I have no issues with the durability or rigidity of Mobius, but it’s definitely exciting to hear that Audeze has more products to introduce since I noticed that Mobius is sold out on their site.

Remarkably, AirPods Max would be one of the most neutral headphones ever tested if the lower treble didn’t roll off. The bass accuracy at 8.9 and mid accuracy at 9.4 is excellent. However, I wouldn’t suggest to the sound engineers to attempt to change this just for the sake of satisfying an...

There’s no reason to believe that Apple couldn’t create one of the best over-ear headphones on the market, if not the best Bluetooth headphone. I’d trust your ears.

I was about to add an off-topic disclaimer. The potential of a good car audio system is underrated. The new HomePod could offer a complementary speaker experience. I’m definitely planning to be blown away by AirPods Max one day. Maybe not this generation. Maybe not the next. But Apple will...

I can’t believe I’m saying this but based off of memory it just may be. I’m genuinely surprised and impressed at the amount of soundstage, separation, and imaging. I gave it an imaging challenge that only my EL-8 Titanium can accomplish with lossless files, and it passed with flying colors...

I do have to admit Apple has one large, probably overlooked advantage over other competitors: headphone audio levels built into iOS. This will attempt to estimate decibel levels for any headphone, although it’s only going to be accurate for Apple and Beats headphones. It’s one reason that a...

This means that Mobius has a powerful onboard amp, although it’s mind-boggling to me that headphones can get so loud where the comfortable listening level is 10-20%. It’s the same story even for wired headphones on a moderate computer amplifier where they can get ridiculously, unnecessarily...

My ears definitely get fatigued quickly from headphones, especially since I find even moderate volumes are probably louder than I’m expecting. I’ve been trying to listen to both my EL-8 Titanium and Mobius at 50% volume and they have to definitely be lowered down to somewhere between 1-4 clicks...

To be fair, at one point the BMW i3 was destined to become the Apple Car. Maybe it can open up a larger conversation about what the audio system could sound like in an Apple Car. Or really just that we need wireless lossless capability. Even still, what are the odds that we’re both discussing...

Mobius has wonderful characteristics even in Bluetooth mode compared to the EL-8 Titanium, which is also fantastic in its own right. Definitely an Audeze headphone through-and-through. Honestly this may be as good if not better than the EL-8 if only I could test with more less lossless files--my...

I have been sleeping on the EL-8 Titanium. They outright embarrass my Beats Solo3 and all of the over-ear Bluetooth headphones I’ve used in the past, although that should be a given. The quality with lossless files is absolutely insane. It’s possible to get used to the default sound signature...

Have you tried EQ’ing to your preference? This was one of my favorite infographics of all-time since I love the idea of having bass speakers under the seats along with five mid-range speakers throughout and five tweeters. Most automotive sound systems do this these days. It’s out-of-date so the...

What a funny coincidence. I admittedly loved the premium Harmon Kardon system when I had it on my previous i3. I also got caught up in the marketing hype of having the audio spectrum broken up by separate bass drivers, mid-range speakers, and tweeters. I do feel that it requires a good bit of...

This may cause some level of surprise, but it’s a BMW i3 which had its sound system developed by Harmon Kardon. They updated the audio components for the 2018+ LCI models, and I must say it’s potentially even better than the branded Harmon Kardon premium option. I hadn’t realized that two...

It’s not drastic per se, I just don’t find it to sound appealing and think that it negatively affects the detail retrieval that the drivers are capable of unearthing. The bass boost works on the Sine and the iSine. I’ve loved the V-MODA M-100 and Beats Solo3, which both have 7-8dB of bass boost...
