It will take several  hou...

Apple Airpods Max - first sound sample

I shot a first video of the Airpods Max immediately after unboxing them in a park yesterday. But at home I noticed that the audio I captured was not 100% representative. I am not sure what the reason is, but I think that I simply couldn't find the correct position for the headphone when wearing m...

Night talk

My first kind of "night monologue" where I talk about things and stuff and suddenly the camera gets out of battery after 2 hours. I really wonder if someone will ever manage to watch this video to the very end.

JBL Clip 4 vs Tribit Stormbox Micro

When I returned the Sony WH-1000XM4 I took a walk through the Mediamarkt and tried out some stuff. The new JBL Clip 4 was quite promising knowing how horrible the previous one sounded, therefore I took it with me to check if it can finally compete against all the other great mini speakers out the...

Sony WH-1000XM4 vs Anker Soundcore Life Q30

I think this video is a bit more mass-compatible than the previous one.

Sony WH-1000XM4

Sorry about my ugliness but I noticed too late how ugly I actually looked.

Still I hope this video can give you at least a first impression about this overly hyped Sony headphone.

Microphone issues

Unfortunately my microphones already started to have issues when I shot this.  The left side is cutting out repeatedly. I could provide the in-camera sound but that sounds even worse.

I have another pair of the same in-ear mics which I will use from now on, but I am a bit worried those...

Anker Soundcore Life Q30 measurements & EQ settings

The Q30 measures quite bass heavy with most EQ presets, enabling ANC reduces overall bass, while normal and transparency mode add even more bass. My unit shows some slight deviation between left and right channel, which is not that hearable though.

For the user EQ I would enable ANC and use...
