any reviewer that claims to be objective and that “we must prove objectively that these can work for every single thing and distortion and all that shit” is bullshit. headphones are supposed to be about a sound, trying to be objective to figure out “ok this has detail retrieval of this and there is not a lot of sub bass on this song”, instead try to discuss how it felt to listen, how it really feels to listens, how comfortable it felt but also how it can compare to what you are used to. we just need to know what sound YOU love and compare that to other headphones… if I know your music taste and what you find fun to listen to and HOW you listen i will have fun and feel great watching your reviews

DoNaTe is like the most epic of headphone reviewers to avoid. He basically hears fr charts and reviews headphones without listening to them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this has to be the best sh*t I have heard yet. I can’t 
Give me a break lmao.
so he’s an ASR guy? They literally crap over every single piece of audio equipment that I own and enjoy. I guess what my ears enjoy are nowhere near their measurement curves over there. They hate my Maggie LRS.

I have not seen many people’s opinion on it, but personally I think Home Studio Basics from homestudiobasics.com (and his youtube channel) has some very down to earth views and approaches audio with good “no nonsense” ideas. Though his channel is not that big…

A couple decent new reviews on a product that I’m highly interested in:
$900 for class A + fully balanced + 15W/channel @32Ohms (per Raol on Headfi) seems like a decent combo.

One thing to keep in mind with measurements is that they say nothing about the sound you like. Some people like bright, others like thumping bass, there is an infinite number of personal sound preferences. Measurements can tell you a lot about how something performs but only you know whether or not you like a particular sound signature.
Imo it can really only tell you one or two small aspects of how something preforms on paper, while yes it might be worthwhile to look at and check it really can’t tell you all that much about the performance of the headphone overall, and is no way suitable to judge a headphone based off of alone imo

I’m very interested in this and how it sounds.
Same here. Need lots of solid reviews before the intro deal runs out in 9 days lol.
That’s probably all were getting before the end… Possibly it makes it to Thomas but he doesn’t do headphones and neither does Sean @ ZF… Possibly Currawong or Sandu gets it before then but not likely. There are a few written reviews over on headfi but I don’t know the main guy (Raol).
You think headphone show might do it?
Also I’m waiting on reviews because the power is similar to the upcoming volot and I trust burson and their shipping more than fluxlabs
Doubt it they have lanes they like to stay in… I think it’s products that they sell through their website. I don’t think they’ve reviewed Burson products in the past.
I will say I do question the Topology layout of the Burson Soloist vs. the Volot… Burson claims that the Soloist is truly balanced but if you check under the hood everything appears a bit sloppy (IMO) where the Volot it’s clearly fully balanced for the entire chain. It’s probably a minimal improvement thing but it’s there.
Do you have a link to this? Don’t see it on the Flux Labs site.
Its largely been talked about on headfi and here. The owner of fluxlabs has made people aware through email communication that it should be coming some time this month
