V-Moda M100 Headphones – Oh it’s the Bass!
The M-100 in white (my color choice) is beautiful, and being an eggshell or pearl white, it not only looks very classy, it doesn't tend to show dirt and grime. The white M-80 is made the same way, and wearing t...

I last visited the Superlux stable with the HD661 which was a close run thing with the Sony MDR-7506 but with a bit more verve and attack and punishing highs and in the end something of an acquired taste. I did...

The AKG K550 – A New Era?
After getting my sweaty palms on the K3003 earlier last year and having owned and enjoyed the often polarized but popular K702 for a long period, the arrival of the K550, I admit, got me kind of excited to say ...
