, and long before I met anyone at Sennheiser. I cannot post the pictures the way I used to, integrated int the review as I used to. So, until Head-Fi fixes this issue, here's a Imgur link : https://imgur.com/a/ifXdZXE # First Impressions : - Unboxing : Not as nice as the previous iteration of the 800S, the simple foam and packed cables is kinda sparse for a near two thousand euros product. The product itself is so well made though, it makes up for a big part of the experience. At launch, the box...
  4. TANGZU Princess Chang Le

    Intro/disclaimer : - This is the latest offering from Tangzu, targeting a wider demographic than the traditional IEM market, at a lower price. The bullet style in-ear earphones are in a full renaissance at the moment, which is understandable because of the comfort advantage. - This unit was sent to me directly by Tangzu, and even though my opnions are totally my own it should be taken into consideration when reading the article. - I still have trouble uploading my photos to Head-fi at the moment, so you'll have to rely on Imgur for now until I...
  5. Sennheiser IE 900

    5.00 star(s)
    This product was bought on my own without any contact with any brand, store or else. This is purely a consumer review, void of any bias or incentives. I've already had experience with Sennheiser before, in the headphones domain but this is my first in-ear product from them. - Photos are yet to come, this line will be deleted once I've had time to shoot and upload the pics. Edit : Head-fi seems to be precious at the moment, and I can't integrate the pics the way I usually do. So here's a link until I/they fix the image integration ...
  6. Tangzu x See Audio Shimin Li Encounter Edition

    3.50 star(s)
    Intro/disclaimer : - This unit was sent to me for review, I didn't pay for anything - As always don't rely on a single source of info for purchasing decisions First Impressions : - Unboxing : The packaging is much better than the previous Shimin Li, mostly because of the inclusion of a pouch : while not as secure as a case, it's easily usable and carryable. The tip selection is generous as always, and the presentation is better than simply throwing in plastic bags filled with tips. As of now I prefer it with the S&S tips, the Final Type E and the...
  7. Final Audio A4000

    4.00 star(s)
    # Intro/disclaimer : - Bought myself, no relation to any dealer/brand. The product is nearing its 2 year anniversary, and this market has been shaken up a lot during these years. It's interesting to compare it against the pack and see how it fares ! # First Impressions : - Unboxing : I really, really like final's approach to boxing. The stuff is simple, but much sturdier than the chi-fi stuff I get to review. The years of experience really do stand out. - The case for it is highly usable and pocketable, which is still rare these days, no...
  8. Tansio Mirai Sands

    4.50 star(s)
    Hi, this is my review of the Tansio Mirai Sands. A very nice but niche IEM, that is made to order and because of that it's basically nonexistent in the collective mind of IEM buyers (looking at you r/inearfidelity) that's occupied (or polluted, your call) by mass marketing, reviews bought by brands and Chinese platforms. So here is a refresher, as much the experience as the product itself. I bought this myself, I have no link to the brand (no one seems to, they don't have any social media presence AFAIK). First Impressions : The unboxing...
