I used to consider Headroom as a good source for headphone reviews (as well as head-fi ... I find multiple sources of information
). I've noticed that ALL IEMs are getting very good reviews from headroom (4 or 5/5 except shure E5c [3.5]). How is that every IEM made, from $69 - $999, all represent excellent value? I don't think its accurate. Compare this to headphone reviews where the value rating will often be less than 4. Is it just because there's more headphones to comapre against, creating an "expanded" value range for headphones? I don't think that's the case...
I personally think that Headroom pushes trends or new products more than they should... Remember the AKG K26P 5/5 rating? I realize they're a business and have to make money, but I've seen a lot of references to Headroom reviews and wonder if that trust is well placed anymore.
