Head Gear Reviews by Tom22
  1. Advanced Sound Model 3

    4.00 star(s)
    Above is my video review of the earphones, including how they are worn: Like, Subscribe and Comment!   I know what most are probably thinking… They look a lot like a the Shure SE215. In many ways they are! I’d like to think of them as a Bluetooth Se215, which can be very desirable in today’s “headphone-jackless” world (I’m looking at you, IPhone 7).  However, they also come with the standard “wired” cable, that we are all familiar with. As you probably guessed, the Model 3 has detachable cables (catering to both the “old school” wired and the...
  2. Fiil Diva Bluetooth, Noise Cancelling Headphones

    4.00 star(s)
    The Fiil Diva headphone is probably one of the most intuitive headphones south of $200.  They have features that make them almost 3-4 headphones in one, currently they can be had for about $129 on Kickstarter before their official release, and will retail for $149.   I want to thank Fiil for sending me a prototype model of the Diva before the official release (I would imagine that the official version would have English voice prompts) Currently, the version I have only has Mandarin and Cantonese voice prompt in the PIIL smartphone app or the...
  3. Sennheiser MOMENTUM In-Ear

    4.00 star(s)
    The Momentum Series was a collection of lifestyle audio products aimed towards the marriage between style and sound. Since the release the Over Ear Momentums, this collection quickly gained a large following. Fast forward to late 2015-2016, Sennheiser has both updated the both the Over and On Ears.  However, it’s the affordable In Ear Momentums that has received wide praises from the average consumer, with its more affordable price between $70-129 USD/CAD and great sound.  Let’s see if the praise is well deserved! Disclaimer- Before we start this...
  4. ZealSound HDE-300 In-ear Noise-isolating Genuine Wood Headphones with Mic, Fiber Cable -Black

    2.50 star(s)
    Its refreshing to see companies join the “Green” Movement and assist in making their products more environmentally friendly. Zealsound is an example of this, with recycled packaging, fabric carrying pouch and wooden earpieces. “Going Green” is a bold statement and Zealsound HDE-300 stays bold by packing 8.5mm dynamic drivers to give big bass to the environmentally conscious consumer. Before I begin I would like to thank Zealsound for sending them in for review. As with all my previous reviews, I will evaluate the earphones/headphones based...
  5. Dunu TITAN 3

    4.50 star(s)
    Keeping the Nano-titanium drivers, Dunu intends to pack all the “Titan-Goodness” into a better isolating package, with the Titan 3 and Titan 5. Despite the grand response the Titan 1 garnered, a common complaint is the lack of isolation in its semi-vented/open nature.  Dunu has taken criticisms to heart and went back to the drawing board to address common issues from the Titan 1. Lets find out how they did!        Below I have included a video review to supplement my written portion, I will also include a link to my Dunu Titan 1, and 5 review...

    Keeping the Nano-titanium drivers, Dunu intends to pack all the “Titan-Goodness” into a better isolating package, with the Titan 3 and Titan 5. Despite the grand response the Titan 1 garnered, a common complaint is the lack of isolation in its semi-vented/open nature. Dunu has taken criticisms to heart and went back to the drawing board to address that issue as well as various others that had surfaced since. Lets find out how they did!

  7. Nuforce NE800M

    4.00 star(s)
    Optoma Technology had recently acquired Nuforce, and since then the company had been fairly quiet in the portable audio world. With the releases of the flagship, Primo 8 ($500) and the Ne800 ($150) and the NE750s ($99) headlining their earphone selection. The middle product, the NE800M utilize a body composed of a combination of a rigid carbon fibre shell with a solid brass nozzle housing a 8.6mm titanium coated driver inside. Let’s explore what resulted from this marriage between Nuforce and Optoma. Disclaimer- I would like to thank...
  8. Fischer Audio Omega Ace

    4.00 star(s)
    As the most affordable offering from Omega Series, I think the (USD$49) Ace has a lot offer, combining big bass punch with a smooth midrange and a friendly treble that will work well in the gym and at home. Making traveling easier, the Aces also have a remote and mic for smartphone call and media controls.   Before we begin, I want to thank Royston from Fischer Audio for sending out the Ace, Sparks and Twins for review (you can see their reviews here) Sparks Review:http://www.head-fi.org/products/fischer-audio-omega-spark/reviews/14871   Twins...
  9. Fischer Audio Omega Spark

    3.50 star(s)
    Price would indicate the Sparks as the middle offering in the Omega series ($59 USD) However, Fischer Audio intended to tackle a different demographic with the Spark those that have trouble fitting earphones in the past, including young adults and women alike. To combat this task, Fischer Audio set out to make one of the most compact and miniscule earphones on the market, while adding remote and mic for smartphone users.   Before we begin, I want to thank Royston from Fischer Audio for sending out the Ace, Sparks and Twins for review (you can see...
  10. Fischer Audio Omega Twin

    4.00 star(s)
    The Twins is the top offering from the Omega Series ($79 USD), “the one-solution companion for your entire day” “giving you a fantastic experience be it commuting, casual listening or hitting the fitness arena”, further aided with a 1 button remote for smartphone users.   The Twins claim to be the “choice for those that demand only the best” when working and working out. This is quite a bold statement from a USD $79 product. Lets see how they hold up!   Before we begin, I want to thank Royston from Fischer Audio for sending out the Ace, Sparks...
  11. Brainwavz S3

