Comfort to wear. Comes with spare battery.

Review 3 of 6

Price Paid:  $240.00 from Tape Connection

Summary:
The difference in sound between these and my STAX SR-Sigma aren’t that great. But they do have an annoying habit of adjusting the volume (sounds like it) during play. Even if they do not have the sound quality of my STAX I find myself using them because it is so much easier (I am not confined to the couch as is the case with the STAX).

Strengths:
Portable, as in - no cord! Not bad sounding. (many portable are) Easy to use.

Weaknesses:
Occasional level adjustment. Price/sound quality

None.

Review 5 of 6

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Tanguay

Summary:
I decide to buy this unit to replace another wired sennheiser model hd495 who suddenly lost one channel. It is still on the warranty but i was pretty tired to be attached on a wire. Generally the sound is quite accurate and precise with no hissing. High frequencies are transparent and the image proposed is very clear.

Strengths:
Light weight. Ease of use. Precision. Clear sound (better than my hd495) Best wireless!

Weaknesses:
Sound compression noticable when listening music with high dynamic range at high volume.

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.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

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.
