Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $170.00 from AV Electronics Malay

Summary:
Good Buy for those that are looking for a well tonal balance. Great bass and superb clearity. Comparing with my previous KOSS KTX Pro, that is nothin near this one. I plug it to my computer powered by Sound Blaster Live! DE and it sound great. Only sometimes it sounded too bright. altough it is below RM 200, but for this price you dont get this kind of sound from other brands that i have known.

Strengths:
great bass and tonal balance. superb hights

Weaknesses:
sometimes too biting. kind of hurt a little of my ear tip, may due to too many hours of listening

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
These phones are so melifluous that they sound like having a small pair of speakers attached to the sides of the head, that is to say, they sound so un-headphone like! Forget the idea of listener fatigue. The last thing they are is shrill, overanalytical. I use them on CD, TV, anything in fact.They may not be the last word in sound detail, but my word they are not tiring and the headband is most compfortable. Also the ears do not get overly hot.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $75.00 from eBay

Summary:
I purchased these after my open-air Grado SR60's proved completely ineffective when faced with any sort of outside noise (traffic, subway, etc.). For the price, these sealed cans provide a beautiful, intoxicating sound. Unortunately the sound was not as present as I would have liked. If you want a set of cans for your CD player - these are the best under $100. Small, sealed (trust me, if you're anywhere in the city or by a highway, you'll want sealed), light and great-sounding, the DT-231's should be in every audiophile's repetoire. But if you're looking for a home-use set of headphones, there are better choices for the price.

Strengths:
Very comfortable, much like the Sennheiser models. Much less bulky and light than anything else as comfortable. Sweet tone.

Weaknesses:
Milky sound does not lend itself to any sort of critical listening

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
