  1. Sennheiser IE 8 In-Ear Headphones

    4.50 star(s)
    During all these years I have explored many different ear monitors ranging from the balanced Westone 4 to the fun TripleFi 10 and have always thought that dynamic in ear monitors don't stand a change against them. But no, the Sennheiser IE 8 proved me wrong.   Packaging and build quality   The IE8 was packaged very nicely and I especially loved the carrying case (some impressive engineering feat there). Its cables are soft but sturdy - one of the best stock cables I've seen. Very solid look and feel.   Comfort   Fortunately, I had a...
  2. Shure SRH 940

    Okay, let's go straight in the review!    The Shure SRH 940 is my first closed headphones and I am both intrigued and disappointed at the same time.    Packaging It comes with an awesome carrying case along with generous contents - extra pads and two replaceable cables (coiled and straight).

  4. Sennheiser HD 600

    Here's a quick summary on the HD600. I am going to leave out headphone specifications because you can find them on Sennheiser's website. These are open cans ,not suited for portability, and they do require amping (300 Ohms). Comfort They are very comfortable and my ears don't get too hot after listening for quite some time. The cups are quite deep and I like it that way. I had hours of listening enjoyment with it and so far had no problems with comfort.   Sound Quality Wow, these cans sound completely natural! I know the differences...
