I subscribed, thank you for such an awesome video!! I want to ask something, if you solely compared the sound quality & sound stage of Momentum TWS 4's vs. Galaxy Buds 3 Pro's vs. Sony WF-1000XM5's, which one would you choose? Will wait for your reply, thanks again.

Any problem with noise?

The app from google play store is now working fine

how does the Alba compare to the Hype 4 in terms of bass impact, details etc?

Great review. The earpads are removable, and there is actually a youtube video showing how to remove them. When listening with the 3.5mm cable, you can either completely shut off the Apollo or leave them on and utilize the ANC and DSP. When powered off, they are completely passive, meaning that there is no DSP coming from the Apollo, and therefore the 7db boost you mentioned (and any EQ settings) would not be a factor.

Good, solid, balanced review. I bought these because of the battery life and them proving to be a good all-arounder in all applications. My pet peeve with the case is, why just the tray? Why not a compartment with a flip up magnetized lid? That would’ve been a better design choice. A little secret is that entire piece smoothly slides up to reveal enough space underneath the tray portion to store that pouch and the manual. A much better place to store them and lessen the risk of losing them! I find that I prefer them with ANC off and with the Pop preset. The Pop preset seems to boost the bass and bring down the treble just a touch. I love the air in the treble without it getting edgy and the image separation. I do agree about the comfort. It’s not bad but I do find myself doing a quick readjustment every 30 minutes or so. Overall, I would say that they’re probably not the best in any one category but do everything well. When you add their fairly neutral sound signature into the mix, I think that they serve all genres of music well.

Here for the headphone stand 🔥🔥🔥

Does the passthrough drain the battery?

Use for gaming?

instant subscribe , great job ! bought a used forteza for 17 eur , will see once i try it how it performs

Very disappointed and I'm going to return it. Using ier-z1r and the 100$ qudelix sounds better and the app is much nicer

Awesome video for those considering their higher end options. As someone who's used all three and still hangs onto the Arya Stealth and the Auteur Classic, I agree with a lot of what you said. The HD800s really didn't do much for me but I do enjoy its hipster brother the ADX5000. Something about the Aryas really do make it the most complete package

Mid forward! then it's not for me

whats up skeeb23 what was the best amp/dac u have tried with the E3 ? am using the hifiman ef500 and the hel 2 plus with it right now i mostly play call pf duty with them''''

Добрый день. Посмотрел Ваш обзор. Спасибо большое очень информотивно! Для себя понял что буду брать arya organic.

You put me over the edge. I bought after seeing your video. Thanks.

Which will be the best under $200 dlls ? I have onix alpha, fiio ka13, and epz tp20.

Hello Skeeb23, very good review, with high impedance headphone (especially 6xx) is Mojo 2 a better pairing than CMA18 ?

Hi Skeeb. I tried to like them because I LOVE Koss. I always wonder why people including audiophiles feel like they have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars when you can just get the KSC75s or KPH40s for basically free and call it a day. My point. After using these wireless which were sounding muffled, I immediately threw on my KSC75s. It is night and day. What a difference. The KSC75s are sooo good. And again, they cost nothing. As much as I hate to do it, I have to return these wireless portas. My apologies to Koss. The company is still awesome.

My pair has a hiss on the left side when connected on Bluetooth. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hifiman has some crazy sales right now. The Arya stealth is $599 and the he1000 stealth is $1199. I actually prefer the Arya Stealth for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. I'm thinking of returning the HE1000s for the Arya organic. The HE1000 is a bit on the warmer side for me. But great video though. I think we have similar preferences

Great review, as always! I own the Dan Clark E3 headphones with the CMA 18, and I would like to know if in terms of sound quality, if the Ibasso Taipan gives a better sound than the Questyle CMA 18? I'm not talking about power. In short, is the upgrade worth it? Because the CMA 18 makes a very good match with the E3.

