We have all long been accustomed to the idea that good full-size headphones are necessarily expensive. However, Kiwi Ears has apparently decided to change the rules of the game by releasing the Altruva open dynamic model with a 50 mm driver. At a truly altruistic price, they managed to add wood, eco-leather, and metal to the body, as well as take care of the design and even the contents of the set. The model sounds absolutely fantastic for its price, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Sivga already had a lot of really cool headphones in terms of all characteristics, but none of them had a closed acoustic design. And now, a miracle has happened - I have a true masterpiece of the industry in my hands: Sivga Peng. Naturally, the ear cups are made of natural wood, covered with lambskin leather, the hinges are made exclusively of metal, the design is chic, the cable is premium, and the sound is simply fantastic for such a form factor. I haven't found anything better yet.

For some reason, CVJ Mermaid headphones passed me by, but their updated version, released in collaboration with R2E3 Acoustic, finally made it to me. It is based on a single 10 mm beryllium-coated driver, comes with a rich set of accessories, looks good, has decent tuning, and, importantly, a very attractive price.

GeekFly Vitas Review: really, audiophile TWS headphones

Today we are talking about TWS headphones, which have simply destroyed all other models. Previously, hybrids with a speaker or a planar and one balanced armature were considered difficult, but GeekFly did the impossible by placing both a speaker and a planar, two reinforcement radiators, and two more piezoelectric emitters in the case. Moreover, inside there is a battery for 7 hours of battery life, plus a fresh Bluetooth chip with aptX and aptX Lossless codecs. Naturally, all this was competently coordinated, placed in convenient buildings and assigned them a price that was quite adequate for their capabilities. As many have probably guessed, these are already slightly sensational Vitas. I've been using them for about six months and I have something to tell you.

Among other interesting new products, the Horizon hybrid 5-driver headphones from ZiiGaat stand out. Their classic 10 mm speaker is responsible for the bass, there are two armature drivers manufactured by Knowles in the middle, and at the very top there is a cherry, also represented by two, but purely planar radiators. Everything is very well thought out, there are no problems in docking, and the setup here is for those who appreciate absolutely the entire frequency range, without any noticeable holes or blockages.

Many people love Tanchjim headphones for their rich sound tuning capabilities, but with the new Fission, the company has surpassed itself, giving us a whopping 12 different sound profiles, not to mention the built-in DAC connector, proprietary app, and very reasonable price. Yes, this is a classic dynamic model, but with the makings of planar radiators.

No one has even the slightest doubt that the S12 model is a success: first there were the simple planar Letshuoer S12, then the limited edition S12 2024 Edition, followed by the improved Pro, and now we have the long-awaited Ultra in our hands. All of them use a large 14.8 mm driver, but of different generations. The new model features a DAC, and, of course, the tuning and sound have been worked on once again.

Another serious collaboration took place at the Tanchjim acoustic laboratory with a well-known cable manufacturer: Effect Audio. As a result, we got 2-driver purely dynamic Force headphones. Inside of which there is an 8.2mm beryllium driver and a 10 mm titanium bass radiator. The manufacturer talks about a lot of proprietary technologies used in Force, but what about their sound - we'll actually figure it out today.

The Odyssey 2 headphones, as the name suggests, are a direct continuation of the popular ZiiGaat Odyssey, but they were not released solo, but in collaboration with the well-known Hangout.Audio. Almost nothing has changed in terms of the model's internals, except, of course, for the dynamic driver, and the settings are also identical, but the sound has undergone a literal transformation. As always, we will take a look at the graphs, talk about the set, and compare them head-to-head with some new releases and timeless classics.

You often ask how mid-range headphones differ from high-end ones, given that everything is already very decent for a notional $260. Today, using the example of the hybrid Xenns Mangird Top Pro, I will try to give the clearest and most detailed answer possible. The new model has an abundance of drivers, but that's not the point, as it's a classic set of two 10 mm speakers and several paired armature drivers manufactured by Sonion and Knowles.
