Verum 1 MK II - first impressions
This was a first recording attempt with my new microphones.
Listening to it afterwards I have the impression as if I will still need lots of work to make it perfect. The Verum-1 sounded more like it when I put on the ZMF pads, with the original pads the sound was somehow not captured that well.

I hope it will arrive this week as we will be going on vacation for some days and I would like to take it with us and maybe also shoot some first unboxing.

Sennheiser HD560S - unboxing & first impressions
I was planning to make this video public, but wanted to share this with you before.
I am not sure if my unit doesn't have some left-right imbalance, and if I shouldn't ask for replacement before doing my final review.
The HD560S is a natural and very detailed sounding punchy sounding headphone. Bass and mids are pretty flat just treble seems a bit over the top. Reducing 5khz by some dB improves the sound a lot IMO.

I had some tough time getting this online due to copyright reasons. I recorded this a while back but got a copyright claim 2 days later, blocking the whole video worldwide. I sped up the affected part, uploaded a chunk of it again and everything seemed fine, so I reuploaded the the whole edited video gain, just to get the same claim some days later. I sped it up even more now and hope everything is fine now.
update: video was again taken down due to copyright issues, thus I just cut out...

I am again fighting with some static hiss issues (hearable at the beginning). I am suspecting the Mi-band interfering with the audio recorder, because I didn't notice any problems with the Insta360 yet.

This time you can win one of my VIFA Helsinkis. It's a black unit that I bought recently, I just swapped the grills from my old grey unit. I think this double-colour makes both look quite unique and cool.

Thanks to one of my friends we can finally state that there is no real 2.0 of the Fugoo XL. The one sold on the Fugoo site is exactly the same unit that was sold for several years now, the “2.0” addition visible at the site is just bogus. https://fugoo.com/products/fugoo-tough-xl

Fugoo XL - frequency response measurements
Measured outdoor with and without sport jacket. The jacket was already modded with a thinner material, otherwise the original sport jacket would reduce treble even more. Also visible is some impact on mids and upper mids when playing inside the jacket creating some additional resonance above 1khz.
Back and front side measure quite similarly, when measured from the side treble loss is significant despite the 360° omnidirectional sound claims. Despite the treble boost visible in th...

JBL Partybox 100 - frequency response measurements
Measured outdoors at around half volume and maximum.
Treble boost appears excessive, but actually it helps to make the overall sound appear more in balance. The problem is rather the peaky treble response.
Also added a direct comparison of the Partybox 100 and Partybox On the Go. Below without bass boost, above with bass boost 1.
2020-08-29 16:54:29 +0000 UTC View PostJBL Partybox On The Go - frequency response measurements
The new Partybox On The Go measures pretty balanced without bass boost with just a tad too much mid bass around 100-200hz. Bass boost 1 would need more treble boost at the same time to get the sound more in balance, while bass boost 2 is just a bad joke.
Overall response is definitely more natural than on the Partybox 100, without that peaky treble, except bass, which has too much emphasis above 100hz for my taste.
Unsmoothened measurement shows some resonance at 800hz which is pr...
