    Audio-Technica ATH-AP2000Ti - Impressions Thread

    I am kind of surprised that Audio Technica did not promote AP2000ti well. I bought it without demoing when I found WP900 sounded awesome, which changed my opinion about Audio Technica. They can actually make some nice closed back portable headphone without too much distortion or weak bass. And...

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    Oh, I am sorry. I am in Shenzhen, China for the summer, so the preorders I talked about are all in China. Currently they only manufacture less than one hundred machines per month so I guess the abroad online sale will be after September at least.

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    I went to the local dealer and get some new infomation. The first batch of LPGT was sent at the end of last month. The next batch will be out in the middle or end of this months. But sadly yeah they are all preorders. The demo will be out after September or even later. I think the online sale...

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    I think even now there is only preorder. You need to talk to some dealers personally if you want to order now. I think you need to wait for several months before they sell it over the world.

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    R2R2000 has a decent sound and for the power at least it can driver the hd650 to an acceptable sound when I demoed it. It also supports low power mode with long battery life. The only problem is that don’t trust hifiman’s price control. They gave a deal of the re2000&r2r2000 combo for $2400...

    Hifiman Ananda

    From the offical spec, the sundara is the successor of he560 and he400i. Ananda uses the same generation of diaphram tech as sundara and the other parts should be more like edx v2. The sound is said to have he1000 features. I demoed sundara and edx v2 and i like them both. I am in China and the...

    Lotoo PAW Gold Touch - Touchscreen, 4.4mm Bal, USB DAC, Bluetooth

    lol shenzhen hifi exhibition last weekend. I am interning in Shenzhen this summer. I tried it with my re2000 and they provide adx5000 and ie800s. The pros of LPGT I like is its power to drive some big headphones like adx5000 and the shape of sound. And its so fast compared to all other touch...

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Sundara looks like a big step up from He400i. The design, build quality and also the technology. 20% thickness of diaphragm is certainly huge improvement. BUT the price is also a big step up. He400i is normally $200 now while sundara will be $500. This reminds me of the new HD660S. Also new...

    Look for a smallish amp for HD800 S under $1000

    True. It’s really difficult to find one under $1000 since v280 is not a really popular model and too new. There are a lot of v281 on the market, but it is big and expensive with some useless functions. I got my v280 of $1200 which is a demo unit but with full warranty from violectric USA...

    Look for a smallish amp for HD800 S under $1000

    You can try to get one used violectric v280 which has balanced output and small enough compared to other amps in the same price range

    VSONIC GR09

    Just got my Gr09 black ceramic version. For some reasons it took two weeks for shipment from China to US. I have tried mojo, fiio x7&am2a, and iPhone 7. I think it will certainly be a new benchmark on around $300 after mass production. iPhone 7 is not enough to drive it but the sound is still...

    VSONIC GR09

    Just got the news the electroplated version of gr09 will start preorder next month. It should be the version for mass production. Not yet know if it is plastic or ceramic. The company said the sound keeps the same and price is still around $280. Because of the reduction of manufacture cost, they...

    VSONIC GR09

    Actually it is almost impossible to have same sound with plastic housing as the sound with ceramic housing. Housing is as important as the driver for such top rank sound IEMs. Vsonic do claim that they will manufacture plastic version of gr09 with the same price as ceramic housing gr09 now...

    VSONIC GR09

    Not really. I was deciding between gr07x and ex1000. Since gr07x is cheaper and everyone was saying it is better than ex1000 I bought gr07x. Another big reason is its horrible isolation. I already has fx850 with horrible isolation and feel its usage is so limited. So while there was a similar...
