HangZeos may not be modest (or have a clean mouth), but he does make being a audio/hi-fi enthusiast more... interesting. Along with tens-of-thousands worldwide, I value his opinions. Long live Z Reviews!
mattrisMeh, he's like skullcandy, muddy with bad sound quality, while other reviewers is like Sennheiser, clean, accurate and detailed. He is "LaVar Ball" entertaining tho or annoying depending on who you are, but he's the last person I would turn to for an accurate review. To each his own..
HangHe is the Andrew Zimmern of the audio world. Mr. Zimmern can eat something quite bland but it is still delicious to him. Almost everything is always delicious to Andrew Zimmern.
Pretty much everything new to Zeos is the best thing ever.
It is refreshing to watch people who love everything. I certainly taste a lot of crap food and hear a lot of crap audio equipment. I envy people happy with anything and everything.
If I could drink nickel beer and smoke penny tobacco and be happy with that...that would be the life. Liking the finest things in life is an overbearing curse.
Watching those two is quite liberating for my burdened soul.
HangYes, Zeos usually speaks in simpler terms and is known for praising gear that crosses his desk/living room - not always because it's "great" gear, but because it serves a specific purpose... no matter if it's relatively inexpensive or exceedingly pricey. To each his own, indeed.
IMPXANDERI never got the criticism of him liking everything when most of what he reviews are well regarded audio equipment right down to the cheapest ones. Its like many want him to say this $100 headphones is shit because that $600 headphone is better. They can both be good if not great. My HD598s are amazing headphones, my HD650s are amazing headphones.
Mark_MThey're definitely a noticeable upgrade music wise(the 598 have wider sound stage which is great for games) BUT keep in mind you will get more out of the HD650/XX the better your source. And in some cases what you use can hold it back though the HD598 might not have any issues as it is easy to drive. For example, if using an old motherboard, the HD650 might not make lick of difference and might even sound worse.
