As it turns out, I'm becoming a bit of an audiophile. I recently bought a new pair of headphones and borrowed another pair for a review. This is the iFi GO Bar Kensei, and it is a DAC, which stands for digital-to-analogue converter. Put simply, it...

NOTHING sounds like a good idea to my EAR

18 Apr 2024 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I apologise in advance for the stupid pun in the headline. I also apologise because I have to explain it which, by definition, defeats the point. Nothing, which is a brand, unveiled a new product called Ear, which is a pair of ear buds. I'm growing...
