I’m publishing headphone reviews starting with 2009, but if I’m looking deeper into my past, I’m doing them for at least 20 years, always ranking every single headphone that passed through these hands, so I wouldn’t forget any of them. Back in 2009, Sennheiser was releasing the …

Let me give you a little inside information about FiiO. They never rest on laurus nobilis leaves, they never compromise, never settle or slow down innovation. It’s one of those stubborn companies that are pushing the envelope on a daily basis. Every month, a new IEM, portable DAP, …

I still remember when IEM makers were trying to squeeze as many BA drivers in their creations, some squeezing as much as 24 drivers per side, yet Sennheiser drops the curtains on their top-dog single-driver dynamic IEM, that put them in the race for the best sound on the go. IE800 …
