Time goes by, and SMSL is not standing still. Following the well-received DO100 and D-6S came even more curious and technically advanced DAC - SMSL DO100 Pro. It was equipped with two up-to-date ESS ES9039Q2M converters, a bluetooth chip with AptX HD and LDAC codecs, XU316 for USB, HDMI Arc for input and two pairs of outputs: RCA and balanced XLR. At the same time, they've tightened up the design a bit, added a couple of customizations and included a remote control. So we have almost the best device in the technical sense again.

That is, well, not a profile solution at all. They are called Celest Ogryn, are based on Cmedia DAC and 50 mm speakers, have RGB backlighting, detachable microphone, virtual 7.1 mode and, what is far from important, are fully controlled from the built-in remote control. Everything, so to speak, for the convenience of the modern gamer.

Sendy Audio brand is one of the subsidiaries of the well-known company Sivga, the name of which has been on the lips of connoisseurs of high-quality full-size headphones for several years. And they make them not from cheap plastic, as you know who, but from metal and precious wood. Today I propose to get acquainted with their flagship model called Apollo. Yes, it's far from new, but it's everyone's favorite open headphones with replaceable cable and 68 mm planar radiator. So it's exactly what you like.

Today's review I want to dedicate, as you often call them, the best of the inexpensive planar headphones, namely Takstar HF580. The model is not a fresh one, but people are still asking about it, and there are quite a few who are still lusting after it. However, there is nothing to be surprised about: they look very serious, inside there is a large planar radiator 76 by 97 mm, the whole 3 meters of cable, extremely smooth tuning of the AFC and cloth ear cushions in the set. So, as they say, it's a complete package.

MoonDrop seems to have decided to put an end to the dilemma regarding the size of the planar emitter. Yes, the relatively new Para has not 50 or even 60mm drivers, but a full hundred, so to speak. At the same time, their price tag is quite reasonable, they come with two sets of ear cushions for easy tuning, open cup design, solid metal in the body and the same Harman as tuning. What can I say, these are some of the most interesting planar headphones I've ever tested, and we'll talk about them in detail today.

Beautiful and expensive: 7Hz Aurora hybrid headphones review

✔ Beautiful and expensive: 7Hz Aurora hybrid headphones review
🔥 7Hz Aurora on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sct4h1sxqurnv4u?erid=2SDnje7Kf2Z

The only hybrid combination in the relatively high end of the headphone segment that you and I have yet to experience is a bundle of a really big speaker, a planar driver, and some balanced armatures. But that's exactly the experience we're actually offered by the new 7Hz Aurora, which we'll of course compare to the ThieAudio Hype 4, Tangzu Nezha and I\O Audio Volare. As always, great headphones, but with their own subtleties and nuances.

In addition to the relatively expensive headphones we've been talking about over the past month, there are some pretty good budget solutions in the world of audio. Among them I would like to mention Tangzu Xuan Nv, designed in the style of ordinary butterflies. They are based on two drivers, where both are speakers, have fully transparent hypoallergenic housings and, in my opinion, almost the best ear cushions on the market. A curious model, and quite cheap as well.

And lastly, in this price segment I left the magnificent hybrid headphones I\O Audio Volare, inside which works a speaker, 4 armature radiators and, attention, as many as 4 electrostatic drivers. All of them are connected to the crossover, densely packed inside, and on the side of the sound guide are equipped with two replaceable acoustic filters. Both the headphones and the packaging look stunning, and the number of included ear cushions is amazing. Great headphones, and we'll talk about them today.

ThieAudio Hype 2 headphones, as I actually predicted, managed to become almost a benchmark of good sound in its segment. It was logical to move on and here I have in my hands the next step of quality - Hype 4, based on two isobarically arranged 10 mm drivers and four armature drivers from Sonion company, two for each band. What can I say, a new height has naturally been reached, and I'll tell you more about it in this review.

Akliam PD5 DAC review: one of the best budget DACs out there

✔ Akliam PD5 DAC review: one of the best budget DACs out there
🔥 Akliam PD5 on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sc3eoiauorfi36y?erid=2SDnjcPfexh

Speaking about the directions of budget sound, I mentioned in passing that really high-quality solutions combine both technicality and beautiful melody. Well, as an example I named the hero of our today's review - Akliam PD5, which, indeed, can be attributed to the segment of good adult sound for a moderate price. However, you wouldn't expect anything else from AK4493SEQ, especially since two Ricores are responsible for the amplification part, and USB is powered by the same ComTrue. This is an excellent DAC, so let's talk about it separately.
