I’ve always been lukewarm about studio headphones, for one because I don’t do studio work hence I don’t need most of the features that come with it. Another reason is all of the ones that I’ve had experience with, just don’t sound good by default. Today’s headphones, the Sennheiser HD400 Pro kinda changes that experience […]

Hifiman Arya V2 (Non-Stealth) Review
The Hifiman Arya is arguably one of the most-loved headphones in the sub $2,000 range which is saying something considering the headphone has been out since 2018 and have even gone a couple of minor revisions. I had to pleasure to keep these headphones for more than 3 months which afforded me to produce an […]
Budget Studio Cans – Samson SR850 Review
Budget studio headphones have always been in abundance whether you have your eyes set on mainstream brands or you’re looking for that obscure find that only a few can recognize. The SR850 from Samson isn’t the most popular model when it comes to studio headphones but ask about it in your favorite headphone forum, and […]
The Wonderful Grado RS1i Review
Grado headphones are unique in that most audiophiles have probably owned one somewhere along their journey but have decided not to keep it as time goes on.

A common request that I’ve been getting as of late is reviewing audio gears that are more mainstream locally. Being more popular would mean being more budget-friendly and accessible which is great! I did browse some local marketplaces and found the KZ earphones to be one of the more popular. I randomly picked one product […]
Revisiting the Audio-Technica ESW9
Parting ways with old headphones are a struggle primarily because of the nostalgia factor. Reminding you of the early days of your journey, how far you’ve come, and how the landscape of the hobby has changed since. Though that is only true if the headphone is good enough to be kept around. Today, we are […]
Meze Rai Solo Review
Just like some of you, my audiophile journey started with in-ear monitors specifically a Sennheiser CX200. At the time I thought “hey what’s wrong with earphones?” Plus they’re not as expensive as headphones. Fast forward to today, about 97% of what I own and have tried are headphones, and earphones have taken a backseat for […]
