Audio Reviews

Music for the Masses.

Photography

This list contains links to our photography, which serves the purpose of introducing the physical and aesthetical characteristics of an audio product. For example the shape of an iem’s earpieces, nozzle angle/length/lips, features that predict comfort and fit for many…and that are therefore important dealmakers/-breakers for some even prior to sonic testing. Of course we give a the tech specs and frequency responses, too.

Instead of first impressions, we offer completely flavour-neutral optical treatments before following up with our exhaustive reviews of the products’ performances.

    Head-Fier since 2016. He has been known as “Otto Motor” to Head-Fiers, as “Dr. Schweinsgruber” to audiobudget.com users and Youtubers, and as “Brause” to Super Best Audio Friends and the Headphone Community. - For the purpose of confusion, he decided to pose under his real name Jürgen Kraus (“JK”) from now on. - This is a hobby. In “real” life, Jürgen is a professional geologist operating his own petroleum-exploration consulting company Franconia Geoscience Ltd. (see ad in the footer) based in Calgary, Canada. He holds German and Canadian passports. Jürgen had a classical music education from childhood through high school in Germany and he has been following popular music developments since the late 1970s. His understanding of arts and crafts was influenced by Bauhaus pragmatism: “less is more” and “form follows function”.
