For open back? Nah, their strength in this space currently is materials work for enclosures and dampening rather than pushing technical…

Take it up with Audeze (LCD-2, LCD-X, MM-500), Audio Technica (ADX3000, ADX5000), AKG (K812 Pro), Focal (Clear MG, Hadenys), for how they…

You should probably demo the HD820 before buying, at which point you'll probably not want to buy it.

Yes for the Cosmo, was at that price about a week ago at Elise Audio, but not currently... may have been a price error? [Nan-7 is best…

Which is why I mostly picked a bunch of headphones that do resolution, detail and sometimes imaging better. The Arya line-up was made to…

Harder to recommend at $1899 while the Hifiman Arya Unveiled ($2300), Hifiman HE-1000 v2 ($1800), Hifman Arya Organic ($1500), Hifman Arya…

Assuming a variety of content, this hasn't been true since first generation QD-OLED. In terms of the weak point of QD-OLED, that's for…

Don't stress $675 is about the ATL for the Samsung 360Hz model so far, can imagine we'll see some interesting deals on that and 500Hz/540Hz…

Additional evidence of the thin line between high VRAM gaming and enterprise products:…

No worries! Maybe have a try of the Audeze LCD-2 Closed, Audeze LCD-XC and some of the Dan Clark closed backs as well. You typically won't…

Take a look at the Aune SR7000 and Focal Azurys but contrast it against the value of the FiiO FT1 and Audeze Maxwell, just to get a sense…

If you're thinking something along the classic Airpods design at a decent price with ANC, you do have the option of the Galaxy Buds 3 at…

Amazon put this at about $90-$100 on sale now, and you're even seeing the [base version of the Accentum series appear just above…

Sorry, yes, I obviously meant a 4090, and that's reflected in the power consumption comparison.

Yeah I meant optimal overclock at 320W power limit vs 350W, both are a huge uplift from stock. Suddenly the 5070 Ti performs like a 5080,…

True enough, but you're only getting maybe another 1-2%, so the curve flattens right out.

Please compare back with the parent comment. This is what people were saying in 2018, the last time there was a big architectural change on…

First one would require 3GB chips that aren't widely available yet (literally only the RTX 5090 mobile), second and third would be using…

It's not well tuned, so there's about 12% more performance to be had at 300W (typically it's 280W at stock despite 300 W TDP). At that…

Honestly unless you want to try some RTX demos, just get a used 10 series card. I picked up a GTX 1070 Ti for $500 on eBay. Value for money…

Another sales cycle is about to start with AliE tonight, so it likely will be available at the $150-$170 mark. It's such an outstanding…

Firstly, not a fan of deal posts that try and crowdsource all the advice on what's posted, IMO start with the search function and work from…

Ok this is a bit better, but again in this $800-$1400 price range you're still looking at stuff like the: - Hifiman Arya Stealth ($900…

The real review is cheap VA, dark smearing. No good for gaming, or scrolling in dark mode.

If you're chasing refresh rates above 240Hz, you probably wouldn't want either, save for one kind of QHD 360Hz panel. At 240Hz in the…

I have a high refresh rate monitor and I have used OLED monitors, including 480Hz ones. They all have much better response times than this…

No, that's not how inverse ghosting works. If you overdrive (read: increase voltage on) a slow panel excessively, that will produce the…

Response time and refresh rate both matter when you're driving for better motion clarity. It will look snappier at 360Hz over 180Hz (or…

Yeah you're looking at a better hardware and software experience except the lens and IPD experience. If you have a Quest 2 already,…

None of them are any good compared to anything other than the built-in speakers on a TV, and there are very few soundbars genuinely worth…
