ZiiGaat Lush
A step away from the ordinary Thanks to Linsoul for the chance to review these. All thoughts are my own and not influenced in anyway. ZiiGaat have been making waves in the IEM sea for the past year, I’ve been a big fan of their other models (I own most of them) so was excited…

The world of tubes
I recently picked up a Cayin N3 Ultra, a little portable DAP that has some tubes. This really opened my ears up to a new world! Since receiving that I decided that I absolutely needed a larger tube amplifier, enter the Cayin HA-2A. This thing is amazing, I’m currently going through my collection of headphones…

Kiwi Ears Airoso
Thanks to Linsoul for a review unit, all thoughts are my own. I’ve spent a week with these as my daily drivers. I have 124 IEMs, and 109 full-size headphones from budget sets to TOTL so have experience across many price points and listen to a lot of music. Rating is based on its price…

Elysian Pilgrim
Pilgrimone who journeys in foreign lands Elysian venture into the middle of Mid-Fi, how did they fare? The Pilgrim comes in a small but effective package, the unboxing experience is what you would expect from something priced a little higher, the two buds are beautifully presented to you when you open the package, with the…

AüR Audio Aurora
Listening to some Shpongle through this IEM, happy days. It has a laidback sound which pairs perfectly with Psybient music. The bass is quite unique, has a wavy texture which I haven’t really come across before in an IEM. The iBasso DC04Pro is also an awesome little dongle, 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm SE output. Also,…

Another day, another IEM
The AüR Audio Neon Pro arrived yesterday, looking very nice here with the Effect Audio Eros S 1st anniversary edition cable: Initial impressions are great! They have a bass switch, which increases (or decreases depending on how you look at it) the bass by 3db. I’ve tried them in both, think I prefer off, but…

MGMT – Little Dark Age
What a fantastic album! Congratulations gets more ear time with me, but that’s due to familiarity. Coming back to this today and perhaps this is actually a better album? Certainly close. New album on the way it would appear as well, can’t wait! Need to find some other artists like these guys.

AK x VE – Aura update
So after landing on the spinfits I was still having an issue with my right ear. I spent the weekend tip rolling, finally (!) landing on the Sennheiser Foam tips from the IE series. These create a great seal, which doesn’t budge when moving, and surprisingly the filter on the tip doesn’t impact the sound.…

Astell&Kern x Vision Ears – Aura
So I’ve treated myself to the AK x VE Aura’s. They arrived at the start of this week and, while I’m still gathering my thoughts, they combine what I loved about the VE Phonix with some amazing DD bass. Bliss. My thoughts on the Phonix (from head-fi post): The pairing of the EXT with the…
