VR3000 (with condenser mic) Review
I will be very honest and open with you, readers. I didn’t think anything beyond headphones would improve a virtual reality experience. But here we are. The VR3000 from developer Final brings a VR audio solution to the forefront. The simple design of the VR3000, which is essentially two IEM-like earbuds with a mic attached, is as useful as it is innocuous. Light as a feather with its design, and p...[Read More]
Heavys H1H Headphones Review
Back in college there was an afternoon I was feeling particularly despondent for one reason or another. The only thing I could think to make me feel better was music. Because this particular memory is from almost 20 years ago, please forgive me if I can’t remember whether I used my laptop, a CD player, or a hand-me-down iPod. But what I do remember is plugging in a pair of dirt-cheap headpho...[Read More]
HiFiMan DEVA Pro Headphone Review
Testing HiFiMan’s headphones over the past few months has been a trip. I’ve pivoted from closed-backs to open-backeds, getting a holistic experience of what it means to use and own a pair of planar magnetic headphones. HiFiMan’s Planar Neo Supernano Diaphragm is notably impressive for its price point and audio quality; similarly specced planar headphones go for $500 or more! That said, today’s rev...[Read More]
HiFiMan Sundara Closed Back Headphone Review
Remember when I reviewed the king of mid-fi headphones, the HiFiMan Sundara Open-Ear Headphones? It turns out they have a closed back sibling…and they’re also called the Sundara. Naming similarities aside, the Sundara Open-Ear headphones are a separate product from the Open-Ear model. They’re priced slightly less, have a different sound signature, and cater to a different type of listener. If you’...[Read More]
HiFiMan Sundara Planar Magnetic Open-Backed Headphones Review
A few weeks ago, DigitalChumps received a massive box full of headphones from the folks at HiFiMan. This meant that I had to pivot away from my regularly scheduled keyboard reviewing to focus on listening to music. Okay, maybe that’s not entirely true, but the fact is that we have lots to share with you in very little time. Today’s review is on the HiFiMan Sundara Planar Magnetic Open-Backed Headp...[Read More]
HIFIMAN HE400se Review
Sometimes, having headphones that deliver some solid sound substance is an audio blessing. The HE400se Planar open-back headphones from HIFIMAN are a comfortable marvel to behold. Flat and stylish, the headphones are some of the best-looking, sounding, and feeling that I have had the pleasure of reviewing. There truly isn’t anything to complain about. Let’s get this review going. Design The design...[Read More]
HIFIMAN HE-R9 Headphones Review
And the sounds keep on coming. The HE-R9 Headphones from HIFIMAN are the latest headphones that have crossed the Digitalchumps desk. These closed-in, dynamic headphones featuring 35khz frequency-response are artsy, comfortable, and hit the right spot when needing a clear catch system for audio. While the artsy side of the HE-R9 Headphones might be a bit much for some, the overall performance is qu...[Read More]
KIWI Ears x Z Reviews Serene Review
It has been a hot minute since I reviewed a dedicated wired headset. Like a super-hot minute. But here we go. KIWI Ears x Z Reviews Serene from developer Kiwi Ears is an interesting headset. Packed with a braided wire, sporting some good isolation, and delivering some great sound quality, the headset makes its mark in positive ways. The only blight on its review record is the driver flex, which ne...[Read More]
Kiwi Ears Ardor Bluetooth Headphones with ANC Review
It’s not often I see premium noise-cancelling features on a ~$100 headset, especially one that is moderately comfortable. The $100-and-under category of headphones, earbuds, and headsets often involve compromises that make the listening experience lackluster. I get it, in the name of affordability, compromises have to be made, but those compromises are often not worth it. It looks like Kiwi Ears h...[Read More]
Kiwi Ears Ellipse Headphone Review
Once upon a time in the early 2010s, I owned a pair of Sony MDR-XB500 headphones. I owned those headphones for nearly a decade, being my daily drivers because of their supreme comfort, excellent bass, and relatively wide soundstage for $70 (at the time). They were my favorite headphones because of their comfort – I wore them for hours while playing PS3, on my computer, and on my portable consoles ...[Read More]
