Or the bat? They have excellent hearing. Drop missed an opportunity. Though that being said, we could have ended with the Drop Moth too.
A 250 ohm Bat sounds ok as does a BT Moth lol
I like crin too as a reviewer. Out iem tastes line up pretty well but it seems to be out headphone tastes might not lineup very well but I always welcome new perspectives
couldn"t agree more!
Have to check out his past work more than just the gigantic IEM list
Never mindā¦ Just read up what Indiegogo actually isā¦
Josh put out his comparison between the Panda and the Bose 700 earlier today. Iām actually a bit curious as to yāalls thoughts. I understand no one here has had extensive hands on time with the Panda, but I imagine at least some have had time with the 700.
The most experience Iāve had with the Bose was trying them out in demo units at big box electronics stores. That being said, I can figure from those demos was that the Bose sounded veiled to me. Nothing really stood out to me.
Hm, the thing is both Zeos & DMS agree that the Bose 700 was a downgrade in terms of sound compared to the previous QC35.
Bose ANC headphones have never sounded particularly good.
The ANC is good, they have decent battery life and they are comfortable enough to wear for hours.
I use mine on flights exclusively, and most of the time I donāt even play music through them.
To be clear I have the earlier none BT QC20ās

After Crinacleās review, im definitely less excited about this. Hopefully they send him a final production unit for comparison.
Itās most likely the same product everyone else got. But just to remind you the man isnāt a big fan of audezeās and only a fan of a few hifiman headphones sound wise.so what he doesnāt like you might really enjoy. I love audezeās and hifimans for the most part sound wise
You buy the 700 for ANC and pretty much it. Sound quality isnt good on them and definitely a downgrade from the 35. You get a design upgrade but doesnāt sound great. The panda lacks ANC but seems to be all about sound so if you take them on a plane better hope the seal is godly on them

Well, that is one benifit of Zās sound demos. Listen to see about how much it mutes his voice, enjoy some music, perhaps even find a new song you enjoy, and his typical obligatory leak test where he puts them on a foam block and you can hear roughly how much itāll leak sound.
Brandon Taylorās YouTube video on the panda popped up and I watched it for some reasonā¦ Talks LDAC options but uses an iPhone for the review 
. If he used something other than an iPhone it wasnāt mentioned. I donāt want to be mean but he shouldnt review audio, for the sake of the people who are subscribed to him.

Iād be curious as well. He was bopping around to the music so I donāt know if he actually listened. Drop should be more aware who theyāre sending these units to for review. Head scratcher for sure.
I think Drop was smart by sending him that. Same with Linus. They are catering for the masses here.
A lot of people follow Brandon and Linus. They want mass salesā¦ and the majority of the mass market are uneducated and/or will compare this to AirPods

That is very true. Just hate to see people misguided.
