The HD6XX From Massdrop
I'm not going to bore anyone with the detailed history of this headphone's past, at least not beyond the fact that the original HD650 was first released way back in 2003. Damn...do you know what I was doing in...

The Edition X V2 By Hifiman
Much like the HE1000, Hifiman has seen fit to bring out a revised Edition X in the form of the Edition X V2 and in doing so saw to it that my lead up to Xmas 2016 was filled with instant regret at not jumping o...
The K872 By AKG
