With or without a subwoofer, caught up in nuances and the desire to cut the most tonally clean video possible. And no, I chose the headline with the question of whether the Nubert nuPro X-3000 RC or the nuPro X-4000 RC would do the trick, again anything but by chance, because actually, as with the first test, I wanted a treat for both: precise [...]
What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
I’ll write out the product name once (almost) in full: S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10 MKII AK4493 HiFi 768KHz 32Bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder, then for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call the thing Sanskrit 10th MKII. The name with the 10-year anniversary has allowed itself the manufacturer to exactly this anniversary. I was intrigued by [...]
The fact that the small mobile DACs and headphone amplifiers cannot keep up with stationary devices should be well known due to their size and the associated technical limitations. But since I own some Beyerdynamic headphones myself as well as the A20 as a headphone amplifier, I was quite curious about the comparison. After all, they also [...]
The Sound BlasterX G6 looks like a G5, at least at first glance and as long as you don't look at the price tag. The 149 euros on the Creative homepage are a whopping 30 euros above the current street price of the predecessor. Of course, the legitimate question arises as to whether the whole thing is really worth the extra charge. With its USB [...]
Wavemaster has been offering a small pair of 2.0 stereo loudspeakers for some time now, which were deliberately placed below the Cube Mini Neo. And since I don't only test high-end, but also like to browse the budget area for bargains for my readers, the almost 70 Euros are actually not a hurdle. And if I have to be honest, I had a real déjà [...]
After various disposable products I am now testing 2-way in-ears with ANC in the form of the 1More True Wireless ANC. Personally, I always have a hard time with such reviews, but curiosity had finally won here, too. To have a good price by chance and to always have a customer waiting in the family also means spontaneous shopping, unpacking and [...]
The hype around the EarFun Air was already quite big, probably also because of cleverly launched reviews and press releases. A pair of buds for the narrow thaler with a rich sound and other good qualities? the reality: sold out and waiting for supplies. That makes you curious and a bit sceptical at the same time. All the more astonished I was [...]
I didn’t choose the title entirely by chance, because I actually wanted a treat for both: working in a video studio with precise sound and the appropriate sound system after work as a reward and relaxation for stressful hours. This may sound simple at first, but it is not. Analytical reproduction during mixing and cutting does not [...]
The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the suggestions of customers and editors and improved [...]
The weather provokes the way outside and be it on the home balcony. You like to take such a mobile sound lover out with you, because with the pure natural noises it is not far away in the city anyway. Despite lockdown. But how you manage to go singing and swimming with a 66 Euro expensive speaker in the truest sense of the word, I even want to [...]
NVIDIA recently introduced an AI tool for RTX owners that not only frees microphone recordings, but secondary and independent playback of any audio stream from noise. RTX Voice, as an AI noise cancellation tool, can be used for pretty much anything that uses the microphone input, including teams, zoom, Skype, Teamspeak and, of course, Discord [...]
Edifier Technology CompanyLtd was founded in Beijing in May 1996 and has since changed from a small, national producer to an internationally known and operating company. Activities in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region are evidence of rapid expansion. Compared to many competitors, the company has [...]
First of all, of course, you have to ask yourself how much money you really want to spend on in-ears, whether you are more brand-savvy, or like to experiment. For a street price of 99 euros for the CX 350BT and approx. 68 Euro for the CX 150BT you don't get too high, but you also have to be satisfied with the basics. The question arises: how [...]
Smaller, lighter, cheaper and still better in many areas? Names are sound and smoke, at least for some vendors who, with cheaper product lines, only eat from the glory of days gone by. Klipsch's active boxes are by no means a bad cheap drop, but both the louse quality of the folding and the boards, as well as the annoying background noise [...]
The fact that I generally prefer to play with very good stereo head listening rather than 7.1 gaming headsets is neither a secret nor somehow decadent. Resolution and location are simply better. But it doesn't always work without a microphone. Yes and then? Most of the headphones in my collection are wired and the one used here in the test [...]
Wavemaster has been working on the product portfolio for some time. In addition to the upward expansion with the Two Pro and the Subwoofer Fusion, it is above all the already known models that have been thoroughly refreshed and revised. The Cube Mini was good, no question, but the Cube Mini Neo is better. This is said not only by the manufacturer [...]
With the Speedlink Volity Ready, Speedlink wants to bring a USB microphone with swivel arm mount and various accessories to the podcasters or streamers of the world, so that their voices are also heard accordingly. So far so good. But how does this set for an EIA of 130 euros and a street price of 111 euros still compare against a 79 Euro podcast [...]
I always have a hard time with superlatives, especially in the area of gaming headsets. Almost always for a good reason, and very rarely in a positive sense. But if exceptions confirm the rule, then today is a state of exception. Of course I don’t want to spoil too much, but I have to point out that it’s really worth reading on [...]
