I too agree. I still have my pair of XRs and I enjoyed them tremendously for the time they were in my rotation. If you can get over the fit, I think they’re the top choice for the $100 price range along with the Olina. I know which reviewer you guys are referring to and his videos are at BEST enjoyable the first time you see one … but then once you dig a tad deeper and see that he literally does this in every single video … it gets old real fast.

People who do this are just complete dickheads. Same goes for people making comments, statements, and things of that nature about products they’ve never heard or used.
Reminds me of “spritzer” and the Head-Case crew. Spritzer tried the Soltanus Acoustics Minima and proceeded to call all Soltanus Acoustics “utter trash” (even though he never put other models on his head)… then the dude went on to ramble about technical aspects because he couldn’t debate that he has never heard any other model other than “Minima”… and then went on to dismiss my opinion even though I owned and used the flagship Euridiche for over a year.
Some people are weird.
Don’t get me started… Those ones are the reason I started writing. I couldn’t stand the low-effort shit reviews these so-called “reviewers” were (and still are!) putting out.

Shout out to Julian Krause:
He isn’t so much into audiophile topics, but approaches the audio equipment more from a technical/objectivist standpoint. I don’t find the topic of all his videos interesting, but when I do, I think his videos are very informative and explains some more complicated topics in approachable and easy to understand ways.

I watched that one yesterday, and it was interesting, but that is my sort of stuff.

Thanks I would need that, if the new replacement phone that I will ever get for some god damned reason does not have a headphone jack, this can be a good help.

So I am talking through my backside because we hear differently? This video is my honest opinion about the Rode NTH-100 and how I hear them. Everyone hears differently.

As I said, it might be that our headphones are different. If the headphones are the same, then yes, I would conclude you are talking through your arse.

And in 2022, the dude is even better! HSB’s written reviews are also entertaining and, dare I say it, bloody literate!

@Ohmboy I have watched her for a long time. Very quick growth in her channel, deservedly
so, as she really knows her stuff and makes things really fun at the same time.

Yeah she’s a professionally trained opera singer and trainer, super enthusiastic about vocal technics what ever the genre…she’s an amazing singer 
and she’s equally amazed by other types vocal presentations

She’s great - love how she just has a deep appreciation of musicianship regardless of the genre. Her reaction to hearing Jinjer for the first time (their song Pisces) is pretty funny though

Doubly intriguing for me, as I’m a lead singer in a local rock band. Always trying to learn to be a better singer!

Ck out her review of Morgan James’ Take Me To Church! She also did a “tea
time” interview with her that reveals they are both really cool, genuine ladies.
