Head Gear Reviews by Headphones and Coffee
  1. Dudios Tic Wireless earbuds

    4.00 star(s)
    These offer a very pleasant V shaped signature that is fun and enjoyable with most music. They offer a good level of comfort and fit depending on ear size and tips used. I would however recommend a foam tip for gym use as they might fall out with jarring movements. The item paired with everything perfectly from android, iOS to windows 10 for me first try. I only had a minor issue after accidentally tripping gaming mode. I was really surprised but the features and quality of this product for the price its very impressive. From the 18 hour...
  2. auris Amplify

    4.00 star(s)
    The product is simply packaged and easy to use right out of the box. Construction is almost all aluminum with plastic ends and removable clip. I tested this now for weeks using it with a large variety of earphones and low impedance headphones. while higher impedance headphones worked with this unit up to about 60 Ohms it is not recommended for a greater listening experience, 32 ohm and lower work excellent. The unit performed very well with earphones and I am quite happy with it for this purpose. The Tin P1 being the only one in my collection to...
  3. OneOdio pro10

    Opening the small box to find a full sized set of DJ headphones folded inside a pouch. Unfolding them into a very nice looking set of cans, I was skeptical that these were going to be anything other than lackluster BUT was surprisingly wrong. Construction is very good and more so considering these are under $30 at the time I received them . comfort was good as well I had no problems for hours of use. The sound was the part that supersized me the most Bass was deep with a clarity and rapid response that made bass heavy music very enjoyable. the...
  4. TRN BA5

    5.00 star(s)
    We will start with build quality as this is very impressive for a under $50 IEM. A solid metal body feel surprisingly light for an all BA earphone, though completely different looking it is as solid and the light as V90 from the same company. Great ergonomics and good wieght make this very comfortable for long use. Looks are at least to me very appealing with it's cyber looking angled design and large vent in the middle of the unit. Let's get this out of the way, this is not your next bass cannon but that said there is surprisingly a decent amount...
  5. S.M.S.L SP200 THX 888 Amp

    5.00 star(s)
    The Box contains the Amplifier and power cable and manuals. The first contact with the SP200 was wow this is the perfect size for my desktop setup and yet has a nice weight to it making it look and feel very well made. Switches on the front are very convenient as some of my past ones were on the back and limited where it could be placed.This is also the first THX reference quality amplifier with a built in AC power supply, making it easy to place as well. Surprising that after having the Magni, Spark, Atom and Aune this would end up being my...
  6. TRI Audio i4

    4.00 star(s)
    This TRI I4 IEM has one Knowles BA and one 10mm Biocellulose Dynamic Diaphragm Driver each side, A good value at its price. A durable CNC machined high-end Aviation aluminum alloy whole metal shell in blue and bronze, a standard Detachable MMCX cable and connectors, also comes with a really nice soft case/ pouch and a surprising amount of tips including foam and two types of silicone. The presentation far exceeded my expectations, well done TRI. Sound: Mids: The i4 is very pleasing in its mids with a great detail and richness to them...
  7. TinHiFi P1

    4.50 star(s)
    A presentation on this item is top-notch opening the box when finds a fancy Display showing off the Tin P1 in it's shiny Glory and a beautiful hard case to carry them around in accessories also include various tips of different sizes including foam tips, a beautiful pure copper cable and then the P1 themselves. Build quality is excellent although I thought that the T3's cable was just a little better. Still very pretty and durable. Comfort is excellent as usual from Tin HiFi the angular shape I imagine would fit most years especially being on the...
  8. Shozy Form 1.1

    4.00 star(s)
    Opening the very tasteful box with a great shot of the Form 1.1 on the front. One finds another box inside and a very spacious case inside containing the Shozy , a cloth braided cable and three different tips in three different sizes. A unusually unique shaped silicon, a white dual flange silicon and Tin audio style grayish foam tips. A very nice assortment of accessories. Build is light-weight yet quality is very good and the resin body is seamless, metal nozzle and a mesh filter with a metal vent towards the back. I like the two pin connector and...
  9. Dunu DM-380

    4.50 star(s)
    These were sent by DUNU topsound for my honest opinion so here we go. Looks: Remarkably not overly flashy but still looking upscale with some bling. Build quality: Sturdy non removable cable reinforced stress points light yet feels like you could throw and go without any problem especially since it comes with a rugged included pouch. Sound: I found the sound signature pleasant and quite surprising considering some previous experience with multiple Dynamics. This offers a smooth deep base and the transition to the mid-range was without the muddiness...
  10. Cleer Audio Enduro 100

    5.00 star(s)
    At the time of this review I have unsuccessfully been able to deplete the enduros battery using it for over a week now. Build quality is excellent and a similar shape to the Cleer's Flow but a lighter build. Comfortable for the very long listening sessions I've had it with this headphone. I'm grateful that nothing was in at the time so I could devote everything to this device. You know right off the bat that the Enduro does have a little more low-end then the Flow but is still balanced through the mids and highs following the Harmon curve with a...
  11. KZ ZSN Pro

