There are a couple of benchmarks that are near universal when it comes to getting to the top tier. If you can’t shoot free throws, you don’t belong in the NBA; if you can’t make a V8, you shouldn’t be making full-size trucks; if you can’t make a pair of $100 earphones; you aren’t there. [...]
You know you make it big when you are reviewing a product that is virtually non-existent on the internet. Seriously, try to find something regarding the Wicked Reverb online – it’s not exactly easy. To our knowledge the only other page that mentions the Wicked Reverbs, is this post we published five hours ago. What [...]
Recently we reviewed the Wicked Audio Reverb headphones and were unaware of the price of the headphones at the time when we were writing the review. That led us to an obvious question as we tried to guess how much they might cost – How important is the cost when it comes to determining the [...]
When we were at CES all the way back in January, we go to hear a lot of headphones. Some were from companies that you know make headphones like Sennheiser, and some were from companies even we hadn’t heard of before. Wicked Audio is one of the latter. Wicked is part of Empire Brands Inc., [...]

Earlier this week we had the wonderful opportunity of speaking with Matt Engstrom. Matt is the Category Manager of Monitoring Products for Shure. We have reviewed quite a few Shure products, and almost all of them Matt has overseen. Headphone lovers get ready, after the jump is a bit of history and truth.
We aren’t going to lie, our first thought was: We can’t wait to hear the 840s. What we are referring to is Shure’s SRH440, which we will review today and Shure’s SRH840, which we will review later. The latter is the flagship model of Shure’s new headphone line. We have previously reviewed Shure’s earphone line [...]
A disclaimer: This will be one of the most detailed reviews you see here and probably on any other website. There are numerous pages that detail every seam and zipper of TOM BINH’s creations, comparing them to some of the more popular options for each category. We find that we need to take the time [...]
