Meze 109 Pro hi-fi headphones

Designed to provide an accurate reproduction, the Meze 109 Pro headphones benefit from a meticulous design ensuring acoustic purity from 5Hz to 30kHz.

The Meze 109 Pro open-back hi-fi headphones provide a pure and natural sound thanks to their exclusive transducers and proprietary technologies. €799

The sound is spacious and rich, the bass pleasant, smooth and not overpowering. The highs are clear, and the mids aren’t too pronounced. There’s a nice balance, and the headphone + DAC duo allows me to truly optimize files from Apple Music, until I invest in a streamer and headphone amp. Great sound.

Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 DAP

The Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 DAP is equipped with several outputs, including one 4.4mm balanced output, making it compatible with a wide variety of headphones and in-ear monitors.

The Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 DAP features a quad 32-bit/384kHz, DSD256 and MQA DAC, as well as new amplification technology to deliver a high quality sound. €899

Let’s talk about sound quality. I won’t beat about the bush. The addition of the two extra chips to “imitate” the architecture of higher-end models (SP3000 for example) brings improved spatialization and a little more detail. Instruments can be easily positioned, a delight. […] Precise, detailed, rich, dynamic – that’s how I’d describe the sound. Whatever the musical genre, you’ll rediscover all the music you listen to, as long as you use high quality sources.

Ruark Audio R1 MK4 portable speaker

The Ruark Audio R1 MK4 Bluetooth speaker is very practical with its Rotodial control system that features all the controls.

The Ruark Audio R1 MK4 Bluetooth speaker is equipped with an FM and DAB+ tuner, a 3” Ruark NS+ driver and a 9-watt amplifier. €279

An excellent little DAB radio. I use it as an alarm and speaker in my 25m² bedroom. […] I heartily recommend this purchase to anyone looking for a great DAB radio and an excellent Bluetooth receiver with a distinctive, elegant design.

Panasonic TX-55LZ2000E OLED TV

Equipped with 4K 10Hz HDMI 2.1 connectors, the Panasonic TX-55LZ2000E OLED TV provides an ultra-responsive and smooth gaming experience with the latest graphics cards and consoles thanks to the Game Mode Extreme feature.

The Panasonic TX-55LZ2000E OLED television benefits from a professionally-calibrated 55” Master OLED Pro screen, ensuring high brightness and infinite contrast for optimal HDR10+ and Dolby Vision quality. €1,699

My thoughts on the TX-55LZ2000: the picture is exceptionally sharp; the colorimetry is remarkable (the grass on rugby pitches is unbelievably natural). […] The TV delivers a very HIGH-quality picture, and with 22 speakers, the sound is better than any other TV, but can’t compete with a top-of-the-range soundbar.

Rel Acoustics T/5x subwoofer

The Rel Acoustics T/5x subwoofer is an evolution of the T-5i model, with similar specs in a slightly larger cabinet.

The Rel Acoustics T/5x features a 7.9” driver, an amplification of 125 watts, as well as high and low level connectors to provide greater impact, energy and finesse. €865

The difference before/after is noticeable: a larger soundstage and rounder mids. […] I highly recommend this sub and am thinking of getting a second one, as recommended in a stereo installation.

Sennheiser IE 900 in-ear monitors

The Sennheiser IE 900 in-ear monitors come with two balanced cables with 2.5mm and 4.4mm mini-jack connectors, as well as a 3.5mm mini-jack unbalanced cable for compatibility with all sources.

The Sennheiser IE 900 in-ear monitors incorporate Sennhesier’s XWB TrueResponse transducers and X3R technology for a natural and detailed sound. €1,299

The Sennheiser IE 900 in-ear monitors demonstrate just how flawless their spatial control is. […]. I can sincerely recommend this investment (admittedly expensive, but well worth the price)… The IE900s are incredible, and I’m choosing my words carefully… They’re legendary!

Argon SA1 amplifier

The Argon SA1 amp features analog and digital inputs, a 24-bit/192kHz DAC, and aptX HD Bluetooth connectivity for easy wireless listening.

The Argon SA1 hi-fi amplifier provides a power of 2 x 50 watts in an ultra-compact format. €329

After 10 hours of listening to music on a Mac Mini m2 with the Boom 3D app and a pair of Q acoustics 3030i speakers, this little amp does the job in a surprising way that I didn’t expect… It’s punchy, clear, it fills the whole room, and provides surprisingly deep bass.

FiiO Q11 headphone amplifier

The FiiO Q11 headphone amp features a rugged metal chassis that is resistant to electromagnetic waves, a precise volume knob, an adjustable gain switch, and colored LEDs indicating the resolution of audio files.

The FiiO Q11 portable headphone amplifier is certified Hi-Res Audio, with support for files up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD. €99

I wasn’t expecting such good results, even with the quality of the chassis, and the look of the amplifier, with its backlit glass revealing some of the components, which is simply magnificent. It looks like a small high-end amp, which I really like. […] The FiiO Q11 amplifier brings out the highest frequencies in a very pleasant way, changing the sound quality of the Sennheiser HD660S2, making it more lively in the super-high range, with a more dynamic midrange.

Magnat Transpuls 1500 floorstanding speaker

The Magnat Transpuls 1500 speaker provides a powerful retro sound, perfect for hi-fi and home theater fans looking for realism.

The Magnat Transpuls 1500 floorstanding speaker’s 15” driver can go as deep as 16Hz, which is ideal for reproducing the piano, organ and infra-bass sounds in recordings. €1,190

These speakers give music fullness, volume and air. […] If you listen to contemporary music, from jazz to rock in all its forms, or pop, I really don’t think you need to spend any more: these speakers will satisfy you. Even with classical music, they’re very good.

Viewsonic X1-4K gaming projector

The Viewsonic X1-4K gaming projector is a 4K HDR designed specifically for video games, home theater and sports.

The Viewsonic X1-4K gaming projector is equipped with a LED light source with a brightness of 2,900 lumens and a lifespan of 30,000 hours.

A very good projector that is sufficiently bright. It should be used in Eco mode to reduce noise and make its LED light source last longer. […] In short, good value for money, preferable in my opinion to other gaming-oriented models.

A lifelong art enthusiast, I've made my way into the fascinating world of hi-fi and home theater. My trusty headphones are my constant companion, turning every journey into a private concert where I enjoy my favorite podcasts and catchy playlists one after the other. From rock and jazz to soul, rap and pop, my musical and cinematic tastes are very varied. If I'm not drawing or reading, I'm probably watching Friends, which I rewatch every time I finish the last episode.
