PLEASE NOTE. Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless will be available in stores on August 23, but can be pre-ordered from August 9. The development has been rapid in noise-cancelling headphones, and once a year the manufacturers launch an improved top model that outperforms its predecessor. Unless you happen to be Sennheiser, that is. Here things have …
Just recently, Sony launched LinkBuds, a completely new type of product. Namely, a pair of wireless and completely open earbuds. The idea was that they could stay in your ears all day, as sound from the environment gets through while you listen to audiobooks, podcasts, news or even music. And while you’re fishing, in the …
Spending thousands of euros on a pair of headphones isn’t something I consider foolish anymore. It’s what you’ll have to do if you want a pair of Audeze LCD-5, and I’ve come to understand why you’d want to. Sound is truly a passion, and the fact that you can get a listening experience superior to …
Every time Sony has launched a new top-of-the-range wireless noise-cancelling headphone in recent years, they’ve been their own worst competitor. But as long as they made something better than its predecessor, they knew they had a winner. And I brought out the superlatives myself when I tested the WH-1000XM4 in the fall of 2020. But …
It may seem crazy to claim that €1,300 should be a “reasonable” price for a pair of headphones. But it’s actually quite conceivable, because the truth is that you get much better sound for your money with a pair of headphones than you would if you had to shell out for an expensive hi-fi system. …
Exactly two years have passed since Sennheiser launched the Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds, which I without hesitation claimed as my new favorites.They now had active noise cancellation and longer battery life, and the same fabulous audio quality. To this day, not many earbuds can beat the MTW2 in terms of audio quality, Bowers & …
With the high-end IE 600 earplug model, Sennheiser ignores everything about wireless sound. Cable is the way to go to get the most out of your favourite music. That means you can perfect the sound to your own taste with your favourite amplifier, and it also means musicians can use the plugs on stage. But …
In a market overflowing with earbuds – most of them of the completely wireless type – it’s nice to see that technological innovations are still happening. Such as NuraTrue. With the Nuraphone, Australian Nura created the first headphones on the market that automatically create a profile for the user’s individual hearing and correct for it. …
Technics EAH-AZ60 has a number of features, all of which are gathered in one well-designed app. Since not everyone hears the same, noise reduction can vary from ear to ear. Therefore, Technics allows you to test in the app when it is optimal and calibrate this point to the maximum. From there, the noise reduction …
The Sony WH-XB910N can easily be confused with the top model WH-1000XM4 in appearance. If you do not choose them in blue, which big brother is not found in. Otherwise, they are the spitting image of the 1000XM4. The fit is really good with ear cushions that enclose the ears and sit comfortably on the …
Yamaha tried making headphones a while ago, without much success. This time, the Japanese seem to have taken the job more seriously, when they give us the YH-E700A, which must be the best padded earcups in the class. They radiate quality to a greater extent than most, and also fit very well around the ears. …
In a relatively short time, Focal has established themselves as one of the world’s best manufacturers of headphones. It does not seem possible for the French speaker manufacturer to make bad headphones. The open Focal Clear were probably the ones that made the biggest impression on me, considering the price. Because even though the top …
Apple users will nod in recognition, perhaps mockingly, when they see what’s in the case here. OnePlus Buds Pro is among the more shameless, Chinese AirPods Pro copies out there. Although they are not white, but rather black with mirror-polished microphone booms. And it should be said that they give a good feeling of quality, …
If you asked me which integrated amplifier is the best, it would be a difficult question to answer indeed. But the Naim Uniti Atom is certainly high on the list at its price range. At least if would like streaming and and a small footprint to go with it – it really is unique. Good …
Sennheiser is always a safe choice if you are looking for high quality headphones in a given price segment. The German headphone manufacturer has been doing this for over 75 years. And they know their line of work. It is therefore no wonder that very many headphone manufacturers use Sennheiser as a reference when measuring …
