Put an order in a couple days back for a set of Powerbeats Pro that were barely used if at all, with the box. $65-70 shipped, I think!
I know the signs of a fake to look them over when they come, but I vetted the eBay seller profile first and he seems like a legit individual with glowing and specific reviews.
One excuse fewer not to work out in this beautiful non-mosquito weather – I don’t have to stop listening!
So the Koss KPH40 was just purchased on Amazon. Warning, 1-2 week delivery window but woot!
Meze Liric inbound. Heard it at Capital Audiofest and liked it well enough to jump. Was going to post about it earlier, but it hadn’t been announced yet, lol.
Executive summary: it’s a quite nice, energetic, easy to drive closed planar. Sound and comfort wise, it trades blows with Stealth, but at half the cost. Build quality is one area that, IMO, Stealth clearly surpasses LIRIC’s plainer looks and somewhat pedestrian style. I also liked the Stealth comfort a smidge more, but apart from mildly aggressive clamping force, LIRIC is super comfortable as well. And clamping force is mitigated by THICC pads.
For me, LIRIC lands in quite a nice role in my collection as a highly capable closed back alternative to Verite Closed and Stellia. The former is still reigning champ for me, particularly for engaging vocals and other tracks with which I want to connect emotionally. Stellia is great for maxiumum detail extension, but has intimate staging. I still enjoy it for complex tracks, etc.
LIRIC offers a more energetic alternative to VC with a big stage and knockout imaging. It’s refined enough to earn a place as “closed can for rock + electronica” with VC retaining the top spot for most everything else. It will be interesting to pit LIRIC against Stelliia since both are easy to drive; both could be considered endgame closed over-ears.
Managed to get a PS5, got the last one the store had. I’ve been waiting almost a year to get one at retail cost.
Thanks for not playing into scalpers hands good sir!
A choosen one 
XD
Very nice! My girlfriend ended up paying above retail for an Xbox Series X, but yeah, it’s crazy how hard it still is to find the new consoles.
I know it’s a simplistic question, but which one gives you the most bass and bass presence? End game bass.
Thanks.
I bought Liric and Diana TC. Still waiting for LCD 5 to be sent out.
I keep eyeballing the closed back version, though it seems to, more or less, have been completely forgotten
Seems to me that it’s the other way around. Last I checked Closed Xs were sold out. 
Hifiman Edition XS
I promise I didn’t intend to cause hype, but good god they’re good. Lol
