I had no idea that JVC made headphones that feature wood, so here’s this.

Hey Zeos, thanks for your very entertaining videos and for involving your community.
Here are my suggestions:

they are a small indipendent Speaker Lab. Their products always get stellar reviews and are quite budget friendly. I hav their Subwoofer UMK 15 and am very happy with it.

an interesting looking Soundbar that might pair well with your future projector :slight_smile:

Keep on doing what you do.

I’m sending him my set. Once my pre-order ships, with the case and both length aux cables, they’ll be headed straight to Zeos.

Pass Labs HPA-1
SPL Phonitor XE
Audeze Euclid
Chord Hugo 2
Scansonic MB 2.5B
Any kind of power conditioner (but likely something around $1,200 by Audioquest, Cardas, etc.)
Modwright Tryst
Woo Audio WA6, WA6-SE or WA5-LE

Spirit Torino needs some more exposure. Their headphones sound great and are a work of art.

Ifi Zen One Signature
Grado 325x
Edifier Stax Spirit S3
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3
Shuoer S12 (And the Difference to the Z12)

Hello Zeos, please review this weird and interesting product:

It is like a belt to connect the headphones and that belt has some speakers to produce a bass impact in your body.

Might be wrong here but I think a big part of your audience use desk setups and as such I think there’s some really interesting small speakers for near-field your reviews missed they are:

Genelec 8010As / 8020s stretching a bit the desktop use scenario.
Presonus Eris 3.5/4.5 (Oh and maybe the mathcing subs? That really should work well with any active speakers)
Edifier S880DB

I would also really like to see your input on Edifier Airpulse, and that new Stax bluetooth headphone, like did edifier kill stax with it?

Also maybe some PC surround gear reviews, I’ve only seen very few reviews of only older creative labs gear they are mostly unimpresive but they seem to have upped thei game quite a lot but I’m always skeptical of buying thaks to their reputation. But that leaves me improvising with expensive multi-output studio interfaces for quality surround sound on a PC.

I’ve always wanted to see you review the Bic America RTR-EV15. It’s a big ugly 15" three way speaker but I’ve heard good things about it elsewhere. Also would be interested to see anything from tekton.

Thanks to all who are posting. Keep them coming and there will be a livestream where why dig through the results.

Morning Z! Some thoughts below.

Raptgo Hook-X hybrid planar IEM via Linsoul

HifiMan EF400 dac/amp via Apos

iBasso DX170 (releases end of July) and DX320 via Audio46

Releases in August:

Shanling EM7 via Audio 46 (most likely), seems Shanling listened to some of your feedback about the EM5

All the hotlinks are to AliExpress.

Fosi Audio K5 DAC
-No english reviews on youtube since it has the same model name as the Fiio K5 but it seems like a nice alternative to the Schitt Fulla. Sold on AliExpress, Fosiaudioshop and Xduooaudio .com
-They also have a bunch of other affordable Amps, DACs and Speakers.

Whizzer Kylin HE03D
1DD semi-open back IEMs, looks gorgeous. Something about soundstage.

YU9 Audio [Fish 9] U-556
Apparently supposed to be an improved version of the Etymotic ER4 after they cloned it and decided they could improve it with their own design.

SoundMAGIC E11C
5 stars on What Hi-Fi and is advertised as such.

Review on sound dampening/absorption panels and what actually works and what’s decorative for room(or desk?) treatment .

OG HE-500. I rate these headphones and would love to hear your thoughts; particularly against the backdrop of capable modern cans.

Mostly interested in bang/buck kinda products/solutions. That’s what initially brought me to your channel and you’ve yet to disappoint.

Would be cool to see stuff like the miniDSP OpenDRC or anything equivalent (open source room correction).

Better yet, buying stuff like that and then hacking it to do what you want kinda like this. Or figuring out how to dump/load your own firmware on these devices. Where the audio head homebrew scene at?

Practical guides on how to fix living room setups would be cool too. You have a bunch of space in your basement you could use to setup common living room layouts (a la ikea) and then show specifically best ways to “fix” those setups given the layout/dimensions of the room and personal budgets/goals.

I’m mostly here for your passion of the things you review, don’t care much for specific products… especially if I can’t afford them.

Thanks Z
