  1. beyerdynamic Xelento remote

    5.00 star(s)
    It was at CanJam Singapore where i was scouting for a new pair of IEMs , i dove straight into the convention trying all IEMs without asking any about the pricing . This allows for fair judgement of the IEMs , and whichever appeals to me best , i’ll get it . I’m looking for a sound that is energetic , fun and powerful , something that is small and would fit my ears flushed , of course , it has to look ok . So after hours in the hall , the Dita Truth appeals to me . Just as i was about to ask on the pricing on them , Beyerdynamic revealed their “new”...
  2. RHA Dacamp L1

    3.00 star(s)
    Box & Accessories  Packaging were of high quality , cables and instructions were boxed up nicely . Instruction manual were clear and concise , very important for an amplifier this powerful .  There were no pouch or cloth that came along with this unit , which i was expecting it to have .    Overall built quality was pretty solid , it does have a nice weighty feel to it , which i find it a plus , because lightweight dacamps just feels cheap .    Audio Although RHA have sent the review unit to me for demo , Do note that the review is done...
  3. RHA CL750

    2.50 star(s)
    Box & Accessories    Was greeted by a high quality packaging , and the neatly arranged CL750  . Under it was where the documents and accessories were stored .      The quality of the entire packaging felt luxurious , what's included is a 1/4" jack , which has the same stainless steel case as the jacks , a high quality case which was padded and a significant improvement over the previous RHA case . The previous RHA case made of leatherrette peeled at the edges where they were most contacted with . Overall the new pouch looked like it could...

  6. RHA S500i Ultra-Compact In-Ear Headphone

    3.50 star(s)
    Unbiased RHA S500i Review Firstly, I would like to thank RHA for giving me the opportunity to be one of the 6 members from Head-Fi, selected to review their newly produced unit of the S500i. But do note that this will be a very honest review with no bias to the company RHA. Accessories the box comes with the unit itself, 2 pair small, and 2 pair medium and 2 pair large dual density silicone tips including a pair of dual flange tips, all seated nicely in a plastic tray. A black plastic clothing clip and a soft drawstring pouch to store your...

    My last review was the IE800 + iFi iDSD Micro , which i really thought i wouldn't be writing another review of audio products as i sold both of them away due to my enlistment into the Singapore National Service in the Singapore Armed Forces , "Army" as some would call it .  Well , here i am again as i am allowed to bring these into camp !  Alright , after selling the insanely top notch bundle , i decided to settle for something a little affordable which covers my 2 years in this journey here , where i require them to be durable too . Then i...
  8. iFi Audio micro iDSD

    5.00 star(s)
    The iDSD Micro.  Bought at S$699.  Intro  This company, AMR iFi, is remarkable to start with. They have made so many amplifiers and dacs with different functions, size and price points, all to their signature minimalist aluminum block design. All of their products have performance which far exceeds their price point, making every purchase, worth it. iFi did not pay me to review their products, but i do own many of them, and i am very much impressed with every single one of them. I will now proceed with the review.  Box Contents When you...
  9. Sennheiser IE800

    5.00 star(s)
    Bought at (Singapore) S$1140  Audio This in ear is a marvel. I've auditioned quite a number of Balanced armatures and dynamic drivers in ears , and  over time, I’ve come to love most of the dynamic drivers a lot , regardless of brand or price , dynamic drivers always seems to deliver a more organic , believable , full bodied sound . This one is no different either. It outperforms many Balanced Armatures in my opinion.  Its sound, is simply majestic. Bass quality is superb, quantity comfortably amounted, full bodied, believable speed with a...

  11. iFi Audio iTube

    5.00 star(s)
    Having the iDSD Nano & iCAN Nano from them, i was very impressed by the iFi's performance.  Making me trust my money to them, knowing they can provide what they claim it could, and deliver them so beautifully, sonically. First thing i noticed when i held the iTUBE in my hand , i immediately noticed it was significantly lighter than the iDSD Nano and iCAN Nano , which felt pretty weird . Then i realised that the iDSD Nanoand iCAN Nano both have batteries in them, making them denser. In my opinion, the denser ones felt more premium as there's a...

    The iDSD Nano has been really good over the weeks i've owned them , and they seem like they will be good for a very very long time , it's a very premium piece with solid aluminium housing , the build looks very durable .  beautiful sounding . nothing to complain . if you're looking for a portable DAC , i'd suggest you look no further . 
  13. iFi iCan Nano Portable Headphone Amp

    5.00 star(s)
    The iFi iCAN nano has been enjoyed by me for more than 100 hours by now . The battery life of this portable amplifier is so good , i don't remember charging after the first time i've charged it to full , remember , being a portable amplifier , battery life is rather important . i've used it with my monster turbine pro gold & Beyerdynamic T90 . The 3D holographic is simply amazing , majority of amplifiers do not come with switches as such . it gives life to the music you're listening and make the overall listening experience really wonderful . It...

  15. Sony MDR-EX500LP Vertical In-the-Ear Style EX Style Headphones

    3.00 star(s)
      Comfort This here, is and in-ear earpiece and comfort for in-ear earpieces vary from user to user, they tend to give an insecure fit even if placed “well” into the ear canal, the constant feel of it falling off is a huge downside to this pair of earpiece. This flaw affected the performance. Every size of the provided ear buds I tried yield similar results. (Unless triple Flanges are in use) Portability Sony provides a leather travelling case along with it and it does help in storing them neatly. I would not say they are very portable as...
  16. Sony MDR-XB700 50mm XB Diaphragm Driver Extra Bass Headphones

    3.50 star(s)
      Comfort These are the plushest headphones I have ever owned till now and I can say they are really comfortable, one of the most comfortable in the headphone industry till date. It does get a little warm after a while, just a little; this warmth is actually rather common in all circum-aural headphones. The weight of these headphones will be difficult to be noticed the moment one puts it on, the ear pads will “sink in” onto your head and provide a nice secure hold. The ear pads and headband pads are made from synthetic leather (which is more...
