This will be my upcoming public video which will definitely create lots of controversy with me as usual contradicting all other reviewers. But I think I prove my point with my sound demonstration at the beginning that this headphone sounds just wrong. I cannot understand why it gets hyped so much.
That’s also the reason why I lost interest in reviewing audiostuff as most products simply do not deliver any improvements in audio quality, instead they just sound different.

Here you should get an idea about the sound of the ATH-SR50BT which I will give away. So far I got only one correct guess.

I just got the speaker stands I talked about in my last video and wanted to demonstrate you the effect of elevating the speakers from my usual position. I cannot guarantee that I was sitting exactly the same in both cases, although I tried hard, but you can nevertheless hear the drastic difference quite well I think. Therefore in my previous video the SP-200 were definitely playing with a disadvantage compared to the X3000. I would like to compare both in another short video but with both spe...

I am using my new compensation for this video which I worked on a bit more in the meantime. Sorry that it took me so long but I needed to optimise everything and I think I managed a great result, which should sound way more natural and smoother than my previous attempt regardless of used headphone for monitoring. At the same time I had to find the right balance to make the recording sound correct through the reference headphone by adjusting the headphone EQ to make it sound neutral when compa...
2023-03-07 10:48:11 +0000 UTC View PostI got the Nubert nuPro X3000 RC some days ago and immediately shot a video after unboxing, but instead of posting it immediately I decided to analyse the sound of these speakers a bit more in detail and set them up in a perfect acoustic triangle sitting about 130cm away from them with both speakers placed 130cm apart in order to perform some measurements, recordings etc and discovered some interesting facts which I would like to share with you.
I recorded the speakers with most my binau...

Better late than never: this time I would like to give away this Bluetooth headphone which I bought a while back but never managed a review which I will post within the next days. It’s surprisingly decent but still far from perfect, nevertheless better than most other Bluetooth headphones priced even higher.
I would like to make a quiz again to keep it fair. Everyone who can tell me which was my very first Audio Technica headphone that I owned for some time, send me a private message....

I was curious to finally try out the Middleton outdoors when the stormy weather calmed down that day and shot a longer video including the UBOOM L and the Soundcore Motion Boom. I was so shocked about the result that I decided to immediately shoot a shorter public video that you can see here. I didn’t manage to edit the other video in time, which I will hopefully finish next week.

Also with this ocmparison it's quite obvious that Audio Pro seems to have some issues with rendering a center image correctly. IMO the Audio Pro's have the sound shifted towards the left side, which would be the master speaker. Probably the master and slave measure differently. I could prove this maybe next time by measuring both speakers from both Nubert and Audio Pro separately. This would finally explain why imaging with Audio Pro speakers is so different compared to that from Nubert. Let ...

As I need to return the A38 I wanted to put them against the Nuberts this time also because both speakers cost more or less exactly the same. The biggest difference and advantage of the Audio Pros is inclusion of Wifi with Airplay 2 etc. Soundwise I would definitely give the edge to the Nuberts. What do you think?
2023-02-21 10:58:37 +0000 UTC View Post
A demonstration to compare the performance of both speakers for TV-listening. I have the impression as if Audio Pro's virtual surround mode was a bit more realistic, but the overall sound is too boomy and muddy with default settings. I prefer the overall clarity of the Nuberts for watching movies.
Both speakers lack any "night-mode" to avoid loud peaks during explosions and action scenes unfortunately.

Here you should hear the change in sound with different speaker placement quite well. My usual positioning definitely results in a way more bassheavy and more muddy sound with less apparent detail, this effect seems even more pronounced with the A28 which become close to unusable without any additional sound adjustment. The Nuberts seem still more enjoyable to me regardless of placement, and with the placement beside the TV and closer to the back-wall the lower bass gets some nice boost, whic...

I had to shoot this before finishing my Nubert SP-200 series, as I bought these headphones already some weeks ago, but was so disappointed by the sound/price ratio, that I didn't even touch them since then. I want to return them to get my money back, therefore this video here.
I wonder how all these raving reviews of this crap even dare to be published.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ZbU14o1Ku8hRKNGZ8miKS?si=KkK_fqlaQJeVsRDBncA4TQ
With this placement the differences in imaging between both speakers become even more obvious with particular tracks. It would seem as if the A28 were playing slightly out of phase between left and right, it sounds definitely more weird than the Nuberts, the A28 seem to be slightliy shifted to the left side.

I decided to divide this video into 3 parts as it's quite timeconsuming to edit all dedicated parts at once. This is episode 1 with both speaker sets placed at my usual positioning playing with their neutral default settings. The selected music is not chosen because I like it so much, but rather to demonstrate the qualities and differences between both speaker sets.
It's suprising to hear the results with exactly equal placement as the differences seem far less obvious than from my prev...

I may upload all my exclusive content to Patreon only in future, to become even more independent from Youtube.

I think this is the most interesting comparison, listening to both Nubert models side by side. Unfortunately I still got some clipping towards the end when I turned up volume, please apologise.
Please let me know what you think. I was actually surprised about the small ones which make the big ones somehow obsolete at least for me. I am tempted to keep the SP-200 and would like to ask for a white pair. The current one got some issues in the meantime and creates some buzzing at particular...

The vibraphone is one of my favourite instruments right after the Fender Rhodes. I am not sure if this is because both instruments have a similar metallic bell-like timbre, but I love the special atmosphere this instrument can create, therefore I wanted to dedicate this playlist to the vibraphone:

I am sorry, but there is again some clipping during the louder parts later on in the video. There is simply too much bass for that loudness and my standard recording level, my recorder has no low-cut filter thus records linearly down to below 20hz. You will also hear some chirping towards the end which comes from the fishtank. Unfortunately I didn't notice this over my microphones.
I love the complexity of rhythm, harmonics and melody of Brazilian music while still maintaining lots of feeling and romance and usually being recorded in a sophisticated way, that’s why I thought it would be time for another playlist with Brazilian music only and by some of the most popular Brazilian artists. Unfortunately with Apple Music and Deezer the last track in this playlist has some glitches as if having been encoded from a scratchy CD. I haven’t tried Spotify but it would seem a...

Unfortunately I got some clipping from my recorder during the bassy parts as recording gain was set too high by accident.
I am wondering if I should play the SP-200 against the A28 next or if I should put the SP-200 against the SP-500 first? Please let me know.
Meanwhile I have listened quite a bit more with the SP-500 and I have the impression as if upper mids had some slight issue, which I didn’t hear that well over my microphones, therefore I want to compare the ...
