Get HYPED for Vision Ears' NEW FLAGSHIP releases!
Mm…erlkonig silver body is a bit on the heavy side but it does not bother me a bit although you could feel it all the time. The diminutive ie900, on the other hand, weighs close to nothing. I easily forget that I m wearing it.- raypin

Get HYPED for Vision Ears' NEW FLAGSHIP releases!
Mm…as an owner of the Erlkonig, I am curious about the Phonix. Is it truly a successor? The marketing material says it is similar to setting 2 of the erlkonig which is my preferred setting (2nd favorite is 3). Curious about the supertweeter and first impressions.- raypin

Introducing the Astell&Kern A&ultima SP2000T
Mm...good. Looking forward to impressions. Will it be an improvement or something else (like a sidegrade of the 2000)? I love my SP 2000 cu and a HUGE fan of Astell (beginning with AK 240, 380, 380 cu with cu amp, to sp2kcu) but if this is better.......- raypin

ABYSS Top Of The Line videos
Mm…help people find it. What got me into the hobby was self-discovery. I was waiting for a film to start and had time to spare when I passed by a Grado store that was adjacent to the theater. Knowing next to nothing about headphones, I got curious and went in. The staff was helpful and asked me...- raypin

The launch of our newest flagship - 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧
Mm…obviously a statement product meant for the money is no object crowd. But let us ease off the criticism considering that Effects Audio sells inexpensive and mid-priced earphone cables as well. They cater to different budgets. Live and let live.- raypin

Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk
Mm…still treating me mighty fine. Thank you for asking. Everything is nominal. Tubes still going strong. Biggest issue right now is Sennheiser’s consumer headphone division being sold. I wonder who is going to handle the servicing/supply of consummables (tubes, pads) for the HE 1 with the change...- raypin

Works well with the sp2k cu 2.5 mm and sony dmp z1 4.4 mm. Only eartip that works for me is the large foamie. The large silicone does...- raypin

AirPods Max
mm...per Apple support, APM will go to low power mode after 5 minutes sans the case. Eventually, it will go to ultra low power mode. The reason for the time that it remains in low power mode and ultra low power mode is to give owners as much time allowance to optionally use Find My function in...- raypin

AirPods Max
Mm....yup dont knock it until you've auditioned it. MAX is not a "serious" headphone so comparisons to open back or closed back headphone seems far off. It should be compared with other wireless headphones. I see this as a casual headphone suitable for use in noisy, crowded places or office...- raypin
