    Hiby FC6 - another R-2R USB dongle

    Priced around US$300 with single-ended 3.5mm output. Already placed an order, let see how this stack up against RU6, which is cheaper and also has balanced output. Conclusion: Overpriced, roll-off treble, glitch, so AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. P/S: July 27, 23. New firmware 1.06 finally fixed the...

    I am guessing I might be the first to face this issue but I am running out of the 10000 characters count allowed for the headphone inventory inside the user profile. I still have more earbuds and IEM to fill in so is it possible to increase the characters limit?   Thanks.

    Your opinion: headphone-jack-less smartphone, or not.

    The Craze for Budget Hybrid – A Quick Comparison (Updated: August 10th, 2016)

    ...1MORE is the spin-off of Xiaomi's R&D department and so it shouldn't be too surprising that both really sound very similarly, though not identical (*check out the FR measurement).

    Mook Headphone Festioval 2015 @ Marina Bay Sands Singapore Dec. 11th.

      If you wonder why there ain't that many people in the picture, it is because I was there very early, before the show even started and so many of the booths ain't setup just yet. Though the good news is I got to try whatever that were already setup in a relatively quiet environment.    ...

    VE - A New and Impressive Earbuds Brand

    Prelude: A few weeks ago I was contacted by a mutual 3rd party on whether I will like to give some Chinese made high-Z earbuds a review.
