I never once in my life thought I’d be able to listen to flagship headphones for an extended period. Sure, I can go to meets and hi-fi events but that’s pretty much it. Not that I’m complaining but there’s more to pick up when you’re able to keep something for months as was the case […]
Over-ear headphones
Audeze introduced its new flagship, the LCD-5
