  1. MOONDROP X Crinacle Blessing2:Dusk

    4.00 star(s)
    First of all, many thanks to Shenzen audio, @crinacle and @skedra for helping to organise this review tour. Intro For those following the IEM market over recent years, you'll have no doubt noticed the emergence of the Moondrop brand. It's a brand that have developed a reputation for having a consistently well implemented house sound; a tuning that tends to err toward being on the more neutral side. Add to that reputation a build quality held in equally high regard, it's easy to see how the brand has gone from strength to strength. Finally, factor...
  2. Metal Magic Research Thummim

    5.00 star(s)
    All pictures sourced from MMR’s website As per many of the other reviewers here, let me say thanks again to Joseph Mou and @mvvRAZ for arranging the EU review tour of the Thummim. I was a late addition to the tour. I was a late addition because I’d read heaps about them and frankly I thought these are waaay out of my league. So far out of my frame of reference are they that I didn’t really want to waste peoples time or deny access to them for people for whom these are a viable purchase. As 2020 has gone on, (proceeded by not the best 2019 for me...
  3. FiiO X5 3rd gen Premium Hi-Res DAP

    3.50 star(s)
    Before I start, many thanks to Fiio for arranging this tour and allowing many Head-Fiers, including myself, to be a part of it. I am not affiliated to Fiio in any way.   A bit of background about me, I guess you’d say I’m a keen exponent of what many on Head-Fi would refer to as mid-fi gear; with a view to getting the most ‘bang for buck’. This is due in most part to having a young family and other interests which, for the most part, win in competing for my disposable income!! To that end, my current set up consists of Meze 99 Classes for home...
  4. Fidue A91 Sirius

    4.00 star(s)
    Acknowledgment    Thanks @Tony-Hifi at www.hifiheadphones.co.uk for providing me the opportunity to submit an independent review of the Fidue Sirius A91 (I have no affiliation to either hifiheadphones.co.uk or Fidue). There's a good selection of Head-Fi reviews that articulate the performance of these far better than I, as a noob to 'quality' IEMs, could do. As such, I'll try and keep this relatively brief.    About Me I'm a recent convert to IEMs having previously shied away from them in favour of over ears. A hectic home life (wife, two & six...
  5. Etymotic ER4XR

    5.00 star(s)
    First of all, thanks to hifiheadphones for the review tour invite.   Secondly and mainly because I believe the ER4SR & XR are worthy of the praise he showers upon them, I feel duty bound to refer you to the reviews of mark2410. Finally, because these are my first reviews (& I'm devoid of creativity), I'm also going to crib from his review structure (thanks mark2410, I hope you don't mind)?!    Before I move on, I must admit I'm not fluent in 'audiophilese' and my experience of quality IEMs isn't particularly extensive or recent! My current set up...