    3.00 star(s)
    Brainwavz’s introduces the S3 to complement their popular S1,S0 and S5, varying in bass, but were all warm  and punchy, making them a favorite amongst those on a budget. The S3 is a departure away from the warm, bassy sound the S-series is known for, taking aim towards those departing from the “consumer sound signature”.  In doing so, they bring a greater diversity to the average consumer, while remaining in the sub $100 price bracket. (Very recently the S3s has been on sale for under $50, which is a steal considering the bundled accessories and...
  12. Brainwavz Jive

    4.00 star(s)
    Brainwavz Jives is a great example of great value at a low price, that I believe I will garner interests from both the average consumer and the budget minded head-fier.  It’ll get your “jiving” on your way to work and around town and back. Here are a few reasons that make the Jive’s intriguing: It’s very affordable at under $30 Easy, Shallow fit (short nozzle, ideal to be worn the traditional cable down method) smartphone compatible controls (both iOS and Android) (with volume up, down, play, pause, rewind and the A rather balanced suprisingly...
  13. AUSDOM M06 Over-ear Stereo Bluetooth Headphones Wireless + Wired Headsets/headphones with Microphone for Music Streaming and Hands-free Calling

    3.50 star(s)
    Ausdom wouldn’t be the first company that would come into my mind when I’m looking for a Bluetooth headphone.  However, lets put it out there that Ausdom has been in the Bluetooth business for quite a while now, and it was just a matter of time until they finally churned out a pair of headphones.   Enter the M06, Ausdom’s answer to bringing Bluetooth connectivity to the larger general public.  One of the attractive aspects is the fact that its on sale now for $30 , which is very affordable for a full size headphone, period. However, The M06 is...
  14. Ausdom M04S-B Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Smartphone, Tablet, PC, Mac and Laptop - Retail Packaging - Black

    3.50 star(s)
    The last several years, companies have been taking notice that more and more of their consumers have an affinity for wireless technology.  From Wifi, to wireless data, and now wireless/bluetooth headphones!   Getting rid of the cable has never felt so liberating. However, often times these are features are only found in $100 or several hundred dollar headphones.   Enter Ausdom, a company that’s specializes in making affordable Bluetooth accessories, stationed in Shenzhen, China.   Needless to say many head-fiers myself included, experienced a...
  15. Mixcder® Drip Wireless Bluetooth Heaphones

    2.50 star(s)
    I’m as surprised as many of you readers are to hear of the brand “Mixcder”, as well as the name of the headphones.  The company prides itself in making audio products aimed at appealing to the  younger audience. The Drip’s are a prime example of that, being an affordable ($39.99), fashion, Bluetooth enabled headphone. Its price and features certainly intrigue me (and  but is the parts greater then the sum in this case?    *disclaimer- I would like to thank Grace for sending them out for review. And likewise to all my reviews in the past, I will...
  16. Axgio Sprint Sound Isolating Sport Stereo Bluetooth 4.1 Headphone

    4.50 star(s)
    In the past the gym tends to be the graveyard for many of my earphones. Its usually due to the cable being tugged, getting snagged onto gym equipments or the headphone jack getting bent in all kinds of different directions.   Needless to say, I would like to have more freedom with my movements in the gym, and not worry about my yanking earphones or my smartphone on the treadmill (and falling to its death)  =(   So to my surprise, the Axgio Sprints has become my faithful companion when I’m out for run, pumping some iron in the gym or at my local...
  17. VSONIC VSD5: Sony EX 1000's Adopted Cousin

    4.00 star(s)
    The VSD5 is the next earphone to follow up on the successful release of the very popular VSD3/VSD3s. From afar the VSD5 looks eerily similar with their older/younger brother, the VSD3/VSD3s. However, once you put them into your ears, you will quickly figure out that the VSD5 is a different animal in its own right. Lets find out what that means! If you would rather watch my review be sure to click on the link below, and if you found the review to be helpful, Like& subscribe and share the video! Accessories: The VSD5 comes with: 4 Pairs of...
  18. RHA T10i

    3.00 star(s)
    About a year back RHA unveiled what would be their flagship earphone the T10/ T10i, with a retail price of about $189-199. The overall design and the material that went in manufacturing these earphones certainly made headlines in the audio world. (Injection molded stainless steel housing) A year later RHA has released a successor to the T10 in the form of the T20 as their latest flagship, both of which I reviewed in the following link (both in video and written form) below   Lets see how the T10 fairs after the hype and the attention has settled...
  19. RHA T20

    4.50 star(s)
    What do you think of when you hear: injection moulded stainless steel housing, dual coil drivers, interchangeable tuning filters, and a 3 year warranty. The RHA T20 is the probably the only earphone with this mix of characteristics.   At first glance, the T20 appear awfully similar to its sibling the T10.  I thought the same way when I finally saw pictures of them, there seems to be very little differences, aesthetically anyway.   However, it seems that RHA had been listening to the feedback  they received from the T10 and upped the ante with the...
  20. Alpha & Delta AD01

    4.50 star(s)
    The Alpha & Delta AD01 is the prized first entry of popular reseller, Lendme Ur Ears. They decided to take a stab at the portable audio market, in particularly at the rather crowded $100 price point. It’s certainly a rather ambitious goal. Lets see if they have succeeded in making a splash in the seemingly ever-changing audio scene. Before I begin I want to thank Teo as well as Lendme Ur Ears for sending me a review sample.
