MoonDrop Golden Ages 1979 TWS Earphones Review
09.05.202430.01.2026

Another chance. I decided to give MoonDrop’s TWS earphones another chance, and it was a tough decision because MoonDrop Alice were shamefully poor in terms of connection stability and proprietary software.
When it comes to MoonDrop Golden Ages 1979, my attention was drawn to their design, low cost, and a planar driver. And I also had a glimmer of hope that at least MoonDrop managed to bring the software to the users-don’t-get-sick-and-tired state, after all.

CCA Rhapsody Review
11.03.202430.01.2026

The KZ company approached me and offered to write a review for them, and I didn’t refuse, as you can see, with my usual condition that they won’t be able to influence the review result. So! Here it is – the CCA Rhapsody in-ear wired hybrid headphones costing $42.

DUNU Alpha 3 Headphones Review
31.01.202430.01.2026

‘I’m looking for some decent earbuds. Wired model. I want to just hang these on my ears and not shove them inside. And so that these would be just a little bit audiophiliac!’ ‘Are you freaking serious,’ I thought. ‘Wow,’ I said. There was absolutely no way I could imagine the words ‘audiophilia’ or even just ‘good sound’ and ‘earbuds’ in one sentence – not to say in one product!

Aune AR5000 Review. Fanfare entry!
28.01.202430.01.2026

I didn’t have a chance to use any of the Aune products until recently, although I’ve read a lot of good reviews: their amplifiers usually have nice ratings on the Internet. That’s why I got curious when their first AR5000 headphones were announced in November 2023, and not just headphones but over-ear full-sized ones!

SONY WF-1000xm5 Review. It was nice until it wasn’t
21.01.202430.01.2026

The TWS headphones are difficult to make. The Moondrop couldn’t, and the Noble couldn’t, too. This is why the WF-1000xm4 always were and still are an excellent model for me: the Sony managed to match some good sound, rich feature range, excellent ergonomics and software stability. And then Linkbuds S were released: ‘they’re the same picture’, though much cheaper. These are great, really the best TWS headphones to date, which I honestly stated. Did I expect much from the WF-1000xm5? Heck yes, I did!

FiiO/JadeAudio JT1 Review. Nice and steady
11.01.202430.01.2026

How much do you think any decent closed-back wired headphones could cost? All of a sudden, the JadeAudio’s collab with the FiiO gets released, and it’s a pretty unusual JT1 model. This is your answer to the above question. These cost around $50 at the AliExpress sale. Would you expect anything great from such a thing? I don’t know! I wouldn’t.

Moondrop PARA Headphones Review
08.11.202330.01.2026

All because the manufacturer’s just released a couple of devices that interested me (not just headphones), so yes, Moondrop again. And today we’re taking a look at the planar Moondrop PARA headphones (the initial model name was Paradise). So, how much ‘Paradise’ is in those Moondrop PARA? Let’s see. Disclaimer: this review is probably the best review in the whole Internet. We don’t do worst, you know that.

Moondrop Chu 2 Headphones Review. My guilty pleasure
02.11.202330.01.2026

‘The Moondrop? Again?’ you’re probably asking the skies. Though as the majestic Marilyn Manson once said, ‘The Chu 2 are the strongest form of magic’. He didn’t, of course, but he certainly would, should he test this masterpiece. Anyways, the Moondrop Chu are once again in my hands to try and review – all thanks to one of my followers who not only challenged me to do so, but literally bought me these.
