FiiO FT5 hi-fi headphones

Easy to combine with their low impedance and high sensitivity, the FiiO FT5 headphones come with four interchangeable audio jacks, giving them great versatility.
  • Open-back over-ear headphones
  • 90mm Planar Magnetic transducers

I’m no expert, but what impressed me was their ability to reproduce the most minute details. Another quality is the impressive spatialization. It’s easy to visualize the position of each instrument in space.

Listening to my flac files with this DAP and my Grado SR225e headphones, I finally understood the harm that mp3 compression can do. There’s no turning back. The sound is so clear and balanced. It’s perfect for the price.

A very good ultra-short-throw projector that takes time to get used to, but delivers! […] Once all this [réglages] is done, let’s face it: the image is magnificent. I admit I have few points of comparison, but if the source is up to scratch, it’s splendid. The sound is on a par with a decent soundbar, and better than many televisions.

With amplification of up to 100 watts per channel, the WiiM Amp is ideal for powering bookshelf speakers or small floorstanding speakers.
  • Class D stereo hi-fi amplifier, 100 watts per channel into 4 ohms

Great design and excellent perceived quality. It’s small, so you can fit it anywhere. Installation and set-up: 10 minutes. It isn’t possible to find anything easier. Very user-friendly and easy-to-use app, I like the equalizer with its cool presets. I use the “acoustic” mode, perfect for classical music. […] In short, to sum up, I’ll repeat the title of my review: you’d have to be crazy to spend more.

Cayin Soul 170i tube amplifier

The Cayin Soul 170i amplifier incorporates numerous high-quality tubes, providing warm, precise and natural sound.
  • Integrated stereo amplifier, 2 x 75 watts (triode) or 2 x 130 watts (ultra-linear)
  • 6SN7 pre-amplifier tubes, 22DE4 power supply tubes, ECC83S voltage amplifier tubes, Tungsol KT170 output tubes
  • Frequency response: 5Hz to 50kHz
  • Unbalanced stereo RCA, pre-in RCA, balanced XLR inputs

This amp shares the qualities of the Nautilus, in particular the fusion of different registers: you hear instruments, music, not bass or treble. Where the difference lies is in the overall sound quality, which is exceptional.

Audio-Technica ATH-AVC500 headphones

The ear cups of the Audio-Technica ATH-AVC500 hi-fi headphones are made of aluminum, a material renowned in hi-fi for its anti-vibration qualities.
  • Closed-back over-ear headphones
  • 53mm transducers and CCAW (Copper-Clad Aluminium Wire) coils
  • Frequency response from 10Hz to 25kHz
  • Sensitivity of 106 dB/mW
  • 40 ohm impedance
  • Single-ended 3.5mm mini-jack cable and 6.35mm adapter
  • Price: €99

Sound-wise, it’s terrific: bass comes through well, but without being too dominant, highs are good for contrasting the bass, and voices are clear during a film. For musical use, it is very good and fairly balanced.

  • Sealed enclosure
  • 150W amplification (class D)
  • 7.9″ driver
  • Frequency response: 35Hz to 250Hz
  • Slim design
  • Price: €279

I’m blown away by the technology of this little Q Acoustics 3060S, which is very stylish, slim and light, but not when it comes to the bass! It’s got everything I like: sustain, dry, deep lows! The Bass Infinity technology is not a marketing lie […] It’s incredible what this little sub can do.
