Status Pro X GoldenSound Edition True Wireless Earbuds: Worth the Price Increase?

 

Status Pro X GoldenSound Review!

I was already a fan of the Status Pro X true wireless earbuds, and this collaboration with GoldenSound (another headphone and DAC reviewer) definitely piqued my interest. It’s the same triple driver hardware I already loved, but will this new tuning convince folks to spend more on a pair of earbuds?

Let’s chat!

HUGE Sound with a Bigger Battery! Questyle M18i Max Bluetooth DAC Review!

 

Questyle M18i Max Review! It's amazing what a little portable DAC can do. We can get a HUGE sound out of a little pocket gadget, and that's even better when it comes with more battery!

Fosi Audio MD3 MagDAC Review: The FUN Magnetic Headphone DAC!

 

Fosi Audio MD3 review!

There are some GREAT portable DACs we can use to drive our headphones and earbuds better. On top of outright audio quality though, it's nice to see some fun lifestyle features. Fosi Audio is boasting premium audio quality, with some nifty new bits that might make this a DAC more mainstream!

It sounds good, AND it's really cute!

Audeze MM-520 Pro Headphones: What does $1700 Sound Like?

Audeze MM-520 Review!

Reviewing a $1700 headphone is a funny thing. Audeze focuses this product on recording and mixing work, but there's also an idea of something like this being used for entertainment too. Grading ideas like "value" and "quality" are tricky when we're climbing to higher and higher prices. 

Still, this is an interesting turn for the brand, and an adjustment over the MM-500 that is worth talking about.

Cabled Audio Never Went Away: Hidizs ST2 Pro USB-C Earbuds

 

I'm a little late to reviewing the ST2 Pro, but listening to a cabled earbud with a built in USB DAC, I think it's important to remind people that cabled audio is in a really healthy place. Techies keep proclaiming Bluetooth earbuds the "winner", but the market for cabled headphones is still enormous.

Can we move more consumers up to nicer audio experiences?

Meze 99 Classics V2 vs 99 Neo (and the 105 Silva) FANCY HEADPHONE SHOWDOWN!

 Meze 99 Classics V2 Review!

Meze has a HUGE reputation for making beautiful headphones, which are incredibly comfortable, and sound great. I have to admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of the original 99 Classics.

Now refreshing the Classic line, Meze is claiming that the 99 V2 has a more neutral sound. Let's see if they can thread that needle. Can they make "mids junkies" like me happy, without alienating fans of the original 99's?
