Are there any good, quality European earphones/headphones?

I have both. Most of the Focals are made in France. I have the Stellias (very high end) The B&Os are made in China. I have the Portals for gaming and the H100 for casual/commute/travel.

iBasso just announced the DX340 MAX Ti — 688 units, user-replaceable battery, end of April

None of my over head headphones are particularly hard to drive (Focal Stellia, Focal Utopia, HifiMAN He1000se, Senn HD800s). The HD800s is probably the hardest to drive and it has no issue with the DX340/Amp18. The Amp17 has more power but the noise floor is not as good, which can be an issue with s

Focal Bathys vs PX8 S2

I did an AB test with the Bathy MGs and PX82s. To me, the focals were the clear winner. Much better soundstage and instrument separation. And just a much more complete sound. The B&Ws were a bit warmer, but the slightly recessed vocals, no matter how I eq’d them were a deal breaker. The focals are t

FULL REVIEW: AFUL DAWN-X: Why I don’t regret spending over 1k USD – or why you don’t have to! AN EXTENDED ROUND UP with interesting options below USD 1k

lol its just a general comment. i think your szalayi is one tier above and solve the quirks you.mentioned. next tier with basshead trait CA Clara. but wayyyyy overpriced. even higher dynamics. just go focal radiance/stellia or denons with capble amp. end game bass dynamics even compared to these hig

JOAL - Stupid name. Great headphone!

I'm waiting for Focal to update focal stellia or make another close back like Radiance. I live in a noisy environment, so I listen to DCA E3 and MDR Z1R most of the time. Open back only for late night enjoyment.

[FNAC] Refus de retour pour un casque audio à 1400 € acheté en ligne : motif “produit d’hygiène” non indiqué — recours possible ?

Merci pour ta réponse, t’inquiète c’est pas à côté du tout, c’est même super pertinent. Alors pour répondre à tes questions : J’utilise le DAC/ampli RME ADI-2 DAC FS, donc a priori pas de souci de qualité ou de puissance. Oui, j’ai appliqué l’égaliseur Oratory1990 (target Harman) via Peace EQ, donc

Звук в іграх

Я з дитинства дуже любив музику, тому звук і саундтрек для мене дуже важливі. Я люблю атмосферні ігри в які легко зануритись і повірити. Саунд дизайн є фундаментом для цього занурення. Декілька моїх улюблених саундтреків які я часто слухаю навіть не граючи в ті ігри: Skyrim, Ori and the blind forest

What is your choice?

Very simple explanation, the tuning simply doesn't work for me. The long version is that I have a preference toward stronger bass emphasis in my headphones and tend to prefer closed back sets, like the ZMF Atrium and Bokeh Closed, Focal Radiance and Stellia, or Meze Strada. My open backs are typical

Is the px8 s2 really much better than the px7 s3 ? Honest opinions please

The best all around sounding NC headphones are the Bose 700 or the Bose 15 WITH a FIIO amp or any respectable Dongle amp will do . Trust me!. The sound of the old 15s with the amp are insane. First off the power this gives them and their ability to handle the power and sound is unbelievable. Before
