QCY Crossky C30 Ear Clip Earphones review

The QCY Crossky C30 Ear Clip Earphones are a new shaped earbud to the market and some might be a bit puzzled on how they work but after testing to my surprise these are pretty cool and do not fall off despite how they sit in your ear and look.

These are a well built product and look premium it has to be said and overall the sound is dam good despite not going all the way into your ears and akin to bone conduction styled earbuds.

The touch controls work really well with all the features expected present and you can see more in the video review and screenshots below.

The QCY App is a decent app as I have said before and so is the brand  and after testing several products over the years they are impressive and these are no different when it comes to sound. For those who like to take calls they were also equally impressive and quite clear on both ends on the few calls taken.

Highs lows and mids all good good bass and volume no tinny sound maxed out and no lag latency and you also get spatial sound thrown in here now which is a good feature to see and with all the EQ settings to explore you can set the right sound for you as everyone ears differ and overall if you want something new to try and a new style with good sound I would certainly put them on my to buy list this year.

Tech Review – OpenRock X Open-Ear Air Conduction Sport Earbuds

The OpenRock X Open-Ear Air Conduction Sport Earbuds are their latest product on offer from the brand and this time packed with new features and a new app which is a great start.

Presentation is excellent with a cool styled box and an even better earbuds case that slides open with a press and the earbuds seperated in the middle with housed in an aluminium case.

These are secure and fit well on the ears and will not fall off so ideal for the gym bus/train commutes jogging or cycling and really anyone basically.

There is decent battery life here too with up to 48 hrs in total however will vary with EQ and volume settings. the case is on the large side but will give you plenty of juice on the go and they can fast charge too with 5 mins charging giving you 1 hr which is good.

The sound though.. The sound is actually excellent and leaning toward headphones and earbuds quality and with their app really gives you a better than expected immersive experience they get decently loud too and no issues with lag latency or tinny sound maxed out on volume, there is a volume limiter on board but why bother with that but that is just me I prefer to tune things up to the max.

The new app is quite good with a simple UI and looks good and simple to use with all the features expected, you can customize to your own needs and all feature are there such as call control, voice assistant access, higher and lower volume and change tracks so everything you need is there.

Check out the video review below for a closer look at how they work and their app and listen to more on what I have just said, these are certainly easy to recommend in my opinion.

Tech Review – Padmate S58 True Wireless Stereo Earphones

Padmate S58 OWS True Wireless Stereo Earbuds are a familiar looking earbuds and will be over the next year or more as last year we have seen a huge increase in such products from all manufacturers be it air or bone conduction styled, these are like mini speakers in your ears and still offer decent sound despite not being in your ear so to speak.

The design and look is clean and these are very comfortable and can be easily moved around to get the perfect fit, they will not fall off your ears and ideal for the sports fans out there or those who commute in general but anyone can use these..

I have tried around 20 pairs similar now and these have been one of the most comfortable to wear on be it at home or on the move and they feel secure which is important each side has its own controls to make commands on the go or take control of your calls which sounded great by the way.

The sound is no shabby either and sound great despite the lack of an app which means you have fixed controls and no EQ but overall they packed a punch decently loud and have as klight bit of bass but in general not much to complain about with the sound overall, there is a slight leakage element when maxed out but no lag latency no tinny sound either and overall pass the test for this style of earbud.

The controls work well albeit slightly sensitive but works fine every time, you may notice a play or pause command when putting on or removing but asides that the controls get it right all the time every time.

Battery life is also decent too and you can expect around 5 hours per charge and up to 15 per charge with the case this will of course vary by your volume setting and mine is mostly up to the max, there is also a handy LED display on the case to keep you informed of what juice is left.

Check the video below for more and if you are in the market for a new pair of this style of earbuds that are affordable do check them out below.

Final introduces VR2000 earphones for immersive gaming and 3D audio experience

Final, the Japanese high-end audio specialist, has announced their latest venture into the world of gaming and VR with the new VR2000 earphones.
For close to five decades, Final has long proven their mastery of all things hi-fi. Starting in 1974 with the development of high-end turntable cartridges, amplifies and CD transports, and more recently moving onto portable audio with their award-winning headphone and earphone models – final’s experience and insight is unmatched.
With the VR2000 Final has turned its attention to gamers, VR users and the captivating world of ASMR and immersive audio. Using newly designed ‘f-Core DU’ custom-made dynamic 6mm drivers developed in-house, final has been able to tune the VR2000 to extract every detail from your digital surroundings.
Whether playing a first-person shooter, exploring virtual worlds, relaxing to mediative ASMR or listening to a live jazz recording – the VR2000 will transport you into the heart of the action and deliver an experience like never before with no sound going unheard.
Hear distant footsteps and gunfire as though you were in battle yourself. Feel every reaction from a stadium full of thousands of spectators. Transport yourself to a 1970’s jazz club and hear every note played as though you were there.

A Wealth of Applications

Primarily designed for gaming and VR, the VR2000 can also be utilised to get the most out of live recordings, intricate electronic music, ASMR and the latest advancements in Dolby Atmos technology. Unlike typical earphones, the VR2000 has been designed to provide a spatial listening experience with a naturally vast soundstage and the ability to hear each and every sound individually separated with absolute clarity.
This attention to detail and separation lends itself most effectively to gamers – especially those involved within a competitive domain. The ability to react in-game is heavily reliant on the quality of the audio, and the speed at which users notice sound effects that have been produced for this very reason. The VR2000 is able to separate each sound and simultaneously deliver them accurately, and naturally, within its expansive soundstage.

