  AKG K361 vs K371 Sound Review

  62.4K viewsDec 2019

  The reviewer compares the AKG K361 to the K371, finding the K361 to be an excellent value at $99 with very good bass and treble, though the midrange is slightly less warm and the soundstage is narrower with less precise imaging. Despite minor frequency response quirks and a less common locking cable connector, the reviewer strongly recommends it as one of the best closed-back headphones under $100.

  ZMF Eikon and Atticus Review - Premium Handcrafted Lushness

  27K viewsOct 2017

  The reviewer finds the ZMF Eikon to be a premium, handcrafted closed-back headphone with excellent build quality and accessories. Sonically, it offers a warm, impactful bass, forward and detailed mids, and a slightly bright treble, making it a reference-oriented headphone that excels with well-recorded music. The standout feature is its exceptional imaging and soundstage for a closed-back, though it is heavy and has a minor design quirk with freely rotating cups.

  46.5K viewsAug 2017

  The reviewer finds the AKG K812 to be a disappointing flagship, with a bright and harsh treble that lacks resolution, and a midrange that is not warm. While the bass extends well and the comfort and imaging are good, the overall sound quality does not justify the high price, and the reviewer suggests cheaper AKG models like the K712 are better choices.

  Audeze SINE Review - An on-ear can do this?

  22.2K viewsApr 2017

  The reviewer is highly impressed with the Audeze Sine, calling it a remarkable on-ear planar magnetic headphone that sounds far more like a full-size closed-back than its size suggests. He praises its accurate, neutral sound signature, excellent bass extension, and solid build, though he notes comfort issues for larger ears and a limited soundstage. He strongly recommends it for anyone seeking a high-end on-ear, especially with the optional Cipher cable.

  100K viewsApr 2017

  The reviewer finds the AKG K712 Pro to be a unique and exciting open-back headphone with excellent bass extension and a wide soundstage, though its midrange tuning is noticeably colored and the treble has some peaks. He considers it a great value at its current price, especially as a complement to more neutral headphones like the Sennheiser HD 600, and notes that EQ can fix most of its tuning quirks.

  beyerdynamic Amiron Home Review

  26.4K viewsFeb 2017

  The reviewer finds the Beyerdynamic Amiron Home to have excellent build quality and comfort, but is disappointed by the sound. The bass is lean and ill-defined, and the treble is excessively bright with sharp peaks that require significant EQ correction. While the midrange is warm and the soundstage is good, the overall detail and tuning do not justify the high price, especially when compared to cheaper alternatives like the HD600/HD650.

  116.8K viewsJan 2016

  The reviewer finds the ATH-M50x to be a well-built and durable headphone, but criticizes its comfort for long sessions and its sound signature, which he describes as colored, lumpy, and V-shaped rather than flat or neutral. He notes that while it EQ's well, its narrow soundstage and mid-bass bloat are significant drawbacks, and he concludes that there are better options available for the price.
