I don't think these new Linkbuds S are getting the attention they deserve! :xf_cool: I took a gamble on a pair of these, doing something I rarely do especially on Sony gear... I paid full retail! My reasoning was pretty simple, all the reviews I read or watched showed a microphone that was...

I see Sony is releasing a new version on the bluetooth H.ear headphone WH-H910N. I am intrigued. It is obviously meant to be below the MDR-1000XM3 but this does have to mean it will be bad. The use of a 25mm driver intrigues me. Could this driver change bring a more balanced signature? The only...

Just picked up a pair of WI-1000X and don't see any thread for them. So here we go :). For those interesting here is a link to Sony Canada for them. I will be writing a full review in the next week or two but in the meantime here are some first impressions and thoughts on this IEM. OK, been...

Noticed that the only good thread for this headphone resided in the Sponsors Announcements and Deals Forum. These deserve a thread here in the full-size headphone forum so I am starting this one. For transparency sake. I contacted Sennheiser a couple months ago to see if I might be able to...

Here​ is their Kickstarter web page. For the price I think I am going to try a pair of them and might buy 2, one lightning model and one regular model.   https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2128976526/linner-your-first-time-anc-headphonesnow-and-for-a?UA-82804157-1   ​

I bought a pair of 100ABN headphones that sound great except for wind noise through the mic holes and the bass port. I have found some foam to fill in bass port which helps a bit and if I taoe the mic holes that works as well. Unfortunately the tape impairs the microphones efficiency. So I have...

I noticed 2 new KEF headphones at a local Visions Electronics store here in Canada and tried to find some reviews on them. Sadly both models have almost no information on the internet and only 1 review of the M400 on ear headphone. The M100 is pretty much unknown. So in a moment of weakness and...

I saw that Bose finally released a passive isolation IEM called the TrueSound Ultra that looked to incorporate their comfy design with a small isolating shell. So I swung by the store tonight to have a quick listen. Now keep in mind this is just a quick impression not a review. I flipped between...

I noticed a new thread in the Sponsorship Announcements and Deal thread by Telos Accoustics and like others I posted my interest in trying out their Kickstart IEM called the Fujisan. Shortly there after I was contacted by Telos and asked if I would like to test one of the test samples which I...

RHA is in the process of releasing a new IEM called the T20 and has started to send out review samples and tours. So I thought it would a good idea to have a new thread dedicated to impressions, reviews, and questions.   For those wondering what I am talking about here is a picture of the...

AKG K545 K550’s little brother isn’t so little! First off I want to give a huge thanks to RazerDog Audio! I inquired about buying the K545 and they were kind enough to contact AKG about my interest in reviewing this headphone, they are a class act and great example of Online retailing done...

I was in the store the other day and noticed a brand new product from a manufacturer most of us at Head-fi write off. When I saw the price tag of this product I was immediately sceptical and wrote it off as well. But out of curiosity I went into a Bose outlet today and demo'd the new QC20 their...

I think KEF represents a new face in the portable headphone/IEM market that deserves some appreciation. In light of this I thought I would start up this thread.   Here are the existing threads, reviews, and information:   M200 KEF...

I was in a local Sony store (Chinook Center in Calgary) and they had the Sony EX310 on sale for $40 so I finally bit on this IEM for use at the gym so i don't accidentally wreck my expensive IEM's. The salesman actually sounded reasonably knowledgeable and he suggested the half price on the...

I picked up a pair of these from Visions Electronics in Canada for $48 (Sale until Sunday) and see them for sale on Monster's website for $49 and at that price they are a steal in my opinion.   I have seen comments that they look like the Tributes and that was my initial thought as well...

Thought I would start a thread for these two new babies to the market.   AH-C400 Music Maniac     AH-C300 Urban Raver   I am most interested in the Maniac model my self but the Raver has some very cool features (if it just wasn't described as bone jarring!!!). Anyway, have at...

Saw these in my local Walmart for $69 and thought, Why not give them a try since Walmart has such an easy return policy. So got them to the car and as opened the box I was reminded how much I liked Monster's packaging. The box Was extremely well made, as I thought why don't they just put all...

I decided to pick up a pair of the new KOSS IL200 yesterday since the store (London Drugs in canada) I bought them at has a no hassle return in case I don't like them.   This is a brand new product from KOSS that has no reviews out as of yet. Here is a stock picture of how they interlock...

I recently bought a pair of SRH-940 and was impressed with their sound enough that when I was givent the opportunity to review the SRH-1840 I jumped at the chance, even though I was not in the position to buy the flagship Shure headphone. But the differences between the 940 and 1840 was enough I...

The JVC FX3X doesn't seem to have much information available as of yet, so when I saw a local store carrying them I decided to pick them up and post some impressions and a review.   I was bored waiting for some gear to arrive so decided to take one for the team (sort of since I can return...

I recently bought a pair of ACS silicone tips for my Hf3 iEM's and they are definitely more comfortable than the tri-flange tips but I have some concerns and want to make sure it's just me or whether I need to contact ACS. The initial thing is I notice them all the time while in ear and they...

After some of the honeymoon has worn off and I am having a bit of a hangover. Sonically I am still very much in love with the sound of these but my ears are not used to DEEP INSERTION! and I am not enamored with the bone conduction and cable noises I am getting from these. The chin strap is...

Ok so I was jonesing to buy something during the Black Friday madness but between not seeing anything I really wanted and not being able to afford or get what I did want (darn Amazon and it's Canadian unfriendly attitude!!). So I was walking through Futureshop today and saw a headphone that...

OK I just recieved a reviewers pair of the new Brainwavz HM3 Headphones. I have been asked to not post pictures of these so I suspect there may be minor cosmetic changes from my set as compared to what will ultimately be released. But here are some picures posted by Brainwavz themselves...

I currently own 4 $80-100 IEM's, Denon AH-C560R (yes I have already reviewed this pair but will at least to A/B/C analysis along with the rest of the IEM's), Sonocore COA-805, Shure SE215, Bose IE2 (yes actual Bose! but HEY they fit a specific environmental issue I occasionally have), with a 5th...