    4.00 star(s)
    A improved version of the ZSN and ZST line with more refinement in sound details and a more controlled lower end. Yes its a typical V shaped signature with lots of energy but is far more balanced in mids and bass than I was expecting the highs have that KZ sparkle that's not for everyone but can be adjusted with better tips or EQ settings. Build quality is outstanding for this price compared to my older ZST they look like much more expensive earphones. My thanks to Senlee audio for the review sample so I could do a video and this review in my own...
  12. TRN V90

    4.00 star(s)
    The V90 is a 10 driver hybrid earphone with four balanced armatures and one diamond/carbon 10mm dynamic driver per side. The V90 was sent to me by Senlee audio in exchange for review and my honest opinion. Specification: Impedance: 22Ω, Sensitivity: 110dB/mW,Frequency range is 7-40000Hz,Connectors:3.5mm\ 0.75MM 2 pin, Cable length:1.25+\-0.05m, Aluminum-magnesium alloy metal shell design comes in Midnight blue or Black. Comfort: Definitely one of the best fitting earphones I've tried probably # 3 in my top 5 list also Its rounded shape and...
  13. Tin Audio T1

    4.00 star(s)
    Spec's Sensitivity:102dB Impedance: 16Ω Driver: 12.5mm DD Frequency Response: 18-25000Hz Plug: 3.5mm Cable: 1.3m TPU coated The package is top notch, looks like a little book opening it one finds the T1 safely in foam and presentation is far more than I expected at this price The T1 is certainly a interesting looking earphone with it's button look somewhere between a earbuds and a IEM . I comes with a round matching splitter that looks great and a remote that worked well with different phones and a few music players I used. Sound. It has a warm...
  14. Tanchjim Cora

    4.50 star(s)
    Great presentation opening the box the accessories are inside in another smaller box and include six pairs of tips and a velvet pouch. Build quality is very good even though this is plastic and lightweight it does not feel cheap the seams are perfectly flawless. Cable is thin but has a solid feel. The sound coming from the single carbon diaphragm DD is surprisingly balanced with lower emphasis and excellent mid-range the treble is natural and reaches a perfect point to fall off. Soundstage is accurate but not overly wide or intimate it's just...
  15. Macaw GT600s

    4.50 star(s)
    On first opening the box one is impressed with the presentation of this your phone plentiful accessories and a nice looking box mean this immediately feel like a premium experience. I would like to thank Apos audio for the review sample. This is one of those IEMs that snuck under the radar for a lot of people which immediately attracts me to it as I like the more unusual IEMs. The GT600s shell is small yet has a weight to it and feels very premium with the 2.5D dragontrail glass. I immediately noticed that this is more ergonomic than its...
  16. CCA C12

    5.00 star(s)
    Let's just start out by saying this is not another KZ clone. The C12 shares internals with the ZSX but the tuning is different in some noticeable ways. The CCA has a better controlled treble and more linear presentation, the mids are detailed with minimal bass intrusion though noticeable more on heavy bass tracks but these do produce some great vocals for a V-shaped IEM, the bass is present and has a good depth and I like it's tight and punchy mid-bass and even if the sub-bass has a little thickness to it at times it's still quite detailed and...
  17. TRN IM2

    5.00 star(s)
    The IM-2 offers a exceptional value at only $20-$30 at this time. This is a hybrid IEM with one Balanced Armature and one Dynamic Driver per side similar looking to the tempo but with a metal nozzle and completely different sound signature. The IM2 is a mellow sounding earphone with great details well balanced from the highs peaking perfectly , to mids and the presence of vocals , the bass offering speed with a accurate crunchiness. This would make a fine monitor for professional use or for the casual listener looking for something that offers a...
  18. Cleer Flow ANC headphones

    4.50 star(s)
    I've been using these now for over a year. I'm am ready to give my analysis of these headphones. They are a well made comfortable set of headphones with a slight warmth but balanced sound. The Bass is punchy down to its Sub-Bass depth. The Mid-range is also clearly represented and the highs are clean and precise all the songs with great vocals I tested offered good timbre from its 40mm ironless drivers. The features are numerous with ANC that rivals the big two and has a very useful ambient mode that allows you to hear around you or a...
  19. Monoprice Modern Retro Over Ear Headphones (#16150)

    5.00 star(s)
    At first glance one first thinks of AKG or Samson clones but these have their own character and performance is anything but similar to the above. The Monoprice Retro is probably the best sub $30 headphone on the market today as of the time of this review I got them for $24 US. The M retro offers cool style with a great V signature that has surprising soundstage for a closed-back headphone. The mids are not the most impressive and highs are over emphasized but not to a ear drilling point for me The Bass is punchy with some depth and at this price...
  20. Monolith by Monoprice Liquid Spark Headphone Amplifier by Alex Cavalli

    2.50 star(s)
    This is a superb sounding Amplifier for headphones that has the power to run just about anything you throw at it. Very solid construction and a interesting design combined with an amazing performance for the price makes this a good addition for the budget-minded audiophile. I paid my spot with the schiit modi 2 Uber for a amazing combination of equipment at under the $200 mark. I liked it so much that I ended up buying a second one for the living room. My happiness was only hampered by the excessive heat thrown off of the spark unit which...
