HEARS THE DIFFERANCE In many modern homes today, the television with all its other media components isn’t just an accessory that is part of a room in the house — there is a whole room dedicated to it. This room has a number of different names that many people tend to use synonymously — media room and home theatre. However, there is a massive difference between each of these rooms, which is important to recognize, especially if you are interested in installing one or the other in your own home. Here’s what you need to know. General Differences Let’s start with...

It’s gone up in price but the latest Marantz CD player is absolutely worth it Tested at £400 OUR VERDICT – 5 Stars Marantz remains a master of the affordable CD player FOR Big sound Good timing and focus Fine build and finish AGAINST Favours easy listening over out-and-out detail Meaningful increase in price over CD6006 At no point has it been broken – a string of What Hi-Fi? Awards dating back to the turn of the 21st century attests to that – but nevertheless Marantz has gone ahead and fixed its 6000 series CD player every year regardless. This latest version, the CD6006,...
DAP Acoustic Research offers brawny and energetic bass, musical and smooth midrange as well as free, transparent high notes. At the beginning of this year in the “internet” appeared information about launching a portable player of the Acoustic Research AR-M200. An American company with decades of experience probably associates every self-respecting audiophile. It is true that the AR department dealing with portable devices (apart from DAPs are headphones and accessories) is relatively young, but noblesse oblige, so the opportunity to test the new DAP from this stable I was very pleased. Encouraged by opinions on the topic of Acoustic Research portable musicians,...
These comfortable over-ear headphones serve up sound of the highest quality… Our Verdict 5 Stars Beyerdynamic has made a pair of headphones that sound as good as they feel For Nice bass detail Clear and organised Handles treble well Insightful midrange Against Nothing of note If we had to choose one word that encapsulates both the design and sound of Beyerdynamic’s Amiron headphones, it would be ‘comfortable’. But good reviews are usually longer, and more insightful than just one word – and the Amirons are talented enough that they’re worth writing about. Build and comfort You’re unlikely to have many...
PROS Dynamic, audiophile-quality performance. Sounds clear throughout the frequency range. Uses internal DAC and USB connection for purer audio playback. CONS Wireless streaming only available with an additional, optional accessory. Not for big bass lovers unless you add the separate subwoofer. BOTTOM LINE What the Audioengine A2+ stereo speakers lack in extra features, they more than make up for in accuracy and overall performance. While most of the consumer audio world has turned its focus to docks and wireless systems, Audioengine remains steadfast in its commitment to the standard two-piece, stereo, bookshelf-style speaker setup. When we reviewed the original Audioengine 2, no longer...
Disclaimer: I received the Acoustic Research M2 DAP from Acoustic Research, for purposes of reviewing it for Headfonia. The M2 will be returned to its owner at the conclusion of this review. The pictures in this review are property of their makers, these are not our pictures. Dale is doing this as a guest review. AR-M2 When I opened the shipping box, I was presented with a nice military-grade Pelican case containing the AR-M2 and accessories (USB cable and charger). The M2 itself is similar in size to the iPhone 6, but twice as thick and twice as heavy. Given the price...
DAB+/FM/Bluetooth music system with touch control and TV audio / auxiliary input E100 is a comprehensive installed music system appealing to those that appreciate the latest digital radio broadcasts at the touch of a button, but also appreciate playing music from smart phones, tablets or laptops. The bright OLED screen acts as a clock when in standby but then informs the user of the currently selected station or source. E100’s built in alarm and IP rating makes it equally suitable in bedrooms and bathrooms as well as kitchens. No clutter – E100 is built into the wall or kitchen cabinet...
PROS Wonderful audio performance. with excellent bass depth and clarity. Superb sense of space. Comfortable, secure fit. CONS Huge frame and open-back style earcup not ideal for on-the-go listening. Expensive. Lacks a cable with an inline remote control. BOTTOM LINE The magnetic drivers of the open-back Acoustic Research AR-H1 headphones deliver an excellent sonic experience with impressive accuracy and sense of space. We’ve reviewed only a handful of planar magnetic driver-based headphones thus far, like the Blue Ella and the in-ear Audeze iSine20. Now, we check out the bulky, beautiful, and—at $599.99—expensive Acoustic Research AR-H1. Even without its own internal amplifier like the Blue Ella...
