Earsonics Special S-EM6 Red Devil Edition available for the month of March

The March-edition of the Earsonics S-EM6 is red, but despite its eponym, its sound is anything but evil. THL rate the regular version quite highly; it might better be dubbed angelic. 

Thanks for the tip, THL.

Super Sale: Monster Turbine earphones

I dug these way back in the TMA day back when they cost 200$ and up. They are still great earphones. Today they are 60% off, or 69,95$. Get 'em at Monsterproducts.com.

The Headphone List: Earsonics S-EM6 review

The Headphone List continued to prove their dominance in the independent headphone review web re: the coverage of earphones and headphones with their detailed coverage of the Earsonics S-EM6.

Their conclusion is a little weak, but when you're in the business of reviewing, you can't play favourites.

“If you like a focus on the midrange and want to get lost in your music, the S-EM6 can help you accomplish that.”

SpinFit earphone ear pieces

Ridiculous as it may sound, these were the highlight for me at Fujiya's October Headphone Festival. Why? I choose most ear pieces for comfort and for isolation. And I'm always listening to earphones whilst out and about.

My current favourite ear pieces are from the ortofon eQ5. But where the exit aperture of ortofon pieces distends and compresses when in the ear, SpinFit pieces keep their shape. Sound quality is better preserved and comfort is excellent.

These pieces are incredible. Unfortunately, their medium-sized ear pieces are quite small and large sized pieces - which I've been waiting for since October - are still not on market. M-sized pieces work just fine for most shallow insertion earphones with small bodies. But large-sized earphones and M-sized SpinFits are not a good fit. For instance, the ortofon eQ5 isn't the best match. 

Keep an eye on Ocharaku's SpinFit page for the latest on L stock.

Headfonia: Dita Audio The Answer review

I have the great pleasure of joining the writing staff at Headfonia, a website that I secretly detested when I was at TouchMyApps. Why? Because they were better than we were. Much better. But still I fought on in the plucky TMA way. Today, I'm a photographer by trade and a drunk writer by love. Headfonia shoots reviews like no one else and commands one of the coolest readerships out there.

I hope to be able to add content worthy of the Headfonia readership and brand.

My first drunken review is of the excellent Dita Audio The Answer, an earphone whose sound has captured my ardent love and admiration.

headfi: Westone AC20 musician's review

Headfier and admitted basshead, RiKToR, got all up into that custom IEM thing, having his church foot the bill for the Westone AC20. His impressions are frank and well-organised from a musician's, not an audiophile's perspective. 

Thank you again, headfi.
