Never thought I’d get my hands on a pair of the Apple Airpods Max due to its shortage during its launch. It looks quite funky in pictures but I would say it looks even more so in person. Is this the GOAT of all wireless noise-cancellers? Well, how do we even define that in the […]
Closed-back headphones
Reclaiming the throne? | Bose QC45 Review
The noise-canceling headphone industry will not be where it is without Bose. Starting off with the QC3 in 2006, Bose has pioneered the innovation with succeeding releases that no other audio company does as well as they do, at least initially. In the past decade or so, offerings from Sony, Sennheiser, and more recently Apple, […]
Cheap Noise-Canceler – Sennheiser HD450 BT Review
Noise-canceling headphones have always been expensive. They probably should be. Aside from the tech to cancel out noise, they’re usually also feature-rich while still being housed in a compact form factor. But what if you strip it down to the basics while still allowing it to sound good? That’s exactly the Sennheiser HD450 BT noise-canceling […]

Today, we are […]
Delightfully Bassy – Meze 99 Classics Review
Back in the day, overly bassy headphones are considered to be a travesty to the hobby. Of course, there are some who like it but as a whole, this type of headphone gets easily snubbed and remarked “not for me” by purists. Fast forward to now, things have changed quite a bit and headphones like […]
Best Sounding Wireless Headphone? Drop THX Panda Review
The demand for wireless headphones has been at its peak thanks to the painful death of headphone jacks in smartphones. It honestly won’t surprise me if laptops and desktop computers would soon yank it out as well. 🙄 Superb sound quality is rarely the selling point for these types but the Drop THX Panda headphone […]
Exotic and Extravagant: B&W P5 S2 Review
Small on-ear headphones have a weird place in this hobby. They are extraordinarily small, heavily marketed for casual use, but tend to be expensive for the sound they provide making them almost a non-option for most headphone enthusiasts. The Bowers and Wilkins P5 S2 is one of them and in this review, we’ll determine if […]
