Suggestions for improving communication about audio.

Mistakes: 1- review or recommend a headphone like you heard with it or used it, without using it (likely you are just saying what another guy says about his experience with the headphone). 2- A hyped review, if you are used to a bad headphone, and hyped about the new headphone then you are going to say it’s the best. 3-new and weird words that try to match the discerption of your experience, like saying the headphone sounds electrical,the correct word for it in the audiophile glossary it’s buzzy. 4-price to sound quality ratio, the price is in the hand of the company and the more the demand the higher it will be, but sound quality is different that’s why we got reviews. Not every $1000 will sound better than 500 or 400.

Glad to see another video from you bro!

[@nyvoreviews5443]

Thanks, yeah. Just been busy working long hours

[@blejzerosamigos6115]

Thanks great video, specially the part about technicalities vs tonality.

[@nyvoreviews5443]

Thanks. I might not have all of the right answers, but I do see progress being made in the community of my goal to push other audio reviewers and audiophiles into a direction that is useful.

@@nyvoreviews5443 That is not an easy task for sure. One issue is that a lot of people are in a different stage on the journey with different budgets and different determination and goals. Going back to your lcd5 example, when I heard it the first time it came out at Axpona I was really impressed with it but looking back I could never reproduce that impressive sound, it could be few reasons (my stage on the journey,what I heard later, unit variation etc.) There is so many moving parts in this hobby getting people to agree on some things is very hard.

Welcome back

Are you a gamer, right? Aside from budget options, is it true that over-ear headphones generally outperform IEMs technically at the same price? Also, what is your current primary headphone for competitive gaming?

[@nyvoreviews5443]

Yeah. One of the Doom 2016 quakecon winners, and pretty good at quake. I guess in general headphones are better for gaming but there are some iems that are good for gaming too. However it really depends. Because some headphones are definitely not made for gaming. I’ve been rotating headphones a lot, currently playing with tygr300r again, but susvara and sr-009s are some of my favorites for gaming.

Hey Nice come back NYVO , Can you please share the link of your ear tips ( foam ) you use for Almost Naked Olina , i bought it as you said it presents sound better than much expensive once with Almost naked Mod also in that video it was bit blurry to see can you just post an image please

[@nyvoreviews5443]

Ah. It’s actually hybrid. Symbio w peel tips. These are the safer tuned ones. The other tips as azla xelastec, these increase technicality and sacrifice tonality

[@zindahoon]

@@nyvoreviews5443 I Have Azla but atm i use final e typewithout any mod ,thanks

[@luissalazar3811]

Too bad not a lot of stores don't even have gear like this. Good luck finding flagships on Target & Walmart demo sections.

[@nyvoreviews5443]

Yeah, I’ve had to drive 8 hours to hear some of it. Gotta plan it out so it’s not the only thing you do in a trip.

[@hemispherecompensation]

LCD5 hype train 😂 thank god I traded one of them up to a Sus. Took a bath on the other one.

[@TheLeftistOwl]

This is why I hate audiophiles. "if you have a $400 headphone, it's probably not the best thing" come on. This is a subjective hobby and if someone finds a $400 headphone sounds better than a $4000 one, that's fine. It's not misinformation to like something
