Update: I uploaded a simple video with both files cut together, for those too lazy to download and manually compare both recordings, of course you will lose some information due to YouTube’s compression: https://youtu.be/qQrZavOMT...

I attached a measurement of both based on the pink noise I played during this video.
Towards the end I also featured the HD800S playing against the Utopia.

I attached some quick measurements based on pink noise I played over all headphones inside the store. Unfortunately it was quite noisy, thus measurements in the bass area are quite unprecise. I also attached the HD600 which I didn't feature in the video, but I played pink noise to have some refer...

It’s quite an interesting topic: can cheap speakers sound better in a more dampened room than expensive ones in an empty room?
The room acoustic is often overlooked by many audio enthusiasts investing mostly into the best cables and newest gadgets but ignoring the fact that the room will ...

I tried making something usable out of this Austrian crap. Holy shit what were those morons responsible for the sound thinking? But it seems to be their "house sound" obviously when looking at the other junk from them, measured by Oratory1990: 2021-10-04 20:42:24 +0000 UTC View Post
I need to apologize as I screwed up my EQ compensation for the last video of the Kii Three speakers because I had some additional compensating filter inside my recording loop which I forgot about, therefore it was "baked" into the recording with an over compensated result. I didn't notice this pr...

I would like to give away my WF-1000XM3 this month as I hardly used it and didn't use it at all since my work on the Earfun Free Pro and it's just collecting dust right now. I thought about keeping it for future tests, but I don't really need it and I hope someone else can have more use for it. I...

I was wondering how loud all of you usually listen to music when using headphones? From my experience I usually tend to listen at much higher levels over headphones than what I would over a speaker but I still have the impression as I was rather listening at lower levels than many others.

This is my last video with the Onyx Studio 7 and 6, as I returned the 7 in the meantime. I am still not sure if I should keep the 6 but I will probably also return this one although I liked it more than the 7 in the end.
Also surprised about the performance of the Motion Boom here, which I ...

Better late than never, here my first take on the Onyx Studio 7.
I had some problems with copyright, therefore this part is at double the speed. I also had some static hiss issues with my recorder which I tried to minimise with some noise reduction, you may still notice some artefacts in th...

Sorry for the long delay of my first Onyx Studio 7 video, which should have been already posted yesterday, but I have to fight with copyright issues again as the video got blocked worldwide because of one single song. I need to upload a new version which is encoding right now, but it will still t...

I drove to Vienna to check out the Dan Clark Stealth headphone which unfortunately hasn't arrived yet. But I had the chance to try out some high-end headphones and amps/dacs and immediately shot a video as I had my equipment with me.

Before finishing my first video I managed to prepare some measurements of the Onyx Studio 7. In AC-power it gets 3.5dB more loudness compared to battery mode. The sound itself does not change regardless if played from battery or AC-power. I also did some off-axis measurements (measuring jus...

Tribit obviously saw my first video with all complaints I had about the Xsound Mega and they sent me a new firmware with allegedly improved sound. Let’s find out if it really sounds any better. I wanted to listen together with you.

Some quick measurement of the Mi speaker, funny thing is that the "deep bass" EQ is just a tad louder than normal, but in reality with even less bass....
It retains the same sound over the entire volume range, just at higher levels the limiter reduces treble and bass a bit.

I am actually quite surprised about the performance offered by this speaker here.
I will also try doing some measurements tonight to check what’s wrong.
Not sure if it makes sense to shoot another video with it.

Just a quick soundcheck how they perform indoors at normal listening levels before returning them to Mediamarkt.
I am somehow not impressed with either of them.
