10:14The reviewer bought the Final E4000 in Hong Kong, initially intending to use its cable for another pair but ended up adopting it as a daily driver. They find it has more bass than the E5000, which helps on trains, though it lacks the balanced sound of the E5000. Overall, they are happy with the purchase.

10:19The reviewer praises the Stax SR-L300 for its excellent sound quality, particularly its direct treble and vocal presentation, which he prefers over the Sennheiser HD 800. However, he criticizes the build quality as cheap and plasticky, and notes comfort issues with the stock pads. He considers it a great value for around $1000, but is selling his unit because his listening habits have shifted away from desktop setups.

10:30The reviewer finds the ATH-R70x to be a highly balanced, natural-sounding open-back headphone that serves as a new reference for neutrality, though it requires a dedicated amplifier due to its high impedance. It is praised for its comfort and clean, detailed sound, but it lacks the characteristic Audio Technica forward female vocal tuning, making it a departure from the brand's typical sound. The reviewer considers it one of their favorite full-sized headphones, though the AKG K712 edges it out in technical performance.

22:46The reviewer provides a detailed second impressions review of the Audio-Technica ATH-M70X, correcting an earlier flawed first impression caused by a poor seal with glasses. They find the M70X to be a comfortable, well-isolating headphone with a durable build, though they note some finishing flaws and a V-shaped sound signature that is more balanced than the M50X but with extra treble energy. Overall, they see it as a solid but expensive option with specific quirks.

12:31The reviewer finds the AKG K712 Pro to be an excellent all-rounder for everyday listening, combining the comfort and musicality of the Sony MA900 with the technical detail of the AKG K612 Pro. It excels in vocal reproduction with a detailed yet non-fatiguing treble, and while it requires an amplifier and has a slightly plasticky build, it becomes the reviewer's top recommendation for a versatile home headphone, especially at a discounted price.

7:52The reviewer finds the ATH-AD700X to be a well-built, comfortable open-back headphone with a bright, airy sound that excels with vocals and strings, though bass is underemphasized and treble can be fatiguing. It's a strong value at its price point, recommended for those seeking a vibrant, open sound, but the reviewer notes the pricier AD1000X offers better technical performance.

10:36The reviewer finds the Sennheiser HD25 to be a durable, lightweight, and sonically impressive headphone with excellent bass clarity and a lively sound, though comfort is limited for long sessions due to high clamping pressure. It is praised for its professional build and replaceable parts, making it a strong choice for portable and DJ use, despite some rough plastic finishing and a stiff cable.

6:18The reviewer finds the AKG K550 headphones technically impressive with excellent build quality and a clean, spacious sound that resembles open-back models, but notes they have a lean, dry signature with a treble peak and are sensitive to fit, making them hard to recommend universally. Comfort is good initially but the thin headband padding causes soreness over long sessions, and the large ear-cups may not seal well for all users.

7:45The reviewer finds the AD900X to be a well-built, comfortable open headphone with excellent clarity, airy treble, and a wide soundstage, particularly suited for female vocals and strings. However, it lacks bass authority, has a smeared presentation on fast music, and can cause ear fatigue with aggressive recordings, leading the reviewer to prefer the Sony MA900 overall.
