Great perspective with "who the headphone is for." Keep the great reviews coming.

[mateosanboval]

Excellent era-apropriate title treatment and accompanying cue. Well played.

It's too bad SHPs got discontinued. Got a pair the last 2 years for christmas gifts. Those and the Monoprice Retros have been my go-to's for a while now.

I‘m currently waiting for my 1990 Pros and literally got scared the moment they didn‘t appear under 500$+ in your top choices. I watched your video about them and you rated them so good that I was getting seriously confused on how they couldn‘t be in the list. I had to go ahead and spoil myself in your video description and took a deep breath the moment I saw the 1990 Pros to then hear you saying „my overall winner“ :D
Great video as always, keep up that amazing content!

That Massdrop sponsorship is really coming along. 😂
Oh, and you’re totally wrong about PortaPros - that 80s retro-hip styling is cool as hell.

Happy Holiday everybody, I wish you a HiFi year
and live like a Khan

[AIRFORCEFREAK]

It's funny you always have to say you are not sponsored. The thing is about Massdrop is that they are really just the best value for Audiophiles right now. They make awesome stuff and you just can't beat Massdrop.

[TheDanimoca]

Your production quality is excellent and by far the best out of the "audio focused" channels.

Argons by Christmas? You must really be counting on that Santa fellow. Really looking forward to hearing Got the shipping notification earlier this week.

I have the 660s 👍very happy with it best all rounder

[gordonfreeman]

Is that Beyerdynamic T5P in the background on the table? MY favourite Headphone :-)

[Adam-qsir]

I have the vmoda, I have come to HATE the sound signature. Having said that though most non 'audiophiles' won't try anything better so they may work for them very well.

[dangerous_lemon]

great new format! you should do these more!

[cmonkey]

Just to add to it.. Zmf has auteurs on sale as b stock for like 1200. They are easily the best headphones I have heard and I sold off my stax L700 and am eagerly awaiting my zmf verite

[SuperAudionut]

Great job! Please provide recommendations for headphone amps and DAC. Happy Holidays!

[lemin]

Could you try out the Sennheiser hd 4.40 bt?

[larslovestech]

nice vid...hoping you get around to making a follow up with more categories like 'bass head'/ 'on ear'/ 'over ear'/ 'portable dac-amp' ...etc etc...p.s. that massdrop link in the description for the EM-U Purplehearts goes to a keyboard for some strange reason...??? ignore that statement the massdrop links are all generic and do not link to any one product...my bad

[PizzaOMC]

Would you recommend the k712 for the under 200 as they are really cheap on amazon uk atm

[Matasky]

Hey dude, great videos and very helpful for people like myself who don't have the option to try before buying..I'm looking for headphones under $250, right now I'm torn between HD6XX (all around but maybe bass a bit flat?), Fidelio X2 (love the build+style) and DT Premium 880/990s (hate the non-detachable cord)...IF you had to pick one of these for casual listening of MAINLY classic/blues/guitar-based rock (60s- 70s Stones/Floyd/Zep/Sabbath etc) what would you recommend? I'd love to hear your opinion, Thanks!
