Beyer T1.

Since they're hyped so much in other forums to the point of being an equal to the HD800, it'd be interesting to see the joke review thread expanded upon.

Also the Audio-Technica open-back headphones.

I feel like there's a lot of DAPs that should be added here. New Questyle one, new Hifiman, new Sony, etc.

It seems this thread derailed.  T1 is not a FOTM... of the last month at least. And this headphone is over reviewed here or there.

IMO what's interesting in the Anac proposal is to verify  in a CURRENT hype is justified or not . Maybe I'm wrong here

@OJneg ; portable gear is a paradise for hypes.. kind of Grand Central Station of Hype trains.  each month brings a new iem or dap wth people who claim it blows out the water the previous one. Pure madness.

Which? Are they all hyped?

Why is this hype? This is just RTA right? I'm not sure Convolution/EQ/DSP is viable for review, especially since they offer a free trial that anyone can judge for themselves. I mean, if you don't like it, you either don't know how to use EQ or just don't like their presets. Seems like too many subjective variables and too easy to access for the general population to judge for themselves.

Ortofon eQ5

Thanks for starting the thread.

eQ5 is good. I can attest to this personally. I think I have a review on H-fi somewhere. Very similar to the DBA-02/B2 in tonality and sound signature. Maybe a hint less bright and more extended and present in the low bass but shy on the DBA's superb crystal clarity. So same signature just a bit more neutral and extended but a tad less clear. I'm giving it full speed ahead. It has no serious flaws unless they retuned it over the years.

You're Welcome!

Yes, the T1 is hardly an unknown quantity. Perhaps the thread should be updated to include "search for reviews before posting."

Haven't heard the eq5, always wanted too, but I can attest that the new eq8 is quite amazing. My favorite iem at the moment.
