Greetings! Today we’re checking out the Moondrop Super Spaceship Pulse (SSP), a companion product to the Super Spaceship Reference (SSR) which was my top earphone of 2020. Looking at the SSP you’d be forgiven for feeling a sense of deja vu. Along with the shell, the packaging and accessories are carried over from the SSR, though with a new coat of paint and lovely new … Continue reading Moondrop SSP (Super Spaceship Pulse): They’ve Done It Again…Again
Greetings, Today we’re checking out TinHiFi’s newest model in their popular T Series of earphones, the T2 Plus. TinHiFi became a sensation shortly after the release of the T2 thanks to its neutral-bright signature that was very much a novelty in the price range. With the exception of the T1 which is the warm, bassy, red-headed stepchild in the lineup, every release following the T2 … Continue reading TinHiFi T2 Plus: Familiarity
Greetings! Today we’re checking out an earphone that I was very excited to receive, the SSR, or Super Spaceship Reference. That second S for ‘Spaceship’ is why I was so pumped to review the SSR. The original Spaceship was one of my favourite purchases in 2019 and served as a near perfect daily driver for my listening needs. Small, comfy, and with a level of … Continue reading Moondrop SSR (Super Spaceship Reference): They’ve Done It Again

Dunu is far from new to the audio world, having been an OEM/ODM prior to firing up their own earphone brand in 2006.

The Titan … Continue reading Dunu DM-480: Twins Basil!
Welcome Back! Today I’m handing out accolades to products that won my heart throughout 2019. These weren’t necessarily best in class in every case, but the ones that stuck around in my daily driver lineup and made the most impact long term, or as long a term as could be given they were all received and reviewing during the 2019 calendar year. Let’s get started! … Continue reading 2019 Super Award Ceremony of Audio Excellence
Greetings, Today we’re checking out TinHiFi’s newest release, the P1. Back in October of 2017, TinHiFi (previously known as TinAudio) quietly took over the budget scene with the T2. It was a dual-dynamic earphone and it’s combination of low price, outstanding build quality, and one of the closest things to neutral without being deathly boring won over a crowd infatuated with hybrids and flashy specs. … Continue reading TinHiFi P1: Evolution
Greetings, TinHiFi, formerly and probably still better known as TinAudio, is a relatively new company and one that has built quite the reputation within a very short period of time.

This was at a time when budget hybrids were at their peak and having a dual-dynamic setup wasn’t the attention grabbing feature it … Continue reading TinHiFi T3: Mind….Blown
Greetings, The TinHiFi T2 came out of nowhere in 2017, rapidly becoming one of the most highly recommended budget earphones. The combination of a low price, great build, and most importantly a near neutral signature made it an easy recommendation. TinHiFi followed up the T2 with a pro variant nearly a year later, though it didn’t go over quite as well as a result of … Continue reading TinHiFi T3: Preview

It was an affordable, well-built dual-dynamic earphone that brought to the segment a near-neutral signature which was quite uncommon for 50 USD. Once the word got out, it became a fan favorite and a go to recommendation for many. When I heard TinHiFi was prepping to release an updated T2 … Continue reading TinHiFi T2 Pro: Update To A Modern Classic
