With the same price and technical data as the DT 1990 Pro, one can be led to believe that it is only the cosmetic that separates the Beyerdynamic Amiron Home from the pro model. They use the same second-generation 45mm Tesla element in open earbuds that cover the entire ear. The listening test, however, reveals …
The black pro headphones use the same element as Amiron Home, Beyerdynamics’ home edition in gray, but they do not sound the same for that reason. Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro is the yard for studio use and musicians who need a more analytical sound image to hear as much of the mix as possible. The …
Sony had in many ways a very entertaining headphone model in the Sony MDR-Z7M2. There was no lack of entertainment factor, but you had to have a slightly proper headphone amplifier to get it out. It got too tame from the cell phone. Sony is not alone in this, but the punchy bass and excellent …
AKG N700NCM2 Review: It’s a bit of a shame at AKG. The original Austrian company, which has been part of Harman since the 90’s, was for many years synonymous with special professional sound of very high quality, and in 2010 they also won a technical Grammy for their many years of work with perfecting studio …
I have an ambivalent relationship with audio products made for training. On the one hand, it is very nice with gadgets that can withstand a noise, and which do not break due to a little sweat. On the other hand, it is annoying that someone has meant on my behalf as an exerciser (to the …
JBL has been making speakers for more than 70 years, but headphones – and especially noise-canceling headphones – have only been added to the product catalog in recent years. The JBL Club 950NC is a closed headphone with electronic noise reduction (ANC) in the upper tier of the mid-range range. That is, in the affordable …
We recently tested the third generation of Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8, which had been corrected for childhood diseases from the first two generations of completely wireless earplugs. But Bang & Olufsen had more up their sleeve: a sports version of the Beoplay E8 that has just landed in the reviewer’s ears. The Beoplay E8 …
“When I waked, I cried to dream again” The words were written by William Shakespeare in The Tempest, but they can also be used to describe the feeling I get every time I take off my HiFiMAN HE-1000se. A pair of addictive headphones, which appeal more to emotions than reason. This also applies to economic …
They look like cheap AirPods copy. But the Timekettle M2 is more than the “original” can dream of. The great thing about these cheap earbuds is neither the protruding microphones, nor that they, unlike AirPods, can play music in aptX format. Instead, Timekettle with the M2 earbuds can translate everything you say into virtually any …
The world’s best noise cancelling headphones have been replaced, and the new WH-1000XM4 are better in every way. No matter what types of music I’m listening to, I find the audio quality better. There’s better pace and rhythm, I more often find myself snapping my fingers to the music and singing along. Outside noise is …
Anyone who has been to the local gym can’t help but notice the many people walking around wearing earbuds. Music makes exercise a little easier to get through, and can also provide motivation and pace for a good jog for instance. With heart rate monitors and other advanced running gear, your headphones can work as …
True wireless earphones have become some of the most popular types of earphones. Matched only by noise cancelling headphones and gaming headsets. This category didn’t even exist just a few years ago but, in recent years especially, most manufacturers have come on board with their own version of self-contained, wireless earbuds. Including JBL. The JBL …
Wireless earbuds that are wholly free of wires are hugely popular. Two small earbuds are all you need to hear music on your way to work, just relaxing or exercising. They cost more than wired earbuds and battery life is relatively limited. Four to five hours and if they don’t sit properly in your ears …
Last winter, we tested the wireless Jabra Elite 75t earbuds, which we praised to the skies for highly effective passive noise reduction, excellent fit and outstanding sound quality with plenty of depth. Now their successor, the Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds, have landed on our test bench and you must forgive us if reading this …
Sennheiser is among our all-time favourites for completely wireless earbuds. Momentum True Wireless 1 was brilliant with a beautiful sound and a good fit and a real premium feel. There aren’t many wireless earbuds on the market that can match Momentum True Wireless in terms of sound quality. Perhaps none, because if I were to …
