⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent – A Stunning Pair of Closed-Back Headphones The HIFIMAN HE-R9 headphones have completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I unboxed them, it was clear that these are something special. The build quality feels premium, the design is striking, and despite their bold look, they’re surprisingly lightweight and extremely comfortable for long listening sessions. Sound quality is where the HE-R9 truly shines. The dynamic driver delivers a beautifully rich, warm, and immersive sound signature. The bass is powerful yet controlled, giving real depth without overwhelming the mids. Vocals come through clean and natural, and the treble has great clarity without ever becoming harsh. For a closed-back design, the sense of space and detail is outstanding. You get punch, precision, and musicality all in one. Another huge plus: they’re easy to drive. Whether plugged into a desktop setup, a portable DAC, or even straight into a phone with an adapter, the HE-R9 consistently delivers impressive performance. Overall, the HIFIMAN HE-R9 is a phenomenal value for money and one of the best closed-back options I’ve owned. If you’re looking for headphones that combine comfort, unique style, and fantastic sound, these deserve full marks. Absolutely recommended

FiiO M21 Digital Audio Player
Thursday 07 August, 2025
I am a novice to DAPs but am interested in Hi-Fi systems and quality audio. Until now, the price of some DAPs has put me off and I saw them as devices more relevent to someone who travels a lot. Anyway, I decided to get a FiiO M21 and have connected it to a TEAC network player using a decent Bluetooth receiver and am so far impressed. However, I am most impressed with the speed of the delivery - ordered on a Wednesday and received on Thursday morning. That's hard to beat.

FiiO FX17 1 Dynamic, 4 BA, 8 Electrostatic Driver IEMs
Tuesday 06 May, 2025
This is the Flagship IEM from FiiO. My very first IEM was the FiiO FA19 and I thought that was the best sound I've ever heard and better than any headphone or earbuds I have or heard and so I was wondering after listening to SoundNews Review could the FX17 really be much better? Answer: Yes the FiiO FX17 are absolutely brilliant. The USB connection and the PEQ work well plugged into FiiO M17. The best EndGame Sound is when the FX17 is plugged into the iBasso DX340. Highly. The FX17 is FiiO's best IEM. They fit perfectly in your ears like the FiiO FH19 do and the cable is much better than the one you have with FA19 and FH19 which is Gold, Copper and Silver and interchangeable connections. AndyAudioVault called the FA19 the Supreme Being (Fith Element) - The FX17 is THE ONE (NEO The Matrix). Highly Recommened.
