Resetting the expectations for the mini-review: FitEar fitear at AV Watch

December 9, 2014 ohm

Poring over nutritional information won't tell you what your favourite hamburger will taste like. Neither will reading AV Watch (Japanese) give you a real idea of a product's sound, or worth.

That said, yesterday's AV Watch "mini review" of the FitEar fitear (about which I jingled early this year) makes my longest reviews at ohm read like jingles. In fact, it makes my Headfonia reviews read like 'mini reviews'. 

Still, AV Watch use a lot of space to say very little:

1. FitEar fitear's driver count is a secret (like Parterre)
2. new, compact design and fit
3. strong, direct sound with sharp transients
4. fitear helps you rediscover your music

The rest of the review is basic audiophile jargon and memes. As useless as it may be as an audio review of the earphone, it's a long wind up that re-imagines the word 'mini'.
