Is that really almost 10 years ago? One is really amazed again and again how quickly time passes. And has the quality changed in the meantime? The participants of the then trötenwanderung, in which most headsets got under the wheels acoustically, were long ago disposed of and scrapped by the customers defectively and new generations followed with [...]

We have already tested several inexpensive in-ears from the Chinese manufacturer SoundPeats, and so far they have all scored with a decent price-performance ratio and rich bass. New models are tirelessly introduced to the market and with the Engine 4, enough new features have been added that I dared to take another look. To the manufacturer itself [...]
Product copying of major brand audio equipment in China is now a sad reflection of global challenges. In recent years, the copying and replication of major brand audio equipment by Chinese manufacturers has attracted worldwide attention and also a great deal of anger. This practice, also known as “cloning,” has drawn both highly [...]
What goes around comes around, and I was already a bit torn during the test 5 months ago, so I decided not to judge the Creative Sound Blaster X5 on my first impressions, but to run it in parallel with my HIFIMAN EF 400 for a longer time with various headphones alternately. In principle, not much has changed in the acoustically oriented judgment [...]
When I was handed a pair of Chinese true wireless in-ear headphones for under 50€ last year, I was more than skeptical. However, it quickly became apparent that the SoundPeats brand is very much a serious competitor. Just like last year’s two models, the Life Classic, which is even more affordable, also delivers an extremely impressive low [...]
When I tested the CORSAIR HS65 Surround last year, I was torn. On the one hand, it really didn’t do anything wrong in terms of workmanship, but on the other hand, I found the sound and features a bit sobering for the called price. You can read why I came to a similar conclusion about the wireless version of the HS65 in the review. With the [...]
The Sendy Audio Aiva has me touched (and not just because it’s a magnetostat), and has made me wonder a bit both beforehand and afterward. But more about that in a moment, because I have to elaborate a bit more. However, why I’m testing a pair of headphones for 649 Euros today is quickly explained: I’m currently testing an [...]
You probably remember my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headset, which simply destroyed itself in storage completely without use and which I had as article published last week. Being a sustainable person, I fixed the part today at my expense after having to wait a few days for the parts. The test will have to prove whether it was worth it – on [...]
I admit, I’m plenty pissed off. Why, that is actually also quickly explained. I oute myself today once as a private headphone collector and all the parts that I do not actively use or have ready, go together and in best harmony in the original packaging in my warehouse. I should note that this room also houses headphones in the four-digit [...]
In the meantime I have finished building the measuring station and have also finally solved the amplifier part for the headphones and the measuring microphone with a Creative Soundblaster AE-9. Of course, that’s exactly what I’ll be reporting on today. By the way, I also exposed the used technology to the graphics card glitches and was [...]
If you also hear what you see, the external analog amplifier has a nasty background hum, the headphones are much too quiet, and the sound comes across much too flat and powerless in other ways as well, then something is obviously rotten with the system. But where is the best place to start and, above all, what are the causes? I have already [...]
I admit that the test today was mainly due to my curiosity to see how the new measuring station performs in practice. Furthermore, the 99 euro ComfoBuds Mini from 1MORE are not pure in-ears (which I don’t like at all), but rather loose-fitting buds where you don’t have to fuss too much with adjusting all the silicone plugs. 1MORE [...]

And once again, the Pad Man has to take action to report problems. This time, however, not via heat conduction pads, but via ear pads. Let’s remember, I had put the GSP 670 through its paces in June 2019, about 2 years ago, or so I thought. At that time, I also tested the headset with a clear conscience, took it apart and analyzed the [...]
Before we get to the content of today’s review, I have to be fair and clarify the premise first. As a home office sysadmin, I spend several hours a day in meetings with colleagues and clients and depend on a high-quality audio solution. With surrounding neighbors and air conditioning another challenge in the summer, Active Noise Cancellation [...]
Sure, in the price range between 400 and 500 euros there are many offers of open or semi-open systems. so why the Avantone Pro Planar Red and above all, why at this price? Of course, you can sink money into audio products (like cars or pets) with relish, and you’ll never get to the monetary end of unlimited possibilities unless your name is [...]
In the last review I introduced you to the Shure Aonic 50 Overears, today I introduce you to another product from the Shure Aonic range: the Aonic 5 in-ears with matching Bluetooth 5 adapters. The Aonic 5 can definitely be classified in the high-end category, and this is also reflected in the price. According to the RRP, we have to put down a [...]
The Shure Aonic 50 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and is said to offer studio quality. At various retailers you can buy this headset for around 300 Euro. The RRP of Shure is 369 Euro, but a look at the website shows that the RRP has been lowered to 319 Euro. Scope of delivery The package includes the headphones, a [...]
