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.

Speed and Balance: Tangzu Xuan Nv dynamic Headphone Review


✔ Speed and Balance: Tangzu Xuan Nv dynamic Headphone Review

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.

A whole other level: ThieAudio Hype 4 hybrid headphones review


✔ A whole other level: ThieAudio Hype 4 hybrid headphones review
🔥 ThieAudio Hype 4 on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sci25zpmm64u4kv?erid=2SDnjbtPkAD

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.

Well, as representatives of the relatively high audio segment, I suggest you consider the Tangzu Nezha 7-driver hybrid headphones, based on low-frequency drivers from Sonion and including a full-fledged electrostatic radiator. The coolest headphones by any measure - one of my favorites.

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.

Two whales: a comparative review of KiwiEars Allegro and FosiAudio DS2 DACs


✔ Two whales: a comparative review of KiwiEars Allegro and FosiAudio DS2 DACs
🔥 KiwiEars Allegro on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sc3e8xzi5isqkla?erid=2SDnjeh5sMs
🔥 FosiAudio DS2 on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sc3ea53iekg04lg?erid=2SDnjewukBK

As many of you guess, the budget segment of DACs, no matter mobile or stationary, is conventionally divided into two equal parts: musical and technical. The musical one is KiwiEars Allegro, and the technical one is the new FosiAudio DS2 on two Cirrus Logic converters. Of course, they have different power, design and consumption, but otherwise they are very similar. In general, on the example of these two such different and at the same time absolutely identical devices I propose to understand the issue of sound directivity.

Moondrop Space Travel review: versatile wireless headphones


✔ Moondrop Space Travel review: versatile wireless headphones
🔥 Moondrop Space Travel on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sbzmi4uxrcjeejt?erid=2SDnjdvYsnZ

Well, since we've covered Golden Ages in detail, it's worth talking about their younger version: Moondrop Space Travel. Unfortunately, there is no noise reduction, there is not a planar but a 13 mm speaker inside, slightly less codecs and battery life, but in principle everything is the same: VDSF tuning, application support and exactly 55 ms as signal delay.

🔥 Moondrop Golden Ages on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1saciwx68a4f1ktg?erid=2SDnjeQdiqn

Today I want to talk about possibly a new hit from Moondrop: wireless TWS headphones based not on a speaker or even a hybrid bundle, but on a large magneto-planar radiator. At the same time, the novelty supports LDAC and LC3 codecs, has active noise reduction, VDSF tuning, huge volume reserve, low latency and up to 6 hours of work on a single charge. It's called Golden Ages: 1979.

And they cost ridiculously little nowadays.

✔ Planar and speaker: KZ Symphony hybrid headphones review

I know you just love and have been waiting for quite some time now for a review of the KZ Symphony hybrid planar headphones, where a small speaker is responsible for the bass and a gorgeous in-house-made planar driver is responsible for everything else. Yes, I'm not saying this without sarcasm, but let's get to the bottom of it.
