  4.7K viewsNov 2025

  The reviewer tested the DT 1990 Pro MkII alongside the DT 1770 Pro MkII to see if studio headphones can work for home hi-fi. He concludes that while they are excellent studio tools with great detail and bass, their accentuated upper frequencies and analytical nature make them less suited for relaxed home listening, though he recommends them for those who prefer an edgy, detailed sound.

  Grado Signature S950 Review | Brazilian Walnut Headphones – Detail Lovers’ Dream? Too Analytical?

  3.8K viewsOct 2025

  The reviewer finds the Grado Signature S950 headphones to be highly analytical and detail-focused, with a forward, immediate presentation that accentuates the music's core elements. While this makes them ideal for listeners who want to catch every nuance, the sound can be edgy and lacks the balanced, spacious quality of competitors like the Sennheiser HD 650 or HD 800. The reviewer ultimately recommends them for those who prefer an 'accuracy in extremis' approach.

  17K viewsApr 2023

  The reviewer compares the Grado RS1x and GS3000x, finding them to be very different in sound character. The RS1x is noted for its forward, detailed upper mids and impactful bass, but the reviewer finds its midrange a bit too forward and the on-ear fit odd. The GS3000x is praised for its balanced, warm, and powerful sound, which the reviewer prefers, though it may not suit everyone. The RS1x receives a score of 7/10, while the GS3000x gets an 8/10.

  T+A Solitaire P Planar Headphones Review

  7.8K viewsAug 2020

  The reviewer finds the T+A Solitaire P to be a premium, well-built planar headphone with strong bass and good comfort, but notes a lack of control and precision in the midrange, especially in single-ended mode. The balanced cable improves midrange control, but the overall sound remains bass-dominant and lacks the refinement expected at the high price. The reviewer also criticizes the price hike from £4,800 to £5,000 as a poor PR decision.