‘f-Core DU’ Custom-Made Dynamic Driver

With the ‘f-Core DU’ driver, Final has managed to achieve a quality of sound that is unheard of in this price range. Completely redesigning driver parts such as diaphragms, voice coils, magnets, magnetic circuits, and adhesives, as well as production equipment. The material of the driver front housing is brass, which is less affected by magnetic force and has a higher specific gravity than general aluminium. In order to improve the time response performance of the diaphragm, the voice coil uses 30μ ultra-fine CCAW and is assembled with a minimum amount of adhesive to thoroughly reduce the weight of the moving parts.
Further developments in housing design have resulted in a uniquely attractive appearance and comfortable fit for the VR2000. Shells made from ABS plastic provides durability, and the OFC cable is covered in a tough and flexible coating with an in-line 3 button control with a high-quality built-in microphone – ideal for online gaming, streaming and taking calls.
The VR2000 comes supplied with a number of accessories including a selection of final Type E silicon eartips, earhooks for added support, and a carry pouch for safe storage.

PSB Announces the M4U 9 and M4U TWM Headphones

PSB Speakers, one of the first premium hi-fi loudspeaker brands to enter the headphone market over 10 years ago, announces all-new additions to their high-performance M4U line, the M4U 9 and M4U TWM, on the heels of releasing a new espresso brown finish of the M4U 8 MKIIs earlier this year. The headphones implement sound personalisation options through a partnership with Audiodo Personal Sound™ along with PSB’s proprietary RoomFeel™ technology. The next-generation M4U 9 and M4U TWM designs feature improved engineering, better componentry and overall stunning presentation of musical detail. The new wireless over-ear and in-ear headphones will be available for demo at the AXPONA Audio Expo from April 14-16, 2023, with retail availability across PSB sales channels starting June 2023 with the following MSRP: (M4U 9) US$499 / CA$699 / €549 / £449 and (M4U TWM) US$199 / CA$299 / €229 / £199.

M4U 9 – Premium Wireless ANC Headphones

Improving on three generations of award-winning headphone design, the M4U 9 is crafted with premium materials, adaptive audio technologies and intelligent features, bringing the ultimate in mobile luxe listening. The wireless active noise cancelling over-ear headphones implement new graphene-infused drivers which improve on damping, stiffness and efficiency to reveal PSB’s “true-to-nature” sonic signature, more crisp and powerful than ever before. aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth technology enables fast and easy pairing with any device, with support for up to 24-bit high-definition audio. The M4U 9 features all-digital active noise cancelling (ANC) capabilities utilising 4 digital MEMS microphones to decrease audio conversion errors in audio processing for pure noise-free listening, while two additional mics for cVc™ (clear voice capture) technology deliver crystal clear call quality. A three-position mode switch on the M4U 9 allows users to choose between ANC with RoomFeel, Active with RoomFeel or a Passive mode. Gyro-suspended, fabric and leatherette earpads tilted at 15 degrees provide excellent seal and ergonomic comfort for an extended listening time of up to 25 hours in Active Mode.

M4U TWM – True Wireless Micro Planar Earphones

The M4U TWM earbuds leverage powerful Magneto-Static technology in a Hybrid Planar dual driver design, utilising the same technology found in high-end magneto loudspeakers and fitting them into remarkably compact earbuds. Dedicated transducers, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies work together to make the in-ear listening experience truly pristine, reproducing sound with crisp highs, natural midrange and deep lush bass. Enhanced aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth technology keeps everything in sync from movies to games with dynamic low latency and an adaptive bit rate. Convenient features like hard click buttons on both earphones make music control and voice calls hands-free and intuitive, while a smart USB-C charging case delivers a maximum of 32 hours of extended play time (8 hours out of the case and 3 additional charge cycles in the case).

Sound Optimisation with Audiodo Personal Sound

An integration with Audiodo Personal Sound™ technology is one of the most unique features offered in both wireless headphones. The breakthrough technology uses a non-replicable set of algorithms which allows listeners to calibrate their headphones in a way that accommodates for the listening qualities of their left and right ears independently. After completing a quick and easy hearing assessment accessed through the PSB Headphones app, Audiodo Personal Sound™ maps out a precise and thorough understanding of the listener’s hearing, calculates what changes need to be made based on personal sound perception, and formulates a compensation curve for the listener that can be applied to the overall headphone sound.

Natural RoomFeel™ Tuning

Created to deliver rich and natural sound through headphones, the next generation of PSB’s proprietary RoomFeel technology mimics the experience of listening to a pair of high-quality, full-range speakers properly set up in a good room. Carefully developed using research and expertise around ‘Room Gain’ – the energy and warmth that room boundaries add to the response curve of a flat-measuring loudspeaker, RoomFeel makes the music feel less ‘in the head’ by recreating an open and natural in-room listening experience through the M4U headphones.

PSB Headphones App

All headphone settings, including Audiodo Personal Sound™ tests and Transparency modes are accessed centrally through the PSB Headphones app, a full-featured app that allows users to adjust settings, check battery levels and regularly keep the headphones up-to-date with the latest firmware updates and codes.
