    4.50 star(s)
    Audiofly, a brand well known for its precisely tuned BA based earphones might not be making a lot of wave in the market but those who know know that what is does is rarely found in the market.

They very recently brought out all their earphones with a revised tuning with MK2 prefix to the names. The subordinate to their latest AF1120 mk2 is the AF180 mk2. Housing 4BA drivers per side the AF180 was their flagship a couple of years ago...

  4. Penon OS849

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro:- When one buys an earphone, one always tries to enhance that by changing various things. One always looks for different things to get the best out of the earphone. We burn the earphones for hours to get some enhancements and trying various tips is the most basic of the things. What we forget most of the time is the cable. Nearly 99.9% earphones don't come with balanced cables. And most of those single ended cables are just run of the mill type basic cable. Those cables are just there for the sake of it. Even some premium brands like Custom...

  7. DB Monroe Pro

    4.50 star(s)
    INTRO:- Debauche Bacchus or DB in short is one of the newest brands in the market. Targeting the mass consumer they have only one model in their artillery which has two versions. The DB Monroe V1 and V2 or say the Pro version. Both the models have exactly similar internals body and accessories, the only way to tell them apart is the Pro written on the package. I believe the difference is with the Tuning of the Drivers. Yes, drivers, it has two Dynamic drivers, the first one is an ultra thin 10mm grapheme dynamic driver, and the thin profile...

Let it be your T.V., gaming console, wired speaker or your headphone and earphones, everything can be turned into an audio device.