Hi mate, great video! Just a small correction, the optical port is not restricted to 24/96khz it does go up to at least 24/192khz. Furthermore it’s a great performing optical port, and because it doesn’t transmit electrical noise it sounds far better than usbc. If you pair it with a mini DDC like SMSL PO100PRO (under $50) you can convert any USB or lighting signal into optical (make sure it supports 192khz not all do). The sound is clearer with extremely low noise floor. Mojo2 sounds great fed optically from CDTs and Streamers as well. All the best!

What is better for shooter Sennheiser hd560s or Beyerdinamic mx300pro open versión ?

That non-removal mic makes my blood boil, partly because I'm looking for an open back gaming headset.

Thank you for the info on the headphones. Looking forward to a trip to Japan soon, will be going to Yodobashi stores and trying all these out. Trying to find a set of good open ear headphones to a $300 usd cap. Been using a set of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs for about a decade now and I am happy with them and would like to add something flat with a good sound stage. Any recommendations I should look out for?

My unit seems to have an audible noise floor or at least that’s what I think it is. Is this normal for tube amps? Reached out to Woo and they said it’s normal and should be unobtrusive when audio is playing. P.s I’m using the Atrium open, Empyrean II & Arya Organic.

Loveee the organics!

Just got these delivered today and i have to say it sounds impressive with the included dongle dac. The biggest difference for me compared to my old bluetooth earbuds is the instrument separation and sublime vocals. Should i get an external dac/amp like the RU6? Will i hear a noticeable improvement in sound quality?

Get a chance to compare it to the mjolnir 3 yet?

Is there a way to make presets?

It's the exact same tuning as the Moondrop Chu 2. would love a comparison because the price difference is enormous

Hi which one would recommend between dc-elite and dc07 pro if dc-elite is 100 then how much will you score dc07?

Tidal has no soul. It sounds cold and dry IMHO. I tried few times....

I love my he1000SE.

Thank you.

Just tried out this Beyerdynamics mmx330 pro, and the 300 pro closed version, Sennheiser Hd 490 pro, Maxwell Audeze and Hifiman Ananda Nano. I was looking at Headset for gaming. Now, I can say the maxwell is pretty nice, but returned it because of it seems to be unreliable. All of the rest is ok and looks good all in all, but in my case the ananda feels insane with music AND gaming. FiiO k5 pro or something similar would be necessary, but your mind will be blown awayyy

Two things that I can relate to....Family comes first, and Quality over quantity.

Bring on the Bri headphone search. 👍

Damn I missed canjam

The best headphones in the world I love them I’m totally recommend it

if i already have the zen air dac and i want to upgrade my sound quality, would adding the zen air can improve sound quality at least a little bit? i use sennheiser hd560s 120 ohm

My biggest gripe with the tube mini is that it's 800 bucks for a portable tube amp setup where the tubes are NOT replaceable....that thing has a finite lifespan.

Woah, imo the microphone sounds AMAZING considering that it's over bluetooth AND with the wind? 😮

Mic sounds ok, but the antilon modmic wireless is still better

Don’t know why isn’t anyone comparing these to 900 pro x for gaming

how does this stack up against the mjolnir 3? currently using that to power my tungstens but always on the look out for different gear.

I’m thinking of this headphone as I’ve heard it’s amazing for mixing and mastering because of how revealing fast punchy and dynamic they are with the transients. Which planar headphones have all this but smoother highs? The Arya stealth is only $200 more or I could stretch to the organic (but that costs more than double) if either of these has though has those same nano characteristics but smother treble. I would also EQ the nano to harman if that helps. I make and listen to 90%+ house and techno. I don’t want it to be too harsh in the highs though. I have the DT880 and feel like they sound too metallic and harsh and also lack bass and perhaps the soundstage is too big and open (empty). Very bright and tinny which makes me feel a bit of that tinnitus feeling. It can be amazing for other genres though.

I enjoy the TUBE mini with PB on my work desk paired with Diana MR and it sounds phenomenal. The PB elevates the sound of TM by providing it more voltage than the 5v USB bus-power.
