Oluv's Gadgets on youtube

I don’t know him super well, but what I have seen so far, he kind of seems like an idiot. One or two years ago I checked out his bluetooth speaker reviews, where he trashed Bose loudspeakers and hailed Anker Soundcore loudspeakers as the best. IIRC big part of that was that he put both speakers on full volume and the Bose distorted earlier… however it was a flawed comparision if you overlook the fact that the Bose was 3x smaller/lighter than the soundcore.

I just checked some of his videos on his channel, where he basically nowadays hails the Anker Soundcore Q30/35 as the best headphone. Better than the Sennheiser HD660s and better than the Dan Clark Stealth. In his comparisions/demonstrations he (for whatever reason) uses an equalizer for the Soundcore, but not for the other headphones. He often makes up what seems to me like bullshit excuses “the other headphones didn’t really sound good after eqing”. Didn’t really talk much about technicalities and the song he used for the comparision had terrible sound quality to begin with.

Again: I don’t know him very well and my first and second impression may be wrong, but he seems like an idiot. There is nothing wrong imho to say “for me this 50$ headphone is all that i need and for me there is no reason to upgrade”, but then why have a channel where you bitch about it all the time and portrait your opinion as gospel? I don’t know whether or not he is involved with them, but he comes across as a Soundcore shill…
