Headphones / IEMs is the umbrella place where I keep all my reviews of portable stuff like earphones and IEMs and headphones. It helps having this category to know whether something is for head wearing or for desktop usage. There are separate categories for IEMs and Headphones, if you’re looking for something specific.
You can find my reviews on high end products below, and also the best high end products here: https://amzn.to/3r1RIu5
Views 61,766 Final A8000 is the Summit-Fi release from Final Audio, an IEM costing over 2000 GBP, so it will compete with the absolute best, like the Clear Tune Monitors Da Vinci X, FiiO FA9, Campfire Atlas, Dita Fidelity, and Lime Ears Model X, all of which are similar in …
Views 79,350 iBasso SR2 is the latest headphone from the DAP producer iBasso. Those are their second iteration of the SR Series, and happily they are priced at 500 USD, which places them right in the middle of the midrange price range. Despite this, they will be compared with headphones …
Views 20,956 MH40 Wireless is a monster of a headphone, priced so aggressively, at 250 USD, and being so feature-rich, and sounding so good, that it blew my mind the first time I heard it. So I decided to give it a run for its money and compare it to …

Views 58,989 FiiO FA9 is the first flagship IEM made by FiiO, and they are priced quite aggressively at 500 USD, making them a direct competitor to other flagships, like Meze Rai Penta, Final Audio B1, and Campfire Atlas. Can’t forget to do a proper comparison with FH7 too, given …
Views 20,182 The price of the RHA True Connect dropped to 70 USD from 170 they were launched at, making them a pretty good deal now. With a ton of competitors, like Master & Dynamic MW07GO, HIFIMAN TWS600, and 1More Stylish TWS IEMs, they have to fight for their place …
Views 44,701 M3PRO is not exactly a linear upgrade from the original FiiO M3K, that I reviewed quite a while ago. Given its pocket-friendly price point of 80 USD, it does replace the original M3K, and it will get compared to M3K, FiiO BTR5, and Earmen TR-AMP. The pairings list …

Views 34,786 BTR5 is probably the most complete Bluetooth DAC/AMP on the market right now, and it costs 110 USD at the moment of making this review. This means that it will get compared to Earstudio HUD100, Lotto Paw S1, and Topping E30, all of which are close enough in …

Views 66,786 AM05 is a new IEM released by iBasso, and this is the green version, with a better looking one, blue, in the wild. The price is about 300 USD, so they will be compared to The Periodic Audio Carbon, Final Audio B2, and FiiO FA7. Despite having 5 …
Views 77,732 Fischer FA-4E XB is a multi-Ba driver IEM, with a low impedance and a high SPL, extreme clarity and revealing abilities, good isolation, and pretty much everything a monitor should have. Since the FA-4E XB costs quite a bit, about 400 EURO or 450 USD, the comparisons list …
