How much does that whole setup cost? I imagine it's getting up there..

Ultimate Ears UE10C

That'd be UE10 Pro, and if those end up on the 'A' list, I'd be interested to see if the UE5c's get dropped to 'B' status. Anyway, Stereophile's coverage of headphone audio has always been pretty shallow... perhaps we can help change that at the National Meet.

I'm surprised people are so critical of the list - I agree with Norbert that Stereophile is largely a speaker mag. Also for any of the gear categories they list, all they can do is rate and recommend what they've actually reviewed. So I guess I'm less critical of them being less than complete or their ranking orders being somewhat crude.

Having said that, I think it's a fine list. All the cans they recommend are great entry points for non-headphone audiophiles to get into headphones.

Where they put the V6 will be interesting.

Best,
