how does the Pocket Reference II and a PPA compare?

What made you decide to use the Beyers instead of the Shures or some Etys or something? |

I may add also that since the Tomahawk has been released none has fully matured yet. 120 hours on the Tomahawk against over 400 + hours on the Hornet "M" won't be a fare comparison IMHO as both have 15000mf cap. Give the Tomahawk a little more time. I truely enjoyed your write-up. Thanks. Ray Samuels |
