Tyll is the dude.

Tyll,

Thank you for being you. You are one of the very very few truly objective reviewers in this industry. You are on the buyers' side...our side.

Have a fun ride. We will miss you.

Yeah, english isn't my native tongue but I would rather say that "he has been helpful" instead of "was helpful" coz the man isn't quite dead yet and it'll take a few lives to read innerfidelity in full, digest it and then understand it all completely huh(damping factor yada yada ^^).

Quite dead yet lol,sometimes I think be great to retire but it's wishing my life away

Good Luck to you Sir! Your reviews have always been graced with a detailed perspective, a positive attitude, and a touch of Hawaiian Pizzazz. You will be missed as people like you don't come around often. Cheers, and happy trails . . .

Really happy for Tyll, he set a great example for all of us. The only thing that hurts is, with him leaving, the now obvious lack of competent critics in the headphone hi-fi industry.

Also i really hope he got away with a decent swag.

Thank you and happy travels, mr. Tyll Hertsens!

I remember looking at all those high end Headroom headphone amplifiers...thinking one day I will own these babies. Never thought the headphone scene would be so crazy as it is now.

Next video: a shoot out for the best amp/dac/headphone combo within the limited space of a tiny home...?

Have a great retirement Tyll. I'm late to party and didn't know you personally but I can recognize your influence and enjoyed many of your reviews...

In some strange way I have always been intuitively drawn to what Jude described as your "crazy streak" Tyll! Although I probably would have described it as an obsessive passion for truth, detail, authenticity, and integrity! A passion which for me is completely connected to your ultimate decision to "live lightly," build "Putt" and hit the road! I shall miss the prospect of no more Montana bike travelogues - as a fellow rider - as much as any Headphone reviews. Be safe, enjoy the journey mate, and title your first book "Zen and the Art of Putt Maintenance"!

I keep thinking the past week was a dream.

I must be dreaming...

Hi Tyll,
hope you have a happy retirement, you've more than earned it

Thank you, Tyll, for enlightening me about the existence of better-sounding headphones than what I had usually come across before. I hope the rest of your life goes well.

And right now, I am semi-retired from the headphone game, only keeping a few pairs.

 

[Imusicman]

Just a quick message to say have a great well deserved retirement. It sure is great to follow your dreams

And finally a thank you for all your brilliant reviews. They sure did help guide me, a relative newbie in making some excellent headphone choices over the last couple of years or so.........Focal Classics, Oppo PM-1 & PM-3, Focal Elear, Utopia, AFC, Bose QC35, to name but a few

Happy Retirement

 

[RCBinTN]

Kind of ironic, these two simultaneous retirements - the same week - I learned so much from both these guys...
Tyll - you know him. He taught us so much!
Peter King - SI and MMQB columnist for 25+ years - the go-to guy for NFL football.

Both retiring on Their Terms!
Well done, mates -

It's one of these moments when you realize that years go by and working is not the only thing in this life. As a maturing father approaching middle age I thank you for everything you have done for this hobby. Enjoy the road and I hope I bump into you in one of the meets.
