I finally need some rest, because I haven’t really slept a lot the last days. Therefore I wanted to post this before taking some days off together with my family for fall break and make my “neutral EQ” for the HD600 finally public which will allow for listening to my binaural recordings wit...

Yesterday was playlist day but I was too tired to post anything and meanwhile today already became tomorrow, there I would like to post a more recent playlist I created just some days ago which should have also some newer discoveries included.l, unfortunately 2 tracks are missing from Spotify, bu...

Ok here it is: my very first version of the new neutral EQ for the HD600 which was derived from my recent experiments trying to render wind noises as faithfully as possible. With this EQ ...
2022-10-05 22:56:50 +0000 UTC View PostSorry guys but I was still busy as crazy the last days simply trying to understand how to achieve a perfectly neutral frequency response for a headphone towards my ear but realised that there may be more solutions to this problem which gave me sleepless nights as I have been continuously trying t...

I bet nobody has really heard a “neutral” sound out of a headphone yet. Despite all claims: this headphone is the most neutral one, or that one, from my own experience no headphone or IEM I have heard so far was really close to offer a fully neutral sound reproduction. I must confess that I h...

Just wanted to inform you that Patron finally added monthly subscription regardless of the day you sing up, you will get charged the same day and the next time a month later. Until now billing was only possible from the 1st of a month, thus you got charged when you signed up and then on the 1st o...

…it would seem, because I wasn’t very active on Patreon lately. Sorry for my long absence but I was having a hard time, feeling somehow depressed, listless and useless with no will to even check my Patreon messages. Although I had received some new products in the meantime from Soundpeats and...

Some mostly jazzy stuff as usual, unfortunately one track is missing on Spotify and the track from Sara K has some digital artefacts encoded at least in the iOS version, but apart from that a nicely spatial binaural recording from Chesky records:
This week’s music potpourri:

I was surprised how well the small Encore could keep up with the larger one up to maximum volume, but battery life is really bad which is the main reason I will return the Encore again, apart from that definitely one of the best and most impressive partyboxes from JBL so far.

Wanted to share some ideas I have for the UBOOM L.
I have sad news, as I just got an answer from Earfun regarding additional tunings:
After having finished the Enciore/Boombox 3 video I immediately shot this video where the Encore battery died. It was not fully charged but LEDs indicated like 75%. Having played for maybe 40 minutes altogether the battery performance of the Encore seems pretty weak. I haven’t charged the Tribi...

I was actually shocked how horrible these “Devialet drivers” performed. Although allegedly equipped with some tweeter the speaker suffers from heavy intermodulation and severe distortion issues already at low levels. And people are talking about “marketing fail” by Earfun. Now this is wha...

Unfortunately the camera got the last minutes of the video corrupted, maybe due to overheating, therefore at the very end there will be only a black image, sorry for this.
IMO the Encore is a better package for some outdoor party than the Boombox 3, with better and deeper and a more kicking...

I am sure many are eagerly waiting for my first impressions of the Partybox Encore. I shot a short public video with it which I would like to share already now with you.

One recommended to get the PL7 for a test because it allegedly sounds decent. I tend to contradict.

I managed to shoot some outdoor videos which are always a pain in the ass to record due to the wind etc. I also shot a first impressions video with the new JBL Boombox 3 which should be finished soon, so stay tuned!

Anker fixed the overheating issues which plagued the Motion Boom Plus with some new model, at the same time they fixed the weird treble response with the latest firmware 0.36. Definitely a much better deal than a JBL Xtreme 3 for example, but still not usable for low levels due to disappearing ba...
2022-08-20 09:45:36 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to share some different firmware versions for the UBOOM L which may be interesting to some. Inside the archive are all necessary files including the original PDF by Earfun how to update the speaker as well as the product media tool.
A wild mix of jazz, fusion, retro rock, and some undefined retro Steely Dan wannabes, a real pleasure to listen to:
