Head Gear Reviews by noplsestar

So this is my review of the (Less Fox) Romi Audio BX-2 pro amp: Is it really portable? Or is it rather transportable? It is heavy, oh yes (670 grams; size: W93 L137 H30 mm). It has a CNC gold plated copper case. For all the specs, please follow this link: https://www.romiaudio.co.uk/product-page/bx-2-pro But for me it is portable indeed and I use it in my pocket every day. It gets hot. That’s a good thing … in winter :wink: I am a long time Romi Audio gear user: Had my Calyx M modded by them. Also used some Romi Audio high-end cables (Zero...

Hi there, this is my review of the Grand Line Silver upgrade cable from Lavricables from Latvia that now also has a department in Portugal. I reached out to Konstantin as I wanted to know if they would be able to make an upgrade cable for the Austrian Audio "Composer" flagship headphones that would need a special mini-banana plug. They looked into it and came back to me saying "yeah, we can do that!" 👍😎 Konstantin is such a nice guy and he always responded fast and it was great to chat with him. In the past I did review their Reference Silver USB-C...

Hi there, this is my review of the Noble Audio FoKus Apollo that I got sent from the German Noble dealer headphone.shop (https://headphone.shop) in exchange for my honest opinion. (At this point, many thanks to Kai Moulton and Thomas Halbgewachs for the nice communication.) So let´s begin right away with the design: And what a gorgeous design it is! Wow, they really do look beautiful. They feel good in the hands and also a lot lighter than 327g. All the materials are nicely finished. The cushions are very soft. Did I mention that I like their...

This is my take on the Arctic Cables Aeris V2 silver cable. (Full disclosure: I did get a price reduction in exchange for an honest review.) The Aeris is an 18-AWG per polarity in a 4-wire configuration. So a single-crystal 7N OCC ultra-pure silver cable in Litz geometry with 7 insulated bundles with, as Arctic Cables claim on their website, extremely-high strands count in each bundle as well as cryogenically & enameled treated with a custom ultra-soft and flexible TPU insulation. It is a rather new designed V2 series cable (though, in case you...

This is my review of the Lavricables REFERENCE SILVER USB-C OTG INTERCONNECT CABLE that Lavricables sent me in exchange for my honest opinion. ***Update*** -> please scroll down for the AWG23 cable version update!! +++ 2nd update +++ -> pls scroll down for the AWG21 cable version update! For starters: I always heard differences between digital cables. I know, this is a much-debated subject. Some of you guys don´t think an audible difference would be possible. But I heard them and always stated that in my cable reviews (WireWorld Starlight 8...

This is my review of the Questyle CMA18P that I got sent from Questyle in exchange for an honest review. Well, where to begin? The design! It´s gorgeous. I don´t have to tell you that. When you are holding it in your hands, it is even more obvious that the Questyle team did a wonderful job here. And it is not only beautiful to behold, it is light enough too for portable use and the size is perfect for stacking it with my iPhone 15 (I ordered this one: https://amzn.eu/d/4vPymbW for attaching it on the mobile phone´s back and it works perfectly)...

Today I want to take a closer look at the Calyx K Dac/Amp. I got my unit from the South Korean Calyx-audio company in exchange for an honest review. Maybe I should begin my review with the information that I was a Calyx M DAP user for many years. I most probably wouldn’t have sold my Calyx M units (I had 4 units in the past, two of them modded, but I always came back to the original one). But there was a time when I decided to go the streaming route (Qobuz High-Res) and as the Calyx M was not able to do that, I had to move on. That being said, I...

Hi there, this is my review of the Quloos MUB1 portable DAC/amp amplifier that I did get from QLS in exchange for an honest review. First of all when unboxing the device, it was great to see that all the needed cables as well as adapters were included. No need to spend extra money for additional lightning cables. This is not usual and therefore most welcome. Also a silicon case is included as well as a screen protector. They have clearly done their homework with that accessory! Secondly what I really liked: The design of the MUB1. It has both a...
